Jahmyr Gibbs leads The Sporting News’ 2026 Week 3 fantasy running back rankings, ahead of Derrick Henry and Jonathan Taylor. Jonah Coleman’s upside depends on his ankle and Denver’s injured backs; Tank Bigsby’s depends on Saquon Barkley’s stinger.
Bijan Robinson, James Cook, Kenneth Walker III, D’Andre Swift, Ashton Jeanty, Kyren Williams and Breece Hall fill spots 4–10. Coleman turned 13 touches into 14.8 PPR points with a touchdown in Week 2, but did not practice Wednesday while dealing with an ankle injury; Denver’s J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey have hamstring issues. Bigsby had 13 carries for 33 yards and a touchdown, plus two catches, after Barkley left Week 2 with a stinger. The article says Bigsby could get most of Philadelphia’s running-back work if Barkley cannot play against Chicago.
The article names Cam Skattebo a bust candidate after his rushing output fell from 81 yards on 18 carries in Week 1 to 36 yards on 12 carries in Week 2. It also cites Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart’s significant knee injury, which could keep him out for an extended period and reduce the offense’s efficiency. Jadarian Price is another bust risk after leaving Seattle’s Week 2 game with a shoulder injury; coach Mike Macdonald said it did not appear serious. If Price is out or limited, Emanuel Wilson and George Holani could split the work.
