Silva’s 2026 Tiers for Drafting Cheat Sheet: Excel | PDF
Tier 1: Jahmyr Gibbs (RB1) > Bijan Robinson (RB2)
First-tier running backs represent the should-be top picks in virtually every fantasy draft. No position makes a bigger difference in fantasy, and these guys top the heap.
Jahmyr Gibbs has 38 touchdowns over the last two seasons. David Montgomery is gone to Houston. The Lions addressed an ailing offensive line by signing C Cade Mays in free agency and drafting RT Blake Miller in the first round. Detroit’s strength of schedule is the softest in the league. Gibbs is going to go berserk.
Bijan Robinson, entering his fourth NFL season, has never missed a game. He led the league in yards from scrimmage (2,298) in 2025 and ranked second behind Christian McCaffrey in receiving yards (820) among running backs. Tyler Allgeier, who out-carried Robinson 19 to 17 in rushing attempts inside the 10-yard line last season, left for Arizona.
