Fantasy Football Player Notes
2026 Draft Rankings
|
1.
Jahmyr Gibbs
RB - DET (at GB)
Last year, Jahmyr Gibbs finished as the RB3 in fantasy points per game. After Week 10, his usage got a massive bump as he didn't play less than 68% of the snaps in any game for the rest of the season while averaging 20 touches and 114.9 total yards pre game. This stretch of games from Weeks 11-18 also coincided with Sam LaPorta's absence, which increased Gibbs' passing game usage. In Weeks 1-10, Gibbs had a 12.7% target share, 25.2 receiving yards per game, and an 11.1% first-read share (per Fantasy Points Data). In Weeks 11-18, Gibbs saw a huge increase in work through the air without LaPorta, with a 19% target share, 48.6 receiving yards per game, and a 19.6% first-read share. Gibbs led all running backs in those statistical categories in the final eight games of the season. Gibbs is in the running for RB1 overall for 2026, but if the rest of the weapons for Detroit remain healthy all season, it could be tough for him to do so. I still expect him to be a top-three back this season who is insanely efficient with his passing game and early down work. Last year, he ranked ninth in explosive run rate and third in missed tackles forced per attempt. Gibbs will and should be a top 3-5 pick in every fantasy draft this year.

2.
Ja'Marr Chase
WR - CIN (vs . CLE)
Ja'Marr Chase remains firmly atop the conversation for the overall WR1 in fantasy football after another dominant season in 2025. The Bengals superstar commanded over a 30% target share while averaging 88.3 receiving yards per game and ranking among the league leaders in red-zone usage. Attached to a healthy Joe Burrow, Chase continues to combine elite volume, explosive playmaking, and touchdown upside in one of the NFL's premier passing offenses. Barring injury, he offers one of the safest and highest ceilings at the position entering 2026.

3.
Bijan Robinson
RB - ATL (at CAR)
Last year, Bijan Robinson was the RB2 in fantasy points per game. For most of the season, he was pacing towards a 1,000-yard season for rushing and receiving before tailing off at the end of the season (820 receiving yards). Robinson was also crushed by the heavy usage of Tyler Allgeier near the goalline. Allgeier finished with eight rushing touchdowns, while Robinson had only 11 total touchdowns. Robinson had a pitiful 49.3% red zone rushing share (per Fantasy Points Data). With Allgeier and the previous coaching staff gone, Robinson should enjoy more usage near paydirt in 2026. Robinson was incredibly efficient with his workload last season, which is a reflection of his insane talent. He finished top-three among running backs (minimum 100 carries, 20 targets) in receiving yards per game, target share, yards per route run, first downs per route run, missed tackles forced per attempt, and yards after contact per attempt. Robinson is my favorite bet to be the RB1 overall in 2026.

4.
Puka Nacua
WR - LAR (vs . SEA)
Puka Nacua further cemented himself as one of the NFL's premier receivers in 2025, finishing as fantasy football's overall WR1 after averaging more than 107 receiving yards per game. The Rams star dominated targets and efficiency alike, leading all wide receivers in yards per route run while setting career-high counting stats across the board. Even with Davante Adams siphoning red-zone opportunities, Nacua still delivered elite touchdown production and week-winning consistency. At just 25 years old in pursuit of a new contract, Nacua belongs firmly in the conversation for the WR1 overall again in 2026 (injuries and off-field issues aside).
|
|
5.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba
WR - SEA (at LAR)
Jaxon Smith-Njigba fully arrived in 2025, finishing as the WR2 overall after leading the NFL in target share and nearly carrying the entire Seahawks passing attack. The 24-year-old posted elite efficiency metrics alongside massive volume, turning 163 targets into nearly 1,800 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns. Seattle rewarded JSN with a massive extension after his monster campaign, cementing him as the franchise's centerpiece offensively. Although the loss of OC Klint Kubiak and added target competition from Rashid Shaheed could slightly reduce his outrageous usage, Smith-Njigba still projects as one of fantasy football's elite WR1 options entering 2026.
|
|
6.
Amon-Ra St. Brown
WR - DET (at GB)
Amon-Ra St. Brown continued his remarkable consistency in 2025, finishing as a top-3 fantasy WR for the third straight season. The Lions star once again dominated high-value usage, leading the NFL in red-zone targets. Even with Detroit transitioning to a new offensive coordinator in 2026, St. Brown's elite target share and reliable weekly production give him one of the safest floor/ceiling combos at the position. Expect another top-5 fantasy finish from the Sun God.
|
|
7.
Jonathan Taylor
RB - IND (vs . JAC)
Jonathan Taylor was the RB4 in fantasy points per game last year, but his season was a tale of two halves. With Daniel Jones (Weeks 1-13), he was the RB2 in fantasy points per game, averaging 21.7 touches and 132.1 total yards. After Jones was out of the lineup (Achilles), Taylor was the RB22 in fantasy points per game with 21.6 touches and 75.4 total yards per game. Last year, among 49 qualifying backs, Taylor was 17th in explosive run rate, 28th in missed tackle rate, and 13th in yards after contact per attempt. Jones is set to return this season, but the big question for Taylor and the Indy offense is how effective he'll be in 2026 coming off the Achilles injury. Taylor should see plenty of volume this season to return top 15-20 production in fantasy, but if you're drafting him with an RB1 price tag, it's fair to wonder if he can be a top three back this season, with his quarterback's play in question. Last year, Taylor was first in snap share, second in opportunity share, fourth in weighted opportunity, and second in red zone touches. I have more questions about his 2026 outlook than most, but he's still a solid pick in 2026, even with the questions about Jones.

8.
CeeDee Lamb
WR - DAL (at WAS)
CeeDee Lamb took a step back in 2025, as injuries and the arrival of George Pickens cut into both his target dominance and touchdown production. Lamb finished as the WR15 on a per-game basis, averaging 76.9 receiving yards per game, but his weekly ceiling wasn't nearly as consistent alongside Pickens. Still, Lamb remains one of fantasy football's safest WR1 options attached to Dak Prescott, especially considering his elite production from 2023-2024. Even after a relatively disappointing season by his standards, the combination of talent, volume, and offensive environment keeps Lamb firmly in the top tier of fantasy receivers.
|
|
9.
James Cook III
RB - BUF (vs . NYJ)
James Cook led the NFL in rushing yards in 2025 (1,621). He finished as the RB6 in PPG and RB6 in total points scored. At 26 years old, the Bills RB is in his Uber Prime. He is improving every single season. And he has yet to be fully unlocked as a receiver despite being heavily touted as a pass-catcher coming out of Georgia. If Cook gets unleashed on all three downs under a new HC, he could flirt with an RB1 overall status as the engine to the Bills' offense. The 200-pound back has a 44-catch and 445 receiving yards season on his resume, which only Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, Christian McCaffery, and De'Von Achane hit last season with 1,000 rushing yards to boot.
|
|
10.
Christian McCaffrey
RB - SF (at ARI)
Christian McCaffery led the NFL in touches in 2025 with 450. As I cited heading into last year regarding Saquon Barkley, chasing these RBs the year after they post monster touch totals is not a good bet to make. Barkley finished 2025 as the RB13. In the last 13 years, only one of those RBs was a top-5 fantasy RB the next year. after seeing 400-plus touches. One. Fade CMC in 2026.

