Yahoo Sports releases Week 1 fantasy football running back rankings
Josh Norris, Hayden Winks and Justin Boone have reviewed Yahoo Sports’ projected top 43 running backs for Week 1 of the 2026 fantasy football season.

Yahoo Sports has published its Week 1 fantasy football running back rankings for the 2026 season, presenting an analysts’ discussion of a top-43 list rather than confirmed match results or player statistics.
Josh Norris and Hayden Winks are joined by Justin Boone in the Yahoo Fantasy Football programme. The discussion begins with Jahmyr Gibbs, Bijan Robinson, Christian McCaffrey, Saquon Barkley and Jonathan Taylor.
Other players covered include De’Von Achane, Omarion Hampton, Chase Brown, Derrick Henry, Javonte Williams and Kenneth Walker III. The programme also highlights Ashton Jeanty, MarShawn Lloyd and Bhayshul Tuten.
The rankings are presented as fantasy football opinions and projections. Yahoo Sports does not provide the analysts’ methodology or supporting statistical projections in the supplied material, and the complete list cannot be independently confirmed because the source text is truncated.
The programme is available through Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube.
