Summary
Heath Cummings is joined by Dave Kluge to break down the state of the running back position in dynasty, starting with an early look at values, tiers, and long-term outlooks. After catching up, Heath hits Dave with three key questions on Jeremiyah Love’s dynasty value, the 2026 RB class, and which veterans still have hope (2:10). The guys dive into Heath’s Top 12—including Jahmyr Gibbs, Bijan Robinson, Christian McCaffrey, and Breece Hall— contender appeal, and where their rankings differ (9:25). From RBs 13-24, disagreements get stronger as they discuss free-agent uncertainty, and which backs could gain or lose starting jobs (17:29). Heath and Dave put veteran producers like Derrick Henry and Tony Pollard on a contender confidence scale for 2026 (28:35). They close by evaluating young upside swings (35:50), naming their favorite sleepers, and answering chat questions to help you gain an early offseason edge (48:20)

| 0:09.0 | I am your host, Heath Cummings. |
| 0:11.7 | Joined today by a former friend of the program, |
| 0:14.3 | a current friend of the program. |
| 0:15.9 | Dave Klugey Dave, thank you for being here. |
| 0:18.5 | Tell everybody where they can find your work |
| 0:20.3 | and what you've been working on. |
| 0:21.7 | Yeah, real easy. Everything is over at football guys.com. That's where I've got shows, |
| 0:25.0 | articles, rankings, all of that good stuff. But the big thing that we just rolled out here is version |
| 0:30.0 | one of our rookie guide. We've got 157 players in version one. Scouting reports, player comps, |
| 0:36.5 | stats, strengths, weaknesses, ideal team fits, |
| 0:39.7 | everything you could possibly imagine there. |
| 0:41.3 | We'll do an update after the combine next week where we'll be able to add all that information, |

| 1:00.6 | You guys are extremely thorough. |
| 1:02.5 | And I think it's good because there are going to be so many takes about so many players. |
| 1:08.2 | And my generally, like the best way to do it, I think is consume as much as you can. Like, yeah, there's, you're going to have certain guys that are kind of your favorites that you trust maybe a little bit more. But I want to hear as many different viewpoints as possible. Because as we've seen over the years, even the guys with the most information in NFL teams don't always, or maybe even often, make the right choice. |
| 1:32.1 | And so if you want to make the right choice in your rookie draft, you want to have as much information as possible. |