|
11.
Justin Jefferson
WR - MIN (vs . CHI)
Justin Jefferson's disappointing 2025 season was far more about quarterback dysfunction than any decline in talent. Even during a "down year," Jefferson still commanded an elite target share, while poor QB play and brutal touchdown luck tanked his fantasy production. The arrival of Kyler Murray gives Minnesota's superstar receiver a massive opportunity to rebound into the elite WR1 tier, where he has spent his entire career. Fantasy managers should treat Jefferson as a prime bounce-back candidate and one of the best values among first-round receivers in 2026 drafts.
|
|
12.
A.J. Brown
WR - NE (vs . MIA)
A.J. Brown remains one of the NFL's premier alpha receivers despite a frustrating 2025 season in Philadelphia (WR11 PPG). After being traded to New England, Brown should immediately command massive volume and reclaim high-end WR1 upside, with an ascending quarterback in Drake Maye. Even in a down year, Brown still posted elite target share numbers and remained highly productive on a per-game basis. With him on a pass-heavy offense that is willing to feature him as the focal point, a major fantasy bounce-back and WR1 szn is LOADING for AJB.
|
|
13.
Nico Collins
WR - HOU (vs . TEN)
Nico Collins continued his run as Houston's unquestioned WR1 in 2025, posting his third 1,000-yard season in the last four years while finishing as a top-10 fantasy receiver once again. Despite battling injuries, Collins remained highly efficient and continued to dominate targets and red-zone usage in the Texans offense (positive red-zone TD regression candidate). Interestingly, his production actually improved without C.J. Stroud under center, though a bounce-back season from the young QB would elevate Collins' ceiling even further. At worst, Collins profiles as a reliable fantasy WR1/WR2 hybrid with one of the strongest WR efficiency profiles in the NFL.

|
14.
Derrick Henry
RB - BAL (vs . PIT)
Last year was another impressive year for Derrick Henry. He didn't show any signs of slowing down with 307 rushing attempts, 1.595 rushing yards, 16 total touchdowns, and an RB8 finish in fantasy points per game. Last year, among 49 qualifying backs, Henry ranked 16th in yards after contact per attempt and seventh in explosive run rate (per Fantasy Points Data). Henry won't contribute much in the passing game, but that's a given at this point. It doesn't crush his overall production, but it isn't there to help add to his weekly floor. Henry had five games last year as RB25 or lower in weekly fantasy scoring. I still want to invest in Henry as an RB1 again in 2026. If Lamar Jackson can bounce back, Henry could inch back closer to his 2024 production (RB4 in fantasy points per game). He's at worst a low-end RB1 with top-five upside.
|
|
15.
Drake London
WR - ATL (at CAR)
Drake London was in the middle of a top-3 finish through 9 games before injuries cut short his 2025 season, finishing top-10 in fantasy points per game while dominating targets in Atlanta's offense. The Falcons' WR1 posted elite production alongside Michael Penix Jr., and there's little threat to his massive target share entering 2026. Even if Atlanta opens the year with Tua Tagovailoa under center while Penix recovers, London's role as the focal point of the passing attack should remain unchanged. With volume, talent, and red-zone usage all working in his favor, London profiles as a top-tier fantasy WR1 once again.
|
|
16.
Brock Bowers
TE - LV (at KC)
Toss Brock Bowers' 2025 season in the trash. All of it. In the trash. He sustained a PCL injury in Week 1 that he attempted to play through all year. He eventually landed on season-ending IR before Week 17 after gutting through 12 games last season. Despite playing on one leg for the entire season, Bowers still ranked 13th in yards per route run and first downs per route run last season (per Fantasy Points Data). To understand Bowers' 2026 upside and talent, we need to rewind to 2024 when he was the TE3 in fantasy points per game. During that season, he was seventh in target per route run rate, sixth in yards per route run, third in receiving yards per game, second in first read share, and seventh in first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). 2026 Brock Bowers could be 2025 Trey McBride and be the runaway TE1 for fantasy, with little target competition existing on the Raiders' depth chart to challenge him.
|
|
17.
Saquon Barkley
RB - PHI (at NYG)
I tried to tell people last year, but few wanted to listen. After an insane 2024 season, Saquon Barkley was poised to come back down to earth some in 2025. Well, it happened. Barkley finished with 317 touches and 1,413 total yards as the RB14 in fantasy points per game. Part of this could be traced to natural regression, but also, Barkley had a decent dip in efficiency. In 2024, Barkley had an insane 3.55 yards before contact per attempt, which easily led all running backs (minimum 100 carries, per Fantasy Points Data). Last year, that number fell to 2.11, which was 23rd among 49 qualifying backs, essentially a league-average number. From 2024 to 2025, Barkley's explosive run rate dropped from 7.2% (fourth-best) to 4.6% (20th), and his yards after contact per attempt dipped from 2.26 (35th) to 1.96 (39th). Barkley lived off explosive runs and easily getting into the second level of defenses in 2024, but he found more uphill sledding last year. His volume should finish in the neighborhood of 300 touches with double-digit touchdown upside. That should lock him into top-15 running back status with possible top 5-7 upside if the offensive line can stay healthy and the Eagles' passing attack can also bounce back. If the aerial attack can get right, this team and Barkley will have more scoring opportunities in 2026 (last year, 28th in red-zone scoring opportunities per game).

