2026 Fantasy Football RB Rankings: Tiers, Sleepers, Busts & Dead Zone Strategy: Part 2

⁠Pat Mayo⁠ is joined by Jake Ciely (The Athletic) and Ian Hartitz (RotoWire) to wrap up their 2026 fantasy football running back rankings!

In Part 2, the guys dive deep into the highly contested mid-round "dead zone" running backs, debate their favorite late-round sleepers, and call out the players carrying major risk. They breakdown why they are fading "Bad Vibes" Bucky Irving, whether Bhayshul Tuten (aka King Tuten) has a top-10 ceiling, and how to value backfield splits in Seattle, Carolina, Pittsburgh, and Washington.
