Happy 2026! The new year calls for a new set of fantasy football draft rankings. As you know, there is no such thing as an offseason in fantasy football, and it’s never too early to start hatching a plan to dominate the next season.
I always love putting together the year’s first set of rankings. It means welcoming back injured players. It means thinking about what free agency might mean for players who could be on the move, and the players who could have bigger roles when the free agents move on.
These rankings are just a starting point, of course. In a couple of weeks I’ll add rookies, and I’ll continue to tweak rankings throughout the winter, spring and summer.
Feedback is always welcome. If you disagree with anything, or if you like/dislike some of these guys as much as I do, hit me up on Twitter @Fitz_FF.
Enjoy!
