NFL ranks running backs for 2026 season as teams prepare for training camps

The valuation of NFL running backs is increasing as teams prepare for the 2026 season. Star players like Bijan Robinson, Christian McCaffrey, and Jahmyr Gibbs are reshaping the role of running backs, focusing on both ground and aerial contributions. Rankings have been compiled based on the expected depth charts for all 32 teams, though some player positions are still subject to change. The Jacksonville Jaguars currently rank last with an unproven group, while the Carolina Panthers and Green Bay Packers also feature among the lowest-ranked backfields. Teams will now evaluate these running backs during training camps and preseason games to finalize their rosters.