18.
Ashton Jeanty
RB - LV (at KC)
Ashton Jeanty will be seen as a disappointment for fantasy managers exiting his rookie season. It wasn't a failure, but you can make the argument that, because of his talent and the hype, it didn't live up to lofty expectations. Jeanty was the RB15 in fantasy points per game, finishing with 321 touches and 1,321 total yards. He ranked fifth in snap share, first in opportunity share, seventh in weighted opportunities, and 15th in red zone touches. Among 49 qualifying backs, Jeanty ranked 16th in missed tackle rate and 17th in yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). The ecosystem surrounding Jeanty stunk. The Raiders were 31st in red zone scoring attempts per game and 30th in yards per play. Among those 49 qualifying backs previously, Jeanty had the second-fewest yards before contact per attempt (1.28), and 65% of his rushing yards came after first contact. With Klint Kubiak in town, Fernando Mendoza or Kirk Cousins at the helm, a healthy Brock Bowers, and improved blocking up front, Jeanty could be poised to post a strong RB1 season in his second season.
|
|
19.
George Pickens
WR - DAL (at WAS)
George Pickens delivered a true breakout in 2025, finishing as a top-6 fantasy WR despite sharing targets with CeeDee Lamb in Dallas. The big-play specialist thrived on efficiency and touchdown production, averaging 84.1 receiving yards per game with nine scores while consistently delivering spike-week upside. Pickens proved capable of producing WR1 numbers even alongside a healthy Lamb, although his high-variance play style makes weekly volatility part of the package. If he avoids a contract-related holdout and maintains his chemistry with Dak Prescott, Pickens should remain a low-end fantasy WR1 with week-winning upside.
|
|
20.
Chase Brown
RB - CIN (vs . CLE)
The Bengals RB finished the year on an absolute heater, and that was despite ceding touches/snaps to Samaje Perine. After a slow start in a Joe Burrow-less offense, Chase Brown finished as the RB7 in PPG from Week 7 onward (18.3).
Once Burrow returned to the lineup, Brown's production spiked, as he averaged an impressive 20.6 Half-PPR points per game and ranked as the RB3 across Weeks 13-17. He rushed for over 1,000 yards and finished 5th among RBs with 69 catches for 437 yards. Through the last two years, Brown has averaged just shy of 1,000 rushing yards and nearly 1,400 yards from scrimmage. Entering the final year of his rookie contract, the former 5th-round draft pick will be looking to finish 2026 on his highest note to date. |
|
21.
Trey McBride
TE - ARI (vs . SF)
Trey McBride was a league-winning pick last year as the TE1 in fantasy points per game (the closest tight end was 3.9 fantasy points per game behind McBride). He was a volume monster in what was a pass-happy Arizona offense. With Jacoby Brissett under center (Weeks 6-18) last year, Arizona was first in neutral passing rate and second in snaps while trailing by seven or more points (per Fantasy Points Data). The Cardinals were throwing a ton while playing catch-up weekly. McBride ran 156 more routes last year than any other tight end. This fact and McBride's talent fueled plenty of fantasy teams to championships last season. Among 59 qualifying tight ends, McBride was first in target share (25.4%), receiving yards per game (72.9), red zone targets (32), and first-read share (33.8%). Among the same sample size of tight ends, McBride was also tenth in yards per route run and 15th in first downs per route run. Arizona will likely be trailing in many games this season again, so we should expect Arizona to be chucking the ball again. In Mike LaFleur's two seasons with the Jets as offensive coordinator, he ranked ninth and fourth in negative script passing rate. McBride could repeat this season as the TE1 overall.

