Video: Top 40 Running Back Rankings & Tiers - 2026 Fantasy Football
Ken Walker after him. Zero zero competition for touches on early downs and at the goal line. So, he carries legitimate 300 rush attempt, 15 touchdown upside...if he has even 40 receptions and they use him in the passing game, then I mean, he's going to be a league winner, right?...Obviously, like they don't want Mahomes scrambling coming off the torn ACL, so that's good for dumpoffs...he's never had more than 255 touches in a season despite at times being very clearly the best running back.

Ranked 1st RB with 300+ touch and 15 TD upside if receptions materialize

Ranked 1st among RBs discussed. Walker has zero competition for touches on early downs and at the goal line, carrying legitimate 300+ rush attempt and 15 touchdown upside. Kansas City's run-heavy offense after years of positional struggles means every red-zone carry will go to Walker. Patrick Mahomes' torn ACL recovery means the team will lean on rushing and dumpoffs rather than scrambles, benefiting Walker's touch volume. If he receives 40+ receptions while maintaining goal-line and early-down work, he becomes a league winner. However, he's never exceeded 255 touches in a season despite being the clear best RB at times, suggesting potential workload management due to durability concerns or unknown role in new system.
