Dynasty PPR RB Rankings

Updated on Sun, 8 Feb 2026

Off-the-cuff opinions from random guys on the internet are not the best foundation for creating PPR Rankings. You wouldn’t buy a house with a cracked or leaking basement, would you? No! The foundation for anything is critical.

At Draft Sharks, our Dynasty Rankings are based on data—a lot of it. We start with a player's baseline, a weighted average of this year’s projection, and their last two seasons. Then we use 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year fantasy forecasted output. This isn't guesswork. Our process has been built using machine learning for all NFL data since 1999. We determine this output using scientifically-sound performance aging curves and retirement rates. And these numbers are specific to both positional groups and archetypes of players. These are the smartest fantasy football projections on the market. Period.

3D values+ then apply a weighted average of those 1-,3-,5- and 10-year projections and a cross-positional algorithm based on your exact league setup and scoring. The results are an unparalleled single (true) value you can use universally on the site. That means you can use these values for ranking in the preseason, regular season, and trade valuations.

Ready to go for the gold? In the Draft War Room you can adjust the weighting even heavier toward year-one projection in "Win Now" mode.

Tier 1
1	Bijan Robinson B Robinson ATL RB1	1.03	5	24	348	840	1,351	2,271	With OC Arthur Smith out of town, Robinson's production exploded to 1,881 total yards and 15 TDs in 2024. While his TD count dropped in 2025, he still posted a career-high 22.0 PPR points per game. He also played all 17 games for the third straight season. At only 24, Bijan should remain an elite fantasy option for the foreseeable future.	100

2	Jahmyr Gibbs J Gibbs DET RB2	1.04	8	23.8	357	807	1,281	2,046	Despite a slow start, Gibbs largely delivered as a rookie RB. He averaged 5.2 YPC and popped in 10 TDs on 182 attempts, adding 52 receptions. His production reached new heights in 2024, and he proved more than capable as a workhorse back following a late-season injury to David Montgomery. 2025 turned up much of the same, as he finished as the PPR RB3 even with a few late-season duds. The former Round 1 pick is now eligible for a contract extension.	93

Tier 2
3	Ashton Jeanty A Jeanty LVR RB3	1.08	8	22.2	281	716	1,181	2,061	Jeanty went from a 1,900-yard sophomore season to a 2,700-yard junior season. His college tape showed elite contact balance, burst, and receiving ability. Arriving as the sixth overall pick, Jeanty showed elite flashes, most notably in a Week 16 game at Houston. Overall, Jeanty's effectiveness was limited by poor O-line and QB play. 2026 will bring major offensive changes, although Jeanty still projects as a workhorse.	81

4	Jeremiyah Love J Love RK RB4	N/A	18	20.7	235	708	1,178	2,204	Love has been a marvel with two straight 1,100-yard rushing seasons with a combined 35 rushing TDs. His contact balance and power are among the top RBs in recent years, and he grades out similarly to Ashton Jeanty. This is despite teammate Jadarian Price being a top RB in this class as well. Love offers three-down upside and should be instantly a top dynasty RB. He won't turn 21 until after the draft.	80

5	De'Von Achane D Achane MIA RB5	2.05	12	24.3	304	737	1,137	1,817	Achane's rushing efficiency hit a snag in 2024. But his receiving work went through the roof: 78 catches, 592 yards, and 6 TDs. Another easy RB1 season surfaced in 2025, although he'll now hit Year 4 alongside a new QB and HC.	78

6	Jonathan Taylor J Taylor IND RB6	3.04	11	27	307	724	1,113	1,824	Taylor missed three games in 2024 but remained busy on a per-game basis, averaging 23 touches. The former Round 2 pick then went off for a HUGE 2025 that included 323 carries, 1,585 yards, and 18 TDs. He added a career-high 46 catches and 378 yards. Now, Taylor's huge career workload makes him a candidate for an early decline. In the short-term, though, this Indy offense should remain centered on the run. JT is signed for one more season.	77

7	Omarion Hampton O Hampton LAC RB7	2.10	12	22.8	265	704	1,108	1,884	Hampton carried the North Carolina offense for two years (2023-2024, including one year when Drake Maye was the QB). The former four-star recruit tallied two straight years of 1,500+ rushing yards and 15 TDs, and he adds solid receiving potential. A shifty runner who can hit the home run, Hampton showed his athleticism by crushing the Combine with a 4.48 40-yard dash and a 38" vertical. While he landed in a dreamy spot with HC Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers, Hampton made only nine appearances due to an ankle fracture. If healthy, an RB1 season is in reach for '26 and beyond.	74

8	TreVeyon Henderson T Henderson NE RB8	4.02	14	23.3	224	680	1,075	1,775	Henderson was highly recruited and showed top-end traits at Ohio State, particularly his burst and pass-catching ability. He ran as expected at the Combine with a 4.43 40-yard dash and tied for second among RBs with a 1.52 10-yard split. Henderson appeared in all 17 games as a rookie but wasn't a major contributor until midseason. (He finished as a top-25 PPR back in seven of his final nine games.) An elite QB and an improved O-line only add value here.	68

9	James Cook J Cook BUF RB9	4.01	7	26.3	291	620	893	1,315	Cook erupted for a massive 18 total TDs in 2024. He posted another 14 scores this past fall, also supplying a career-high 1,621 rushing yards in 17 games. He inked a contract extension last August, keeping him under team control through the 2029 season.	55

