NFL Running Back Rankings 2026

52 RBs ranked, 2026 season, 2 games in. Updated every Tuesday.

QB RB WR TE EDGE IDL LB CB S OT IOL

Every running back in the league with real snaps in the 2026 season, ranked by the StickToTheModel model: production per play against the league, not a poll. Derrick Henry (BAL), Kenneth Walker III (KC), Chuba Hubbard (CAR) sit at the top after 2 games in. Tier 1 is the handful who change a game plan; a tier is a gap in the numbers, not a round number. Click any name for his stats, contract and this week's lines.

How the running back rankings work

The rank is the model's, built from play-by-play: what a running back produced on his snaps against what the league produces on the same snaps, weighted by volume so a big season on few games does not jump a full one. Model is the 0-100 score on his profile page. Players with fewer than a quarter of the leader's games are left off until they catch up. Ranks refresh every Tuesday after the week's stats land.
