NFL Fantasy 2026 Rankings Spotlight Top Running Backs and Tight Ends

FanDuel Research released its projected fantasy football rankings for the 2026 season. The running back list ranks Bijan Robinson (Falcons) first, followed by Jahmyr Gibbs (Lions), Jonathan Taylor (Colts), De'Von Achane (Dolphins) and Christian McCaffrey (49ers) among the top five. The full top‑25 includes players such as Ashton Jeanty, Josh Jacobs and others, with guidance for PPR league formats.

A separate ranking details the tight end position, placing Trey McBride (Arizona Cardinals) and Brock Bowers (Las Vegas Raiders) at the top of the tiered list. The analysis notes McBride’s record‑setting 2025 season and Bowers’ consistent PPR production despite his team’s low passing grade. Both rankings are intended for redraft leagues and were last updated in early August 2024.