|
22.
Kenneth Walker III
RB - KC (vs . LV)
Kenneth Walker arrives in Kansas City as the Chiefs' new lead back. Walker had a disappointing season in 2025 from a fantasy standpoint as the RB28 in fantasy points per game, but it's easy to see why it unfolded that way. Walker had to split the passing game usage with Zach Charbonnet, and he was shown the cold shoulder by Seattle in the red zone. Last year, Walker had a 31.9% route share versus Charbonnet's 34.7% route share (per Fantasy Points Data). In the games that Charbonnet was active, Walker saw only 34.8% of the running back red zone rushing work (30 red zone carries versus Charbonnet's 51). With a lucrative contract signed and delivered for Walker, I don't see him missing out on the high usage boat in 2026. Talent isn't the problem for Walker; it was just the way that Seattle deployed him. Last year, Walker ranked second in explosive run rate, first in missed tackle rate, ninth in yards per route run, and 12th in first downs per route run. He was a per-touch efficiency marvel. I don't foresee him being a true bellcow with Kansas City, and I don't want that because he has dealt with injury issues in the past. With his salivating mix of talent and efficiency, Walker should be an explosive RB1 in 2026.
|
|
23.
Josh Allen
QB - BUF (vs . NYJ)
Josh Allen has been the QB1 in fantasy points per game in four of the last six seasons, and he's primed to finish atop the mountain again in 2026. The rushing floor and red zone equity remain as Allen has had at least 12 rushing scores and 524 rushing yards in each of the last three seasons. Last year, Allen was third in carries per game and first in red zone carries per game amongst quarterbacks. As a passer, he was still excellent last season. Among 45 qualifying quarterbacks, he was fifth in yards per attempt, third in highly accurate throw rate, and fourth in catchable target rate (per Fantasy Points Data). Allen is a wonderful pick in fantasy drafts again this season.
|
|
24.
Omarion Hampton
RB - LAC (at DEN)
Omarion Hampton finished his rookie season as RB16 in PPG in 9 games played, but he suffered from a tough situation. The Chargers were gutted by injuries on their offensive line and to their starting QB. The rookie RB dealt with own injuries as well. But Hampton flashed enough upside to be worth buying into as a fantasy RB1 behind a healthy OL in 2026 with Mike McDaniel stepping in as the Chargers new offensive coordinator. He played four games with a 79% plus snap share, averaging 17.5 PPG. The former UNC product received bell-cow level usage, averaging 17.3 touches per game (tied for top-12 at the position). Also played four games with five or more catches (7th in receptions per game at 3.6). PFF ranked him as the 8th-best graded rusher, finishing 11th in yards after contact per attempt (3.34).
|
|
25.
Chris Olave
WR - NO (vs . TB)
Chris Olave finally delivered the WR1 fantasy season managers had been waiting for, finishing as a top-10 WR after commanding elite volume in Kellen Moore's fast-paced offense. The Saints wideout took his game to another level late in the year once Tyler Shough settled in at quarterback, finishing the fantasy playoffs as one of the highest-scoring receivers in football. Olave's target dominance and downfield role give him a very strong weekly floor, especially with rookie Jordyn Tyson sidelined to start the season. Even if some touchdown regression hits, Olave remains a reliable WR1/WR2 option attached to one of the NFL's more aggressive passing attacks.
|
|
26.
De'Von Achane
RB - MIA (at NE)
Last season, De'Von Achnae was the RB5 in fantasy points per game while racking up 305 touches and 1,838 total yards. After a dip in 2024, he returned to being an otherworldly back in terms of efficiency. Among 49 qualifying backs, Achane was first in explosive run rate, 13th in missed tackle rate, and sixth in yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). He was also a key cog in the passing game, ranking second among backs in target share (18.7%), 12th in yards per route run, and fourth in receiving yards. He was fifth in targets among backs with 85. That number is sure to drop this season with Malik Willis in Miami. I don't think he'll be a zero in the passing game, especially considering the receiving depth chart for Miami, but Willis's rushing ability will lead to fewer checkdowns for Achane in 2026. Achane should still be considered an insanely talented RB1 that could lead the NFL in rushing yards this season, but if his receiving work takes a hit, he'll probably lack top 3-5 upside at the position.
|
|
27.
Malik Nabers
WR - NYG (vs . PHI)
Malik Nabers remains an elite talent, but his 2026 outlook is heavily tied to recovery from a complicated ACL injury that wiped out nearly all of his sophomore season. Before going down, Nabers was producing like a fantasy WR1 in the Giants' offense. The concern isn't ability - it's availability, especially after requiring a second procedure during rehab. Nabers still offers league-winning upside once fully healthy, but fantasy managers should build in the expectation of missed time and a slower early-season ramp-up. However Nabers seems more than likely to be available for Week 1 after avoiding the PUP list while participating at the start of the Giants' training camp.
|
|
28.
Rashee Rice
WR - KC (vs . LV)
Rashee Rice has a super-high ceiling given how much he was targeted in the red zone this past season (a ton of screen passes). Rice finished top-5 among WRs in PPG during his truncated season. 7th overall in red-zone targets in just 8 games played. Given that his draft price might be slightly reduced due to his off-field issues and the injured QB...Rice could easily be a league winner after it was announced in early April that he would not face discipline from the NFL.
|
|
29.
Lamar Jackson
QB - BAL (vs . PIT)
Yes, I'm lower than consensus with Lamar Jackson this season, but I fully acknowledge his upside. Prior to 2025, in his previous six seasons, he logged three inside as the QB3 or higher in fantasy points per game (QB3, QB1, QB1), but last season's production was frightening. Last season, in Weeks 9-18, he was the QB20 in fantasy points per game. During that stretch, among 34 qualifying quarterbacks, he ranked 33rd in highly accurate throw rate, 26th in catchable target rate, and 31st in hero throw rate (per Fantasy Points Data). Jackson is also coming off a career-worst 26.8 rushing yards per game with the second-lowest yards per carry of his career. Can we chalk a lot of that up to his injuries last year? Yes, possibly, but even if he bounces back in this department, the question is how much. Jackson will be operating behind a reworked offensive line with a new offensive playcaller and with a questionable receiving depth chart behind Zay Flowers and Mark Andrews. Could everything gel this season and he be the QB1 in fantasy points per game again? Yep, that's possible, but where he's being drafted is baking in that as a near certainty when it's not. I won't discourage anyone for taking the swing on Jackson in any draft, but I won't be in 2026 unless he slips quite far past his current ADP.
|
|
30.
Zay Flowers
WR - BAL (vs . PIT)
There's a world where Zay Flowers has the talent to be a top-5 fantasy WR if he can ever score TDs. Over 1,200 yards. 86 catches and 5 TDs (WR7) in 2025. WR3 over the last five games. 4+ catches in 13 of his 17 games: a testament to his reliable floor and consistent involvement. 5th in target share (28%). 11th in air yards share (35%). 4th in yards per route run behind Puka Nacua, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Luther Burden.
|
|
31.
Kyren Williams
RB - LAR (vs . SEA)
Kyren Williams continues to motor along with RB1 seasons. Last year, he was the RB10 in fantasy points per game after seasons as the RB10 and RB2 in fantasy points per game. Williams had to deal with more work for Blake Corum last year, but he still retained his lead role overall and in the red zone. In Weeks 7-18, Williams still saw 63% of the red zone rushing attempts while Corum helped him with the heavy lifting on early downs in between the 20s. With the workload lightened a tad, Williams did post improved rushing efficiency metrics, ranking 21st in explosive run rate, 25th in missed tackle rate, and 18th in yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). Williams should remain the lead back for one of the NFL's best offenses in 2026 and turn in another low-end RB1 season.
|
|
32.
Tee Higgins
WR - CIN (vs . CLE)
Tee Higgins continues to thrive as Cincinnati's high-end No. 2 option, finishing as the WR12 overall in 2025 thanks to strong efficiency and double-digit touchdown production. Even with a modest target share, Higgins maximizes his opportunities in one of the NFL's premier passing offenses led by Joe Burrow. His weekly ceiling remains extremely high, especially near the end zone, although Ja'Marr Chase's presence naturally caps Higgins' overall target volume. As long as he stays healthy, Higgins profiles once again as a reliable fantasy WR2 with league-winning upside if Chase ever misses time.
|
|
33.
DeVonta Smith
WR - PHI (at NYG)
DeVonta Smith enters 2026 positioned to lead the Eagles in targets with A.J. Brown no longer in Philadelphia. The former first-round pick has consistently flashed WR1 upside whenever Brown or Dallas Goedert have missed time, while quietly delivering his third 1,000-yard season in 2025. Smith was extremely efficient last season, posting career highs in yards per route run (3.1) and yards per target (11.9) when aligned out wide. Even with rookie Makai Lemon added to the mix, Smith profiles as the clear focal point of the Eagles' passing attack with top-12 fantasy upside.
|
|
34.
Drake Maye
QB - NE (vs . MIA)
Drake Maye had a wonderful breakout season last year as the QB3 in fantasy points per game, and he could equal or surpass that this season. This offseason, New England gave Maye new weapons that could take this offense to another level with the additions of Romeo Doubs and A.J. Brown. The Pats were ninth in neutral passing rate last season and could bump that up some more with Doubs and Brown in town. I'm painting the fever dream outcome for Maye, but none of this is impossible or even improbable. Maye will continue to add fantasy points weekly with his legs on top of the passing upside. Last year, Maye was 12th in rushing yards per game and seventh in red zone carries per game among quarterbacks. As a passer, he was outstanding, ranking first in yards per attempt, seventh in highly accurate throw rate, eighth in hero throw rate, and fourth in fantasy points per dropback (per Fantasy Points Data). Maye should be considered a strong top-five fantasy quarterback option with the ability to push Josh Allen for the QB1 spot if everything goes his way in 2026.
|
|
35.
Javonte Williams
RB - DAL (at WAS)
Last year, Javonte Williams was a massive surprise in fantasy, to everyone, including me. I was very bullish about his 2025 outlook, but I was hoping at best for a volume-driven RB2 residing in an explosive offense. Well, Williams crushed even my expectations as the RB11 in fantasy points per game, finishing with a career high 1,201 rushing yards and 13 total touchdowns. Among 49 qualifying backs, he ranked 16th in explosive run rate and third in yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). His season was also a tale of two halves as he faded some down the back half of the year. In Weeks 1-8, he averaged 18.5 touches, 90.7 total yards, and scored nine total touchdowns as the RB8 in fantasy points per game. In Weeks 9-17, he averaged 17.4 touches, 76.5 total yards, and scored only four total touchdowns as the RB25 in fantasy points per game. Much of his fantasy stock drop was related to the fall in touchdown production, which can be simple variance. His deeper analytics back up that his play didn't fall off on a per-touch efficency standpoint. In Weeks 1-8, he had a 4.8% explosive run rate with an 11% missed tackle rate and 3.52 yards after contact per attempt. That yards after contact per attempt mark is otherworldly. In Weeks 8-17, he posted a 5.5% explosive run rate with a 13% missed tackle rate and 2.33 yards after contact per attempt. He improved his marks down the stretch in two of those three categories. If Williams can post production as he did over the first half of the 2025 season for an entire year, he is a locked-in top ten back with top-five upside. At his floor, he looks like a low-end RB1 or top 15 fantasy back.

