Welcome to Fantasy Football Championship Week. Congratulations if you are still alive. This will be the last week of my position preview. Let’s go get a championship! While there will be plenty of content for those trying to win it all this week, I look to also take a look ahead this time of year to 2026. So you’ll still find waiver wire adds, numbers to know, and Week 17 DFS plays below like normal. But to start, I would like to offer a short overview as to what the position might look like in 2026.Running back is the position with the most annual turnover, so we won’t get too far ahead of ourselves, but there are a few sure things at the top. Jahmyr Gibbs, Bijan Robinson, De’Von Achane, Jonathan Taylor, and James Cook will all be at the top of the rankings. Chrsitian McCaffrey, even in his Age 30 season, likely will be too. Josh Jacobs won’t be top six, but he’s the next best bet to be top 12. Then it gets pretty hairy.Will the Raiders do enough to improve their line so that Ashton Jeanry is a top 12 back again? Can fellow rookies TreVeyon Henderson, Omarion Hampton, or RJ Harvey crack the first two rounds? Where are Travis Etienne and Javonte Williams playing? If they stay put they could be top 12. Chase Brown probably will be as well.After those guys, expect a bit of a free-for-all. Free agency and the NFL Draft will help sort things out, but aging veterans like Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry will be tough to rank no matter what happens around them. Now let’s get to the rest of the Week 17 RB Preview:
