Having fast RBs in Madden 26 will often become the difference between victory and defeat, and playing with the quickest ones will make a significant difference.
Once again, EA Sports has divided the position into HBs and FBs. However, the list of 10 fastest names is all HBs (no surprise, as it was the same trend last year). Let’s take a look at how the fresh list looks in this year’s game and who the fastest RBs (or HBs in this context) are.
10 quickest RBs in Madden 26
The table below is a combined list of the 10 fastest RBs (HBs) in Madden 26. To prepare the list, I have gone with the classic SPD attribute, but also added the AGI attribute. Having a combination of high speed and agility is amazing in the current meta of the game (similar to last year).
| Player Name | Overall | Speed | Agility |
|---|---|---|---|
| De’von Achane | 83 | 96 | 91 |
| Jahmyr Gibbs | 95 | 95 | 93 |
| Bayshul Tuten | 75 | 95 | 90 |
| Saquon Barkley | 99 | 95 | 95 |
| Keaton Mitchell | 74 | 94 | 82 |
| Kenneth Walker III | 88 | 94 | 92 |
| Velus Jones Jr. | 69 | 94 | 80 |
| Chase Brown | 81 | 93 | 86 |
| Isiah Pacheco | 83 | 93 | 86 |
| Breece Hall | 84 | 93 | 90 |
Just like last year, De’von Achane is the quickest RB in this year’s game. His 96 SPD is well balanced by his 83 OVR rating, and he can be an excellent pick in Franchise mode. The best name on the list, however, lies at 4th.
Saquon Barkley has received a 99 OVR rating, which is fitting to say the least. He is equally fast and agile in the field, with 95 ratings in both departments. There are a few lower-rated athletes on this list, but Jahmyr Gibbs is another notable name. He has excellent in-game stats, rounded up by his 95 overall rating.
While there are some FBs with respectable speeds and agility, none of them are good enough to make it to the table above. If you’re managing a squad in Franchise mode that has weaknesses in the RB position, maybe signing a couple of names from the table above could be worth your time. If you’re looking for quick QBs instead, there’s a superstar you can play with.
