What are the early top 15 running back rankings for 2026?
Welcome to the Fantasy Footballers Podcast with your hosts Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright.
Welcome in.
Tuesday, April 14th. Welcome into the Fantasy Footballers. Mike Wright is here. Jason Moore. Accounted for. I'm Andy Holloway. Welcome in one and all. Great show for you today. It's never too early for the early top 15 running backs. Not when you call them early. No, we have prefaced it. These are the early top 15 running back rankings. I guess we have running backs today, wide receivers on Thursday. So getting into early rankings.
These early rankings are really about the heart. You know what I mean? Because when our fully established rankings come out, at June 1st, the Ultimate Draft Kit, we've statted everybody out. This is more vibes. You know what I mean? I'm like, I like this guy more. I don't have him statted out yet, and I'm not sure 100% that that's how the chips are going to fall.
But if you made me draft today, I'd probably draft this guy.
Yeah, exactly.
So we're going to go through our top 15 by consensus. So we have some differences of opinion, and they get averaged out here. So that's the main event today. We've got some news to talk about as well. A reminder, you can watch the show over on YouTube, youtube.com slash the fantasy footballer. Subscribe, click the bell. We do some live events over there. That way you know what's going on.
We have a magic wall.
And we have a magic wall. That's what we should just call it. We do. We have a magic wall. It's Magic Mike's Wall. If we want to just be in the middle of the Caribbean.
No. It's good for search engine stuff, Jay. Okay.
He wants naming rights on the wall?
He wants it to be Magic Mike's. I think you're going to get different results. You know what I mean? We're not going to crack that one. I'm just trying to get a new audience.
All right. YouTube for the Magic Wall. Mike's Magic Wall. Mike's Magic Wall.
No, no, no. Magic Mike's Wall. That's what it is.
The draft kit is ultimatedraftkit.com. If you want to go preorder it, it is the best possible price right now. You will get instant access to the Dynasty Pass if you pick up the ultimate draft kit. And, you know, we're almost to the draft. We're 10 days away, which is crazy.
We're rapidly approaching crazy season.
And we're even still being surprised at times.
That's what I mean. We're in it where you're... Groupthink, just like in fantasy football when you get in the tops, some groupthink does start to take over. And NFL mock drafts, it's hard to not have... Let me peek at my friend's paper and see how they're doing things over there. But we just had Daniel Jeremiah, who's great at his job. I love Daniel Jeremiah.
Oh, he's how you like to start a conversation about somebody?
Because he's great at his job, but no, we don't ever see that. Oh, okay. Good point. Like Papa Josh is a guy. Then you go from there. But he had Jeremiah Love not only falling in the top 10, which that could happen. I do believe that that could happen. That could happen, sure. But going to the Kansas City Chiefs at nine after making Ken Bone Walker the fourth highest paid running back, it just is like... Yeah, teams do wild stuff, but that would just be such a use of your assets to make your team better, to just lock them all into the running back position.
I mean, that really would be the closest thing to the running back version of Michael Penix Jr. to the Falcons, where you spent the offseason. spending huge money on somebody now you don't normally do that at running back especially when you look at that team and you're like well they could use mckay limit they could use jordan tyson they could use carnell tate one of those guys would be there at nine certainly at least one will be there if not all yeah kenyan sadiq um so don't don't put sadiq to the chiefs jay why because we can't survive it i know all of us who are holding the wall of like
Kenyon Sadiq has some red flags in his profile. As a prospect, you're like, golly, it's really hard not to push up the chips all the way into the middle of the table with what he can do, just who he is as an athlete.
