RB Tiers w/ Mike Renner (April 9)
Actionable Fantasy Takes: 2026 NFL Draft RB Tier List w/ Mike Renner (April 9, 2026)
- Jeremiyah Love is going to cost a 1/2 turn pick in fantasy drafts. He’s likely a top-seven pick in the NFL Draft (Titans at 4, Giants at 5, Commanders at 7). A running back going that high means workload. — Levitan
- Renner has Love as his third-highest-graded prospect in the entire draft, any position. S tier. Jahmyr Gibbs comp but 14 pounds heavier. Prefers Love over Gibbs as a prospect “pretty comfortably” due to the sub-200-pound concern with Gibbs. — Renner
- Jadarian Price to Seattle at 32 is the fantasy scenario to watch. If the Seahawks take Price, his ADP is going through the roof. — Renner
- Price is a better pure receiver than most backs in this class. Zero career drops. Pass pro is technique, not effort — that gets fixed at the NFL level. He’s a B-tier back who can start right away for someone. — Renner
- Bhayhsul Tuten would only be RB3 in this draft class. That’s how weak this class is. Renner didn’t even have Tuten that high last year — he’d just be third here by default. — Renner
- Levitan thinks Chris Rodriguez Jr. will be the lead back over Tuten in Jacksonville. Got destroyed on Twitter for it, but stands by it. Tuten is a fourth-round pick who had 386 yards as a rookie. — Levitan
- Emmett Johnson has a real fantasy/real life split. Catches the ball at an outrageous rate, which is obviously valuable in fantasy. But Renner has him in the F tier — slow, small, timid between the tackles, pedestrian testing. Ceiling is a third-down back. — Renner/Levitan
- Jonah Coleman could go on Day 2 and get on the field early because he can pass protect. Renner has an F-tier grade, but at the RB position, opportunity is everything. If he gets drafted higher than expected, the pass protection gives him a path to early snaps. — Levitan
- Nick Singleton is likely just a kickoff return guy right away. Broke his foot at the Senior Bowl, couldn’t test, hasn’t improved since his freshman year, and got outplayed by Kaytron Allen. Renner has him in the F tier. But he’s still only 21 — there’s a development case if you want to buy it. — Renner
- Levitan is higher on Singleton than the market. Doesn’t want to hold the bad 2024 season against him because the entire Penn State team was atrocious. 102 career catches. Used on kickoff returns. The broken foot killed his ability to test and boost his draft stock. — Levitan
- Incumbents are going to be safer this year. With only two backs in Renner’s top four tiers, the usual pattern of rookies taking over after the bye is way less likely in 2026. Factor that into early drafts. — Levitan
- Kaytron Allen is Renner’s RB3 but likely won’t excite anyone. D tier. Opted out of all testing — probably because he’d run a 4.71. But he averaged 6.2 YPC, amassed 1,300 yards last season, and scored 15 TDs. Runs the way you need to run in the NFL. Kyle Juszczyk/Samaje Perine-type value if he lands right. — Renner/Levitan