10	Breece Hall B Hall UNS RB10	3.09	18	24.7	236	583	910	1,454	The 36th overall pick, Hall looked to be on his way to an excellent rookie year. Then came an ACL tear in Week 7. Only 22, the Iowa State product returned for Week 1, 2023, proving both durable and effective in a tough situation. A largely ineffective Aaron Rodgers limited Hall in 2024, while the RB also battled through a knee injury. 2025 turned up even worse QB play, although Hall still posted a career-high 1,065 rushing yards. He now enters free agency ahead of his age-25 season.	53

11	Josh Jacobs J Jacobs GB RB11	3.10	5	27.9	276	580	866	1,367	Jacobs took a step back in 2023 while playing under the franchise tag, but he was utilized heavily under interim HC Antonio Pierce. He then inked a 4-year deal with Green Bay, where his efficiency ticked up, and a career-high 16 TDs surfaced in 2024. Injuries impacted his effectiveness in 2025, but he still posted back-end RB1 numbers with 16.1 PPR points per game. He'll play next year at 27 -- and with a sizable 1,840 career carries.	52

12	Bucky Irving B Irving TB RB12	2.08	9	23.4	234	551	881	1,496	Irving performed as one of the most elusive RBs in the 2024 class. From 2022 to 2023, he forced a missed tackle every 2.5 carries – a terrific mark. That elusiveness translated to the pros right away, as he tallied 5.4 yards per carry and 1,513 total yards. 2025 wasn't as friendly, as he missed six games with a foot injury and slotted just 18th in PPR points per game. He'll return as the lead back in '26 under a new OC.	51

Then came a nightmare 2024 that included multiple lower-body injuries (and only 50 total carries). He rebounded to a PPR RB1 finish in 2025, boosted by a huge 102 catches. Of equal importance: CMC played all 17 games. He'll play next season at 30.	48

14	Quinshon Judkins Q Judkins CLE RB14	4.12	9	22.3	209	534	838	1,419	Judkins answered questions about his athleticism with a 4.48 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine and tied for second among RBs with a 1.52 10-yard split. His rookie season started strongly, but he was ultimately limited by a poor supporting cast. Judkins' season also ended with a Week 16 fibula fracture and ankle dislocation. Following surgery, he's expected to be ready for training camp, where he should retain lead-back work.	46

15	Saquon Barkley S Barkley PHI RB15	1.07	9	28.9	266	547	799	1,095	Barkley hit as our 2022 Comeback Pick. 2023 turned up an ugly QB situation and poor efficiency on strong volume. Barkley expressed interest in returning to New York but ultimately joined a superior environment in Philly. From there, he enjoyed a historic 2024 with 2,005 yards and 15 total TDs. 2025 marked a clear step back, as Barkley no longer delivered a steady dose of explosive plays. He's signed for three more seasons.	43

16	Chase Brown C Brown CIN RB16	4.03	10	25.8	258	491	726	1,188	After a quiet rookie year, Brown showed he belongs as a big piece of Cincy's backfield in 2024. He tallied 229-990-7 rushing -- plus 54-360-4 receiving. Brown notched similar numbers in 2025, despite significant missed time from Joe Burrow. 2026 turns up a contract season for the fourth-year RB.	39

17	Kyren Williams K Williams LAR RB17	3.07	8	25.4	229	458	708	1,214	Williams further solidified himself as a top RB in 2024, logging 1,481 scrimmage yards and 16 TDs. L.A. spent a Round 3 pick on Blake Corum, but he was lightly used throughout the season. Williams signed an extension in August of '25, but Corum earned a larger piece of the backfield work. Still, Williams delivered 1,252 yards and hit double-digit TDs for the third straight season. We expect similar backfield usage in 2026.	36

18	RJ Harvey R Harvey DEN RB18	5.02	12	25	239	486	693	886	Harvey was a surprise second-round pick, but two straight years of 1,400 rushing yards and good receiving skills made him a fit for HC Sean Payton’s offense. His workload increased after J.K. Dobbins sustained a mid-season injury, and the rookie showed well with 12 total scores. Long-term, we don't expect Harvey to become a workhorse.	32

19	Cameron Skattebo C Skattebo NYG RB19	7.06	14	24	210	436	683	1,103	Skattebo earned plenty of hype as a hard-nosed runner with 1,711 rushing yards in 2024. Arizona State utilized him in the passing game, too, but he didn't display top-notch athleticism. Skattebo did post a strong 39.5" vertical at the NFL Combine. While his Round 4 draft capital wasn't ideal, Skattebo looked like an NFL back in brief 2025 action. He missed most of the season with a serious ankle injury and will push to earn touches for a new staff in 2026.	32

He brushed off age/decline concerns to drop another strong season in 2025 -- this time with 16 rushing TDs and 5.2 YPC. Henry remains year to year at this stage of his career.

He is an average athlete, but ran a ton of routes at both Mississippi State and USC. However, as a rookie, Marks caught only 24 passes in 16 games. His rushing volume spiked to 196 attempts, as Nick Chubb remained underwhelming and Joe Mixon never suited up due to a foot injury. While Houston needs to upgrade the O-line, Marks could stick as the short-term lead back.	20

Chicago provided a fine free agent spot for volume, but a poorly orchestrated offense and a weak O-line limited the fantasy impact. The offensive infrastructure changed alongside new HC Ben Johnson in 2025. As a result, Swift rebounded to finish as the PPR RB14, despite the emergence of Kyle Monangai. The veteran is under contract for one more season.	19
