About These Rankings
Workhorse backs carry college fantasy rosters, and the half-PPR scoring here rewards the ones catching passes out of the backfield. PFN's 2026 RB rankings put a premium on projected touches and goal-line work; each back lists his projected points per game, team and bye so you can weigh floor against ceiling.
