Week 1 rankings: QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | Kicker | Team DEF | FlexThe 2026 NFL season is here!That means fantasy football managers far and wide will be checking out the first week of matchups as they start down the road to a league championship! To help you get down that path and reach the ultimate goal, here are my fantasy running back player rankings for Week 1.The position has plenty of question marks, as backfields in Arizona, Carolina, Denver, Green Bay, Jacksonville, Minnesota, Pittsburgh and Washington need to be fleshed out due to injuries or uncertain projected touch percentages (aka the dreaded committee situation).For now, I have the Raiders' Ashton Jeanty (ankle) and Cardinals' Jeremiyah Love (ankle) projected to start for their respective teams, though I will update them as we get injury reports and new information. If they aren’t able to play, Mike Washington Jr. and Tyler Allgeier, respectively, will skyrocket up the rankings. Be sure to check back daily for updates. Good luck, and let's go get that 'chip together!Week 1 Fantasy Running Back RankingsRKPlayerTMOpponent1Jahmyr GibbsDETvs. NO2Bijan RobinsonATLat PIT3Christian McCaffreySFat LAR4Jonathan TaylorINDvs. BAL5Chase BrownCINvs. TB6De'Von AchaneMIAat LV7Derrick HenryBALat IND8Saquon BarkleyPHIvs. WAS9Omarion HamptonLACvs. ARI10James CookBUFat HOU11Ashton JeantyLVvs. MIA12Breece HallNYJat TEN13D'Andre SwiftCHIat CAR14Travis Etienne Jr.NOat DET15Jeremiyah LoveARIat LAC16Javonte WilliamsDALat NYG17Kenneth Walker IIIKCvs. DEN18Kyren WilliamsLARvs. SF19Rhamondre StevensonNEat SEA20Jadarian PriceSEAvs. NE21Cam SkatteboNYGvs. DAL22Quinshon JudkinsCLEat JAC23Bucky IrvingTBat CIN24David MontgomeryHOUvs. BUF25Jaylen WarrenPITvs. ATL26Bhayshul TutenJACvs. CLE27MarShawn LloydGBat MIN28Tony PollardTENvs. NYJ29Kenneth GainwellTBat CIN30Jacory Croskey-MerrittWASat PHI31Chuba HubbardCARvs. CHI32Rico DowdlePITvs. ATL33J.K.
