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.   PART 1 RB RANKINGS: ⁠https://youtu.be/EGe_9RdCa1Y⁠   Subscribe to the audio feed and leave a 5-star review!   SharpStack Discount: ⁠https://4for4.com/mayo⁠ Get 25% off the Rabbit Hole at ⁠https://betspertsgolf.com/⁠mayo with code “MAYO” Use code “MAYO” at underdog and make a $5 Pick’em entry and instantly get $50 in your account Get a Deposit BONUS Coolbet: ⁠https://shorturl.at/CHfyW⁠   Subscribe, Rate and Review the PME Apple: ⁠http://bit.ly/PMEiTunes⁠ Spotify: ⁠https://goo.gl/VboemH⁠   FOLLOW MAYO MEDIA NETWORK   Newsletter: ⁠https://mayomedia.substack.com/⁠ Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/mayomedianetwork/⁠ TIK TOK: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/discover/mayo-media-network⁠ YOUTUBE: ⁠https://bit.ly/YTMMN⁠   Ian’s 2026 Fantasy Football Rankings & Content at Rotowire.