Josh Jacobs
RB - GB (vs . DET)
Weeks 1-10: Jacobs was the RB5 in PPG (18.1) with 11 rushing TDs. Then he suffered a knee injury in Week 11. Once he returned in Week 13, he was clearly not himself. RB23 in PPG (10.5). 12 PPG (RB21) from Week 7 onward after hurting his calf. Ended the season as RB11 in PPG (14.3).
The Packers RB fell just shy of 1,000 rushing yards despite 254 carries, taking a step back in his second season with Green Bay. If healthy, Jacobs has a top-5 fantasy ceiling. But as the 28-year-old continues to pile up volume and small injuries (currently dealing with an injury that is forcing him to miss practices and a potential suspension), fantasy managers should be wary of the production tapering off. |

37.
Tetairoa McMillan
WR - CAR (vs . ATL)
Tetairoa McMillan wasted no time establishing himself as Carolina's clear-cut WR1, winning Offensive Rookie of the Year after nearly topping 1,100 receiving yards on 126 targets. The rookie standout commanded elite volume immediately, finishing with a 23% target share and massive 41% air yards share despite operating in a run-heavy offense. McMillan consistently delivered as Bryce Young's go-to option and flashed massive upside whenever the Panthers leaned into the passing game. After such a polished rookie campaign, T-Mac looks poised to make the jump into the fantasy WR1 conversation entering Year 2.

38.
Emeka Egbuka
WR - TB (at NO)
Emeka Egbuka's rookie season was a rollercoaster, but the underlying usage points toward a major Year 2 breakout in Tampa Bay. The former Ohio State standout earned elite target volume for a rookie and looked like a future star early in the season before injuries and shifting usage slowed his momentum late in the year (top-10 WR from Weeks 1-11). With Mike Evans gone, Egbuka is positioned for a much larger role in Zac Robinson's offense. He is one of the more appealing second-year breakout WR candidates in fantasy football. But the breakout might be delayed if he's held back by his recently suffered toe sprain.

39.
Colston Loveland
TE - CHI (at MIN)
Colston Loveland finished the regular season top-5 among TEs in PFF receiving grade and yards per route run (1.97). From Week 7 onward...the Bears TE ranked top-5 in targets, catches and yards (26% target rate and TE4 in PPG at 11.1). Only Trey McBride had more receiving yards per game (61/game) compared to the Bears' TE.
The former Michigan product went NUCLEAR in the first round of the playoffs: Loveland recorded 8 receptions for 137 yards on 15 targets against the Packers, with the majority of his production coming when he created separation. Loveland generated 111 yards on 6 receptions (10 targets) when wide open (3+ yards of separation), while adding 94 yards on 4 receptions (6 targets) on vertical routes. The rookie tight end particularly excelled against zone coverage, where he hauled in all 8 of his receptions for 137 yards on 13 targets via Next Gen Stats. Cole Kmet also has an out in his contract, so the team could move on from him to shift MORE focus toward Loveland. The Bears' offense did so over the team's last four games when Loveland commanded a whopping 28.5% target share (nearly 12 targets per game). |

40.
Breece Hall
RB - NYJ (at BUF)
Breece Hall had a tough time last year despite finishing as the RB20 in fantasy points per game. New York's quarterback play was dreadful, and the offense overall was a mess, which led to them ranking 29th in points per game and red zone scoring opportunities per game. The good news is that despite those factors, he ran behind an offensive line that ranked seventh in adjusted yards before contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). New York's offensive line remains largely intact while adding Dylan Parham to the mix to replace the often-injured and departed Alijah Vera-Tucker, so they could easily be a top-shelf unit in 2026. The Jets also added Geno Smith, Omar Cooper Jr., and Kenyan Sadiq to the mix, which will raise the ceiling and floor of the overall offensive environment. This is all great news for a back that was also fourth in explosive run rate and tenth in missed tackle rate last year. Hall should enjoy more scoring opportunities this season and hopefully a bounce back in the receiving department while finishing with a career-low 10.9% target share last season. Hall should be considered a top-shelf RB2 with RB1 upside.

41.
Joe Burrow
QB - CIN (vs . CLE)
Once Joe Burrow returned to the huddle last year, he was the same stud quarterback that we have come to love in fantasy as the QB5 in fantasy points per game. During that stretch (Weeks 13-18), Burrow was 11th in CPOE, third in passing yards per game, second in highly accurate throw rate, and fourth in hero throw rate (per Fantasy Points Data). With Burrow back under center, Cincy was fourth in neutral passing rate and seventh in neutral pace. I expect the Bengals to be a fast-paced, pass-happy offense again in 2026. Burrow is a rock-solid QB1 with top-3 upside with two stud wide receivers to lean on weekly.

42.
Ladd McConkey
WR - LAC (at DEN)
Don't hold the OL injuries against the Chargers' skill players. Ladd McConkey specifically. The Chargers' WR failed to live up to his expectations from his rookie season, as Keenan Allen's presence capped his target/production ceiling. The 33-year-old WR LED the Chargers in targets under OC Greg Roman (hyper-targeted on third downs). But with Roman replaced by Mike McDaniel, we should expect McConkey to finish closer to his rookie season, when he averaged 2.6 YPRR. McDaniel knows how to deploy his WRs to achieve peak efficiency both for real-life and fantasy purposes.

43.
Jaylen Waddle
WR - DEN (vs . LAC)
Jaylen Waddle's 2025 season looked disappointing on the surface, but Miami's run-heavy approach masked another highly efficient campaign from the former first-round pick (13th in yards per route run). Now in Denver after a blockbuster trade, Waddle steps into a pass-heavy offense where he projects as the featured receiver. His explosiveness and efficiency have consistently kept him on the WR1 fringe despite frequent nagging injuries and inconsistent volume in Miami alongside Tyreek Hill. But if Bo Nix and the Broncos offense continue ascending, 2026 could finally be the season Waddle delivers a true top-tier fantasy breakout.

44.
Jeremiyah Love
RB - ARI (vs . SF)
Well, it happened. Jeremiyah Love went top five in the NFL Draft to the Arizona Cardinals, who already have Tyler Allgeier and James Conner on the depth chart. With that type of draft capital investment, I think Love will be Arizona's lead back in 2026, but he could have his workload eaten into by Allgeier and/or Conner. Love's talent isn't in question. Over the last two years in college, he ranked inside the top 15 backs in each season in yards after contact per attempt, breakaway rate, and elusive rating (per PFF). He's also a stellar pass catcher, as evidenced by sitting at 17th in yards per route run among FBS backs last year and drawing a 10.9% target share. The Cards look like one of the worst teams in the NFL, with concerning quarterback play. The cluttered backfield and worrisome scoring environment could hinder Love in 2026, keeping him as a strong RB2, but locking him out of RB1 status. If he does get the lion's share of the work, and their grouping of quarterbacks can produce something close to league-average passing production, Love could be a top-12 back. I'll remain lower than consensus on Love now that he has a high ankle sprain clouding his Week 1 availability and early-season effectiveness.

