2026 Dynasty RB Rankings: Where the Tiers Break and Why

The FantasyPros Dynasty Football Podcast crew—Ryan Warmley, Pat Fitzmaurice, and Scott Bogman—spent an episode working through the top six tiers of their 2026 dynasty running back rankings, reacting to the expert consensus rankings at fantasypros.com as of June 18th. The conversation reveals where the consensus holds firm, where it starts to fray, and which players each analyst is willing to bet on or fade.

The Top Tier: Bijan and Gibbs, Then a Gap

Tier one contains only three names: Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, and rookie Ashton Jeanty. The first two are uncontroversial—both have been top-four running backs multiple seasons. Jeanty is the debate. Fitzmaurice argued he does not belong in the same tier, saying "those guys have done it, and they've done it for a couple of years now," while Jeanty's "disappointing" rookie season was still only RB13 in half-PPR. Bogman disagreed, citing Jeanty's potential for 350 touches per year and an improved Raiders offensive line with Colton Miller and Jackson Powers-Johnson returning plus the addition of Tyler Linderbaum. Warmley drew the line differently: he thinks you could at least make a case for Bijan or Gibbs as a first-round pick in a Superflex startup, but not Jeanty. The consensus takeaway: Bijan and Gibbs are in their own air, and Jeanty belongs in tier two.
