Few players have created more excitement for Rich than KC Concepcion. His separation, movement skills, versatility, and ability with the ball in his hands have Rich aggressively trying to acquire him before his dynasty value rises further.

The rookie conversation does not stop there. Ashton Jeanty remains a potential workhorse, but an impressive preseason from the backs behind him creates an interesting workload discussion.

The guys also explain why dynasty best ball changes the types of players they target, identify inexpensive running backs contenders can pursue, and discuss why paying premium prices at running back is not always necessary.

Then attention turns toward the future. With the 2027 class finally approaching, several under the radar college prospects join the familiar names dynasty managers have been tracking for years.

2026 Fantasy Football Running Back Rankings: Top 12 Debate

The top of the running back board looks loaded, but agreement disappears quickly once the Dynasty Nerds crew gets past the biggest names. Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price break down their top 12 running backs for 2026 and debate which stars have a real path to finishing as the overall RB1.

Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, and Christian McCaffrey headline the conversation, but the hosts believe De'Von Achane belongs firmly in the mix as well. His receiving usage and explosive ceiling make him one of the most intriguing names near the top of the position.

The easy choices end there. Once the rankings move deeper, roster situations, injuries, workloads, and age create plenty of disagreement.

Cam Skattebo produces one of the biggest debates after landing surprisingly high on one host's board. Javonte Williams also gets serious top 12 consideration, while Jonathan Taylor brings concerns after another massive workload.

The crew also weighs the championship appeal of James Cook, the upside of Omarion Hampton, and several veterans who could either reward fantasy managers or fall outside the elite tier.

The season is nearly here, and this one is not about dynasty value. On this episode of the Dynasty Nerds Podcast, Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price reveal their top 12 quarterbacks for 2026, the guys they think actually carry teams to a championship. 🏆

Listen to This Episode:Apple PodcastsSpotifyYouTube

Everyone assumes Josh Allen is the automatic QB1, and one host takes a calculated swing anyway, putting Joe Burrow at the top and explaining exactly why the Bengals defense makes it work. Jayden Daniels, Lamar Jackson, and Drake Maye fill out the top of the boards, while Patrick Mahomes gets left off a top 12 entirely. Trevor Lawrence gets a passionate defense after a scorching finish to last season.

Malik Willis cracks a top 12 on rushing volume alone, Jaxson Dart splits the room over deep ball accuracy, and Caleb Williams has one host far higher than the rest. Then Justin Herbert takes heat, with two hosts off him entirely and a make or break framing that might change how you value him. Compare the lists to your own dynasty rankings before draft day. 🔥

Flag plant season is here, and this pair is not hedging. On this episode of the Dynasty Nerds Podcast, Garret Price and Andrew Mott name the players they are riding into 2026.

Listen to This Episode:Apple PodcastsSpotifyYouTube

Andrew plants his flag on Jayden Daniels for a top five finish, arguing the market badly overreacted to an injury riddled year two. Garret counters with Jalen Hurts, and he takes apart every knock one by one, the age narrative, the tush push, and the loss of a certain number one receiver. Then comes the one place these two actually disagree, and it involves Cam Skattebo and the arrival of Najee Harris.

De'Von Achane gets a passionate defense despite the offense around him, Chris Olave draws an irrational buy from Andrew, and Tee Higgins might be the most gettable contending piece in dynasty right now. Emeka Egbuka is pegged for a top 15 finish, and both hosts land on the same tight end: Tyler Warren, with a target projection that will raise eyebrows. Line these up against the dynasty rankings and see who you agree with. 🔥

Camp week delivered one of the fastest panic cycles of the offseason. On this episode of the Dynasty Nerds Podcast, Garret Price and Andrew Mott run through the news that actually moves your roster, starting with a scare that came and went in about five hours. 😅

Listen to This Episode:Apple PodcastsSpotifyYouTube

Ashton Jeanty went from doomsday to high ankle in a matter of hours, and managers who moved fast got fleeced. The guys share two real trades that closed before the truth came out, plus why Mike Washington still matters even now. Then it is Carnell Tate, still without a catch this preseason, and Garret explains why this is a buy window rather than a red flag, even with the Cam Ward concerns piling up.

Tyrone Tracy may be in the doghouse, Marshawn Lloyd could cut into Josh Jacobs more than expected, and San Francisco might have finally found a running back two and Deshaun Stripling keeps forcing the issue. Update your board with the latest dynasty rankings.