45.
Davante Adams
WR - LAR (vs . SEA)
The early ECR is pricing Davante Adams as a mid-WR2. Last year was actually a red flag season disguised as an elite one; he posted a career-low catch rate of 53%, his YAC per reception hit a career low, and the bulk of his production was TD-dependent with 15 scores. That kind of touchdown volume is notoriously hard to replicate year over year. Even though Matthew Stafford is back under center in LA, he may not force-feed Adams in the end zone as he did in 2025 en route to an MVP award (7.7% TD rate). On top of that, Adams turns 33 and dealt with a lower-body tissue injury in 2025 that cost him time; at his age, that's not something you just brush off. When you look at the totality: the age, the injury, the TD regression risk, the declining efficiency numbers: easy to see a player far more likely to fall off than to replicate 2025

46.
Jameson Williams
WR - DET (at GB)
Jameson Williams finally delivered on his first-round pedigree in 2025, topping 1,000 receiving yards and finishing as a fantasy WR1 after a massive second-half surge. Much of that breakout coincided with Dan Campbell taking over play-calling duties and Sam LaPorta missing time, as Williams' production dipped noticeably when the Lions tight end was active. The explosive upside remains obvious, but Williams still operated with just a 17% target share and carried one of the highest bust rates among top-20 fantasy WRs. With a new offensive coordinator and returning target competition entering 2026, Williams projects as a high-variance WR capable of week-winning performances, accompanied by super frustrating lows. He does deserve a bump in the rankings after the latest injury to LaPorta.

Terry McLaurin
WR - WAS (vs . DAL)
Terry McLaurin's 2025 season was a perfect storm of bad luck, injuries stemming from his holdout, and brutal touchdown regression after his massive 2024. Even in a disappointing campaign, McLaurin remained highly efficient career high in YPPR). With the Commanders entering 2026 near the top of the league in vacated targets and air yards, McLaurin is positioned for a major bounce-back as the No. 1 WR if he and Jayden Daniels stay healthy. Entering his age-31 season, the veteran still profiles as one of fantasy football's better value picks after what increasingly looks like an outlier season.
|

48.
Travis Etienne Jr.
RB - NO (vs . TB)
Travis Etienne excelled last year as the Jags RB1 with an RB13 finish in fantasy points per game. After a down 2024 season, it was nice to see the new Saints' lead back bounce back. He lands with New Orleans after a season where he was 11th in snap share, 13th in opportunity share, tenth in weighted opportunities, and fifth in red zone touches. Etienne soaked up 296 touches, producing 1,399 total yards. He's set to see a similar workload in 2026 with the Saints. Etienne was disappointing on a per-touch basis, ranking 37th in explosive run rate, 31st in missed tackle rate, and 34th in yards after contact per attempt. Those metrics are worrisome, but Etienne should see enough volume that it won't matter this season. He's a solid RB2 that could outkick that projection if the Saints' offense takes a leap forward and surprises this year.

49.
Garrett Wilson
WR - NYJ (at BUF)
Garrett Wilson's injury-shortened 2025 masked what looked like a target monster season before he got hurt. The Jets star commanded an elite 30% target share early in the season despite subpar quarterback play, reinforcing his status as one of the league's top target earners. With Geno Smith now under center and improved offensive line play in New York, Wilson is set up for a bounce-back campaign. Even with added target competition in the form of two first-round rookies, Wilson projects as the clear centerpiece of the Jets passing attack and an underrated fantasy WR1 candidate in 2026.

50.
Jayden Daniels
QB - WAS (vs . DAL)
Jayden Daniels' 2025 season was crushed by injuries. Daniels dealt with a knee sprain, a right hamstring injury, a dislocated elbow, and an elbow sprain. For a player who entered the NFL with questions about his size and injury risk, it wasn't what anyone wanted to see. Daniels still managed to flash the upside in his four full games played last year to remind people why they fell in love with him in the first place. In those four games, Daniels averaged 20.2 fantasy points per game, nine rushing attempts, and 44 yards on the ground. If he had kept up that pace all season, he would have been the QB7 in fantasy points per game and averaged the second-most rushing yards per game among quarterbacks. With all of the injuries he sustained last year, his stats are a muddied mess that are better off tossed in the trash, but for the sake of doing my due diligence among 45 qualifying quarterbacks, he ranked 42nd in highly accurate throw rate, 38th in catchable target rate, and 25th in hero throw rate (per Fantasy Points Data). Daniels has plenty of questions that he'll have to answer in 2026. Can he hold up for an entire season? Was his rookie season just a flash in the pan? I'm willing to draft Daniels again in 2026 despite all of these questions because of his rushing ability and the brief flash in 2025 of his rookie talent.

51.
Christian Watson
WR - GB (vs . DET)
Christian Watson returned to the lineup in Week 8 after tearing his ACL late into the 2024 season. Despite coming off a brutal injury, he supplanted Romeo Doubs as the WR1 in the Packers' offense. Watson was the WR17 in PPG (11.5) to go with a 34% air yard share (over 1,000 air yards). Hit career highs in yards and yards per route run. Never saw fewer than four targets in any contest. With Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks gone, Green Bay enters 2026 with a surplus of vacated targets, representing a substantial opportunity opening that Watson is well-positioned to absorb if he can stay on the field.

52.
D'Andre Swift
RB - CHI (at MIN)
D'Andre Swift arguably had a career year last season for the Bears as the RB16 in fantasy points per game. He finished with 257 touches and 1,386 total yards while splitting work with Kyle Monangai. Monangai's presence didn't hurt Swift a ton as he was the RB20 in fantasy points per game after Monangai's emergence in Week 9. During Weeks 10-18, Swift remained the preferred passing down back for Chicago with a 43% route share (Monangai 28.8%, per Fantasy Points Data), but he split up the red zone work with Monangai, with 18 red zone rushing attempts to Monangai's 19. This is worrisome, but not something to freak out about in today's NFL, where most teams are utilizing some form of committee approach. It was nice to see Swift's efficiency numbers bounce back after a horrible 2024 season. Last year, he ranked 13th in explosive run rate, 11th in rushing success rate, and 20th in missed tackle rate. Swift should be a mid-range RB2 again this season.

53.
Quinshon Judkins
RB - CLE (at CIN)
Quinshon Judkins had off-the-field and contract issues last year, entering his rookie season, which caused him to miss training camp and not start the season until Week 2. Once he was on the field, he was Cleveland's workhorse back until suffering an ankle and fibula fracture in Week 16. In Weeks 2-15, he was the RB26 in fantasy points per game (RB22 in expected fantasy points per game), averaging 18.7 touches and 72.8 total yards. I wasn't high on Judkins as a prospect, as his per-touch efficiency in college wasn't amazing. He didn't debunk that trend in his rookie season, either. Among 49 qualifying backs, he ranked 40th in explosive run rate, 33rd in missed tackle rate, and 26th in yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). In his defense, Judkins' offensive line didn't do him any favors last season. Among those 49 backs, Judkins had the fifth-highest mark of yards after first contact, with 62.2% of his rushing yards coming after first contact, and he had the fourth-fewest yards before contact per attempt, with only Cam Skattebo, Ashton Jeanty, and Zach Charbonnet seeing less runway with the ball in their hands. With a rebuilt offensive line to run behind in 2026, hopefully better quarterback play in front of him (fingers crossed), and more scoring opportunities, Judkins could return RB2 production this season.

