The Biggest Running Back Traps in 2026 Fantasy Football (Ep. 2078)

Joe Pisapia is joined by Pat Fitzmaurice and Jake Ciely to break down the RBs they're hesitant to draft at current ADP. Is Ashton Jeanty being pushed too high? Has James Cook become overpriced? Should fantasy managers trust Breece Hall, De'Von Achane, Quinshon Judkins, or Aaron Jones this season?

The crew also debates the Steelers' backfield between Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle before wrapping up with a rapid-fire sleeper segment featuring Tyrone Tracy Jr., Jonathan Brooks, Dylan Sampson, Keaton Mitchell, Tank Bigsby, and more.

Whether you're drafting in redraft, best ball, dynasty, or Scott Fish Bowl, this episode will help you avoid costly mistakes and identify which RBs carry more risk than reward.
