2026 Fantasy Football: Week 10 RB Rankings

We’ve now turned the corner to the second half of the season. The NFL Trade Deadline was Tuesday (11/10) afternoon, and there actually weren’t any seismic changes across the running back landscape. Neither Derrick Henry nor Jonathan Taylor was moved. In general, it’s hard to predict what is going to happen on a weekly basis at the position. Yes, we know that Kenneth Walker is elite and Jonah Coleman is seemingly emerging, but there are a lot more questions than answers across the league. Let’s try to make sense of the overall picture and dig into our Week 10 NFL running back rankings.

Running Back Notes

Kaleb Johnson, Green Bay Packers

Talk about a shock. Maybe there was a stretch at the start of the season, after Johnson was acquired from the Pittsburgh Steelers, that the former third-round pick was going to be fantasy relevant. However, that didn’t occur; MarShawn Lloyd emerged, and then Josh Jacobs returned.

While he has struggled, Jacobs did score two touchdowns two weeks ago. Perhaps more importantly, he also dominated the workload with 21 carries, albeit for 39 yards. However, he made it through just four carries for five yards last week before exiting with a finger injury. Jacobs tried a few times to return, but he simply couldn’t hold or grip the ball. Heading into Week 10, his status is unclear, but at this point in the week, I’m preparing as if he will be sidelined. After all, what good is a running back who can’t run while holding the ball?

With Lloyd also sidelined with a knee injury, that meant Johnson was in position to step up last week. He did so with 14 carries for 68 yards, and that’s sure to draw some attention. He shouldn’t be ignored, but it’s important to keep in mind, whoever the running back is, that it’s not a great matchup. Green Bay is facing a Minnesota Vikings run defense that’s in the top five of fewest fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs.

Don’t expect a miracle out of Johnson, but an emergence wouldn’t be completely shocking.

Jadarian Price, Seattle Seahawks

There’s no reason why Price couldn’t have been the replacement for Kenneth Walker. I mean, the former Notre Dame running back was drafted as such, right? Yes, Zach Charbonnet was in the picture, but Price could have taken control of the situation. That was especially the case while the veteran was sidelined with injury.

With 52 rushing yards in each of his first two games, that did look like a possibility, until Price got hurt as well. He has since returned to action, but the problem is that Charbonnet has as well. Price had 10 carries for 29 yards in his first game back and followed that up with nine carries for 24 yards. He was also targeted four times in each game and caught all four passes for 54 yards last week. However, based on the workload, it’s appearing as if the rookie will be more of a third-down or supporting back.

Charbonnet jumped up to 16 carries last week and, maybe more importantly, finished with 77 yards. At the moment, he is sitting on top of Seattle’s backfield ahead of a favorable matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Tyler Allgeier, Arizona Cardinals

The situation is appealing. Maybe even more so if you are dealing with injuries and underperforming players across your lineup. And at this point in the season, who isn’t?

Yes, Jeremiyah Love is on Injured Reserve and Bam Knight has yet to be cleared with a concussion, but does that mean we should attack Allgeier each week? Not only was he the number-one back for Arizona in Week 9, but he was the only back. That might change in Week 10 if Knight returns, but the workload will still be there.

Despite carrying the ball 17 times last week, Allgeier only managed 46 yards. It was a tough matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, but things aren’t going to get any easier this week. In fact, against the Los Angeles Rams, it might get harder. The Rams are in the top five in fewest fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs. Additionally, game flow likely isn’t going to support the run game.

Yes, there will be quantity, but we can’t expect the efficiency to follow.