54.
Rome Odunze
WR - CHI (at MIN)
Rome Odunze's second season was a tale of two halves, as injuries and poor catchable targets derailed what started as a breakout campaign. Before Week 9, he ranked top-10 in WR fantasy points per game while dominating high-value usage, leading the Bears in targets, red-zone looks, and air yards share. The concerns are real with Colston Loveland and Luther Burden taking larger roles in Year 2 but Chicago also lost significant WR volume and touchdown production entering 2026 with the departure of DJ Moore. Odunze remains a strong positive regression candidate tied to Caleb Williams, especially if the Bears' passing game takes another step forward under HC Ben Johnson.

55.
Cam Skattebo
RB - NYG (vs . PHI)
The human battering ram known as Cam Skattebo made waves in his rookie season before being sidelined by a horrible ankle/fibula fracture that also ruptured his deltoid ligament in Week 8 of last season. In Weeks 2-7 as the Giants' workhorse, Skattebo averaged 19.5 touches and 96.3 total yards as the RB8 in fantasy points per game. I won't be surprised if Skattebo's per-touch efficiency is impacted for at least part of his 2026 season, if not the entire year, as he works his way back from last year's injury. If he's good to go, he could be the Giants' leading ball carrier this season. Last season, he was stellar with his touches, ranking fourth in missed tackle rate and yards after contact per attempt, 11th in target per route run rate, eighth in yards per route run, and second in first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). With his preseason usage calling his workhorse status into question, Skattebo should be viewed as an RB2 on worrisome ground. The signing of Najee Harris doesn't help his outlook either.
|

56.
David Montgomery
RB - HOU (vs . TEN)
David Montgomery now finds himself as the Texans' do it all workhorse for 2026. Last year, he was phased out of the Lions' offensive plans as the season moved along, which led to his RB32 finish in fantasy points per game. In Weeks 12-18, he was the RB43 in fantasy points per game with a 32.1% snap rate, 8.2 touches per game, and only 42.8 total yards per game. Montgomery still has the juice to produce as a workhorse this season. Last season, he ranked 30th in missed tackle rate, but he was 12th in yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). His receiving chops are also still alive and well, as he was also 22nd in yards per route run and 12th in first downs per route run. Many will worry that Montgomery will split Houston's backfield workload with Woody Marks this season, but I don't see that happening. Montgomery should absorb a workload close to what Joe Mixon saw in 2024. In 2024, Mixon ranked fifth in opportunity share, 14th in snap share, and 13th in carries among running backs, finishing with 281 touches. Last season, Montgomery bested Marks in explosive run rate, missed tackle rate, rushing success rate, yards after contact per attempt, and yards per route run. Legit, every per-touch metric that I care about. Montgomery is the superior back, even at this stage of his career, and he'll be a strong volume-driven RB2 that could flirt with RB1 production.

57.
Jalen Hurts
QB - PHI (at NYG)
Last year, the Eagles offense hit a rut, and Jalen Hurts finished with his worst season (QB8) in fantasy points per game since becoming the full-time starter in 2021. While Hurts was still heavily involved on the ground near the goal line (fourth in rushing touchdowns and second in red zone carries), he also finished with the second-fewest rushing yards per game (26.3) of his career. There are big-time questions about whether Hurts can bounce back this season after the struggles of last season, the loss of A.J. Brown, and the Eagles transitioning to another new offensive coordinator who could emphasize utilizing the middle of the field. Last year, among 45 qualifying passers, Hurts ranked 20th in yards per attempt, 18th in CPOE, 25th in highly accurate throw rate, and 15th in hero throw rate (per Fantasy Points Data). I'll be surprised if his rushing numbers don't rebound. The Eagles still have plenty of receiving talent in-house with DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert, and with their offseason additions of Makai Lemon, Eli Stowers, Dontayvion Wicks, and Hollywood Brown. I'm not shying away from buying the dip with Hurts despite the worries. Hurts has proven doubters wrong time and time again while improving as a player and passer along the way, going all the way back to college. Hurts still has top 3-5 upside in fantasy.

58.
Bucky Irving
RB - TB (at NO)
Bucky Irving had a sophomore season to forget. He was limited to 10 games because of injury - and he was wildly inefficient. He posted the 4th-lowest rushing success rate, finishing third-worst in YPC (3.4). The second-year RB scored one rushing TD in 2025.
Even with Rachaad White all but gone in free agency, Todd Bowles' other favorite RB, Sean Tucker, might continue to rear his ugly head again near the goal line in 2026. Not to mention, Kenneth Gainwell will also be vying for targets after signing with TB in free agency. Irving probably wasn't the same guy returning from injury as the first four weeks of the season; he was extremely productive, averaging 15.6 PPG. But after his return, he just had 10.2 PPG playing in a broken Bucs' offense. |
|
59.
Luther Burden III
WR - CHI (at MIN)
Luther Burden is shaping up as one of the biggest second-year breakout candidates in fantasy football after flashing elite efficiency late in his rookie season. The Bears wideout thrived in Ben Johnson's scheme, ranking near the top of the NFL in yards per route run while showcasing dynamic YAC ability and forced missed tackles. With DJ Moore gone, Burden has a legitimate path to leading Chicago in receiving production, especially as the coaching staff continues to emphasize getting him the ball in space. The upside is massive in Year 2, although target competition from Rome Odunze and Colston Loveland could create some weekly volatility (along with a groin injury that is set to sideline Burden for a month leading up to the season).
|
|
60.
Mike Evans
WR - SF (at ARI)
Mike Evans enters his first season with San Francisco with more risk than ever before, but the touchdown upside remains extremely enticing. Injuries limited Evans in 2025, though he still commanded strong target volume whenever healthy and continued to draw top defensive attention. The veteran receiver now joins a 49ers offense that should create immediate red-zone opportunities, especially with George Kittle recovering from an Achilles injury. Evans may not offer elite weekly consistency, but his size and scoring ability make him a strong bet for double-digit touchdowns if the 33-year-old can stay on the field.
|
|
61.
DJ Moore
WR - BUF (vs . NYJ)
DJ Moore lands in Buffalo in arguably the best situation of his career after years of producing despite inconsistent quarterback play and shifting offensive environments. The veteran receiver reunites with Joe Brady, under whom he previously handled massive volume in Carolina, and now gets the benefit of catching passes from Josh Allen. Moore should immediately operate as one of Buffalo's primary receiving weapons, even if the Bills continue spreading targets around offensively. Given his long track record of WR2 production and the offensive upgrade surrounding him, Moore profiles as a strong value in 2026.
|
|
62.
Tyler Warren
TE - IND (vs . JAC)
Tyler Warren had a fantastic rookie season as the TE10 in fantasy points per game, but there was plenty of meat left on the bone that should have fantasy gamers excited going into 2026. Warren was the TE4 in expected fantasy points per game last year. Let's begin the convo there. He should naturally see some regression this season. Warren also ranked fifth in red zone targets and eighth in end zone targets last year among tight ends, and he only had four receiving touchdowns to show for it. Warren was excellent last year on a per-route basis. Among 59 qualifying tight ends, he was sixth in target share, ninth in receiving yards per game, 18th in yards per route run and first downs per route run, and sixth in first-read-read share (per Fantasy Points Data). The addition of Keenan Allen to this Colts' depth chart does lower the absolute ceiling for Tyler Warren somewhat, as Allen isn't dust and he could play the Michael Pittman Jr. role for the Colts in 2026. Warren is a top-five tight end this season, but his week-to-week volatility increased somewhat with the addition of Keenan Allen.
|
|
63.
Tucker Kraft
TE - GB (vs . DET)
Tucker Kraft ranked as the TE1 through 8 weeks (14 PPG). TE2 in PPG. He led all TEs in YAC/reception. Kraft was a 'my guy' the last two seasons, and all he did was deliver before he tore his ACL. But I wouldn't completely write off the 25-year-old freak athlete after the season-ending injury. Recall that Packers WR Christian Watson came back in 2025 after a very late ACL injury. He received an All-Pro vote. With no complications in Kraft's surgery, a 2026 Week 1 return is firmly in play. Just keep in mind that the team is going to be mindful with Kraft as the season progresses. Per Kraft: "They're [Green Bay] going to take into account my rep range probably until halfway through the season, and then they're going to just pat me on the ass and send me out there and send me to the wolves."

