League Winning RB Trade Targets for Fantasy Football 2026
By Joe Orrico | @JoeOrrico | @NoExpertFS
Let me be direct with you.
Outside of Jeremiyah Love and maybe Jadarian Price the next wave of stud dynasty running backs is probably not coming from rookie drafts.
That's the reality heading into 2026. If you want to win your league, the path runs through the trade market. Right now, there are proven, high upside running backs sitting on rosters at prices that won't last. The managers who move first are the ones who win.
These are my six league winning RB trade targets for 2026.

1. Chase Brown : The Most Undervalued RB in Fantasy Football
Chase Brown with a healthy Joe Burrow is a top six running back. Full stop.
In six games with Burrow last season, Brown averaged 21.4 PPR fantasy points per game a RB9 average weekly finish . The only running backs who averaged more fantasy points per game? McCaffrey. Robinson. Taylor. Gibbs.
That's the list. Four players. And Chase Brown is right behind them.
He's not being priced like it. That's the opportunity. A fully healthy Burrow-Brown backfield is one of the most dangerous fantasy combinations in football, and the market hasn't fully priced in what happens when both guys are on the field for 17 weeks.
Buy him at an Early 1st and don't look back.

• 2026: Early 1st
