Video: Top 40 Running Back Rankings & Tiers - 2026 Fantasy Football
Asha Genty, I get being hesitant after a very disappointing rookie season, but also he had 1321 yards and 10 touchdowns and 55 receptions...He's going to have improved quarterback play this season. Bowowers being back is massive...He's still a 23-year-old featured running back in today's NFL. He has the upside for 350 plus touches, 15 touchdowns, 60 plus receptions, probably 65 plus receptions. Um easily could next season be in the conversation for a top three pick in all fantasy.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Solid rookie despite narrative; 350+ touches, 15 TDs, 65+ receptions with improved QB.

Despite a disappointing rookie season narrative, Jeanty posted 1,321 yards, 10 touchdowns, and 55 receptions—a solid fantasy season. Speaker emphasizes the offense collapsed around him and that improved QB play, Bowers' return, and better coaching will reduce defensive focus on Jeanty alone. He projects 350+ touches, 15 TDs, 60+ receptions (likely 65+) and could be in the conversation for a top-3 pick next season. Speaker rates him as a mid-to-late first-round target, confident to take him after McCaffrey and Jonathan Taylor, though would take Josh Jacobs Smith-Njigba over him. The role is massive; situation cannot get worse.
