  "account": "The 2026 NFL season is upon us, and fantasy football enthusiasts are in search of the best running backs (RBs) for PPR (Points Per Reception) leagues. Here are the top 100 RB rankings to consider for your drafts.\n\nThe first two players to secure in most drafts are Bijan Robinson and Christian McCaffrey, due to their incredible abilities. However, as running backs are prone to injuries, you may have to settle for other players.\n\nJeremiyah Love, from the Cardinals, has the potential to become a top fantasy producer if he recovers from his high-ankle sprain. Similarly, Ashton Jeanty from the Raiders has a lower ankle sprain, but his Week 1 availability is uncertain.\n\nZach Charbonnet from the Seahawks played well last year but tore his ACL in the playoffs.

They may share the workload, but Brooks has a chance to prove his worth if he stays injury-free.\n\nKeaton Mitchell from the Chargers is an explosive play waiting to happen, and his ADP is rising. Chargers' offensive coordinator, Mike McDaniel, is great at scheming for explosive players. Mitchell could be a flex option, but his health is essential.\n\nLastly, Marshawn Lloyd from the Packers has battled injuries in his first two NFL seasons. With Josh Jacobs in the lineup, Lloyd's potential to soar in year three makes him a late-round risk for fantasy footballers.",
