Adam, Dave, and Jamey welcome Jake Ciely of The Athletic to reveal the running backs poised for a major fantasy football breakout in 2026. The guys start with Omarion Hampton and Ashton Jeanty (4:24), two second-year RBs with plenty of hype and the talent to become fantasy stars. Jamey highlights Kenneth Walker III (9:34) in a high-powered Chiefs offense, while Jake makes the case for Cam Skattebo (12:32) and his massive upside if he can stay healthy. The show wraps up with later-round RB targets Bhayshul Tuten & Jonathon Brooks (26:20), both of whom are looking to establish themselves as lead backs with league-winning potential.
