When drafting your fantasy football team, the most important thing you can do is identify the sleeper running backs. They are the true league winners in this game. No position is more important than the running backs, so you need to get them right. These are the top running back sleepers for the 2026 fantasy football season.
Quinshon Judkins, Cleveland Browns
Judkins isn't being drafted as a top-20 running back this year, according to his current ADP. However, as an RB2, even on the fringe of being an RB3, it's hard to call a running back a sleeper, but we are making an exception here because we would be okay with drafting Judkins just outside of the RB1s.
We love the value with Judkins and believe he is being undervalued due to being on the Browns. He is going to see a ton of volume and has the ability to make a big jump as a pass-catcher. Don't be shocked if he hits 1,000 yards and double-digit touchdowns this season.
