5 RBs with League Winning RB1 Overall Upside for Fantasy Football 2026 We’re breaking down 5 players that have a real path to finishing as the RB1 overall in Fantasy Football for 2026. Here’s a breakdown of three of the Players Discussed: Saquon Barkley (RB7) Let’s start easy here with a guy who did it two years ago. Now a full year removed from the 436 carry season in which Saquon won fantasy leagues left and right, the table is set for a big bounce back season. Saquon has presented incredible upside in both the rushing and receiving game, and if he’s able to gain back some of the touchdown equity we saw in 2024 he may be one of the best values in the first few rounds of drafts this year. Outside of the obvious departure of AJ Brown, and the even more important departure of disaster artist offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo, one of the biggest changes to the offense this season is the Eagles reported push to have Jalen Hurts play more under center. Last season Saquon averaged a pedestrian 3.4 yards per carry in his 130 carries from the shotgun, and a far more impressive 4.9 YPC under center. With AJ Brown out of the building, and a new play caller at the helm, this team will be committed to getting Saquon Barkley in a position to succeed. The sky is the limit for the 3 time Top-5 fantasy RB. Kenneth Walker (RB10) FINALLY we get to see K9 unleashed as a bellcow running back here in Kansas City. Just a few years ago we were paying an arm and a leg for pieces of the KC offense, now we can get last year’s #1 rusher according to PFF’s rushing grade at a relatively cheap RB10 price tag. Not only that, but among RBs with 100 or more carries, he was 5th in the NFL in explosive run rate. The important thing to watch for Walker in determining his true upside will be whether or not the reports are true that Kansas City plans to use him more in the passing game, but they’ve given us 14 million reasons to believe they’re going to be giving Ken a whole lot of volume. With Eric Bieniemy back in town, expect to see a vastly upgraded KC offense compared to last season. Derrick Henry (RB12) Last year’s RB7, and the concern across the fantasy community is simple: when does the cliff come for 32 y/o Derrick Henry? Well if you look at the numbers, there’s at least no sign it’s imminent. Derrick Henry finished 2nd in the NFL in rushing yards, and impressively top-3 among qualified RBs in YPC at 5.2 yards behind only Devon Achane and James Cook. He also finished 2nd in the entire NFL in rushing touchdowns, all while leading the league in average defenders in the box at 7.84 due to lack of a threat in the passing game with Lamar Jackson hurt. Now with Lamar back healthy, there’s no reason why we couldn’t see Derrick Henry increase his efficiency and have this offense take a big step back in the right direction. We also will see Declan Doyle, a disciple of the Ben Johnson coaching tree, enter as the new offensive coordinator whose play-calling was described by Lamar as “mind-blowing.” Feel free to check out the video for a deeper dive on these three guys, plus two other potential RB1s we’re all in on! submitted by /u/The_Lineup_Podcast [link] [comments]
