Which young running backs are actually ready to break out in 2026 fantasy football — and which ones are already too expensive?
RayGQue breaks down Ashton Jeanty, Quinshon Judkins, Omarion Hampton, Cam Skattebo and Kyle Monangai, using projected workload, efficiency, receiving volume and current ADP to determine which second-year RBs can actually beat their price.
From Jeanty’s RB1 overall ceiling to Judkins’ massive projected workload and one late-round RB that could provide serious value, these are five backs fantasy managers need to understand before draft season.
Who are you betting on to make the biggest Year 2 leap?