64.
Bhayshul Tuten
RB - JAC (at IND)
With Travis Etienne gone, Bhayshul Tuten will compete with Chris Rodriguez to be the lead back for the Jaguars in 2026. I want to bet on Tuten this year and his talent. Last year, Tuten was unfortunately robbed of the stretch run of his rookie season as he was sidelined by a finger injury. Before the injury, he was starting to make some noise. This could be the big breakout season for Tuten, who, on a per-touch basis, flashed the immense talent that I really liked when he was in college. Last season, among 55 qualifying backs, he ranked fifth in rushing success rate, 11th in missed tackle rate, and 17th in yards after contact per attempt. Rodriguez will remain a worry for Tuten at the goal line and to his overall touch count until we see his role fleshed out this season, but if he can be the clear lead guy, he has the talent to match Etienne's RB13 finish last year in fantasy points per game.
|
|
65.
TreVeyon Henderson
RB - NE (vs . MIA)
TreVeyon Henderson finished his rookie season as the RB24 in fantasy points per game, but it wasn't nearly that productive for fantasy managers when you look at the full breakdown of how it unfolded. In Weeks 10-11, Rhamondre Stevenson wasn't active, and Henderson feasted with 60.3 combined PPR points, which accounted for 29.2% of his overall fantasy production for the season. If you take those two monster games out of the equation, Henderson would have averaged 9.8 PPR points per game, which would have made him the RB33 in fantasy points per game. Without Stevenson in the lineup in Weeks 9-11, Henderson averaged 19 touches and 110 total yards. With Stevenson active, Henderson had 11.2 touches and 57.2 total yards per game. This isn't to shade Henderson, but I'm trying to give context to his rookie season that will be overlooked at first glance. I don't know how Henderson overtakes Stevenson in 2026 if both of these players continue to post per-touch efficiency metrics like they did last season. Last year, Henderson was bested by Stevenson in every metric that I care about, namely explosive run rate, missed tackle rate, yards after contact per attempt, yards per route run, and pass protection stats. Among 49 qualifying backs, Henderson ranked 12th in explosive run rate, but he was also 32nd in missed tackle rate and 42nd in yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). Henderson could eat into Stevenson's workload more in 2026 if he can take another step and payoff as an RB2, but he 's best viewed as an upside RB3.

Jadarian Price
RB - SEA (at LAR)
Jadarian Price was selected in the first round of the NFL Draft by the Seahawks to be their new Kenneth Walker (and maybe more). Walker led the backfield last year for Seattle, but they limited his usage in the red zone and in the passing game. Price remains an unknown in the passing game after only 13 targets over the last two collegiate seasons at Notre Dame, but he could easily surpass Walker's red zone usage in 2205. It's unknown when we'll see Zach Charbonnet back to 100%, and outside of him, Price is competing with Emanuel Wilson and George Holani for work. Price is a wonderful rushing talent ranking 25th and fifth in yards after contact per attempt, 31st and 3rd in breakaway rate, and 15th and 39th in elusive rating over the last two seasons in college (per PFF). Price is an intriguing RB2 with a ton of upside in 2026.

67.
Caleb Williams
QB - CHI (at MIN)
Caleb Williams is poised to take another step forward in his second season with Ben Johnson. Chicago is littered with young talent at the skill positions. He is a dual-threat QB who already finished 2025 as the QB7 in PPG (19.1). Top-10 in fantasy QB1 finisher rate (50%). And that was despite him ranking dead last in completion rate over expectation (-7.4%). Another step forward could easily vault the former first overall pick into the fantasy top 5 among QBs.

68.
Justin Herbert
QB - LAC (at DEN)
Justin Herbert finished the 2025 season as the QB10 in PPG, mostly on the back of his rushing production (6th in rushing yards per game at 31.1). Career highs in rushing yards and carries. Tied Josh Allen with the most boom finishes (4). But the losses on the offensive line crushed his ceiling, along with his own injuries. With a healthier and revamped OL in 2026, Herbert can flirt with elite fantasy QB status. Five games with Joe Alt in 2025: Hebert averaged nearly 24 PPG (23.9). 12 games without Alt? 16.2 PPG.

69.
Parker Washington
WR - JAC (at IND)
Parker Washington flashed legitimate breakout potential late in 2025, thriving as Jacksonville's primary slot weapon once injuries opened up additional opportunity in the offense. The former Penn State receiver was extremely productive down the stretch (over 14 PPG from Weeks 9-18), dominating air yards and target share while showcasing strong efficiency metrics. However, his second-half surge also coincided with Travis Hunter's injury absence, and the Jaguars now enter 2026 with a much healthier and deeper WR room. Washington proved he can capitalize on expanded volume, but his weekly role could become far less stable if Jacksonville deploys him primarily in three-WR sets.

Marvin Harrison Jr.
WR - ARI (vs . SF)
Marvin Harrison Jr.'s second season was derailed by a brutal string of injuries, but the underlying indicators still point toward a potential Year 3 breakout. Even through the missed time, Harrison continued to command high-value usage near the end zone and showed improvement in several key efficiency metrics. From Weeks 1-13, Harrison was the WR27 in PPG. In his last five healthy games...12.8 PPG - low-end fantasy WR1 numbers. Michael Wilson's stark on-off splits highlighted just how important MHJ remained when healthy to the Cardinals passing game. With Mike LaFleur now running the offense and a likely emphasis on moving Harrison around the formation more creatively, the former top-five pick remains a prime post-hype breakout candidate.

Brian Thomas Jr.
WR - JAC (at IND)
Brian Thomas Jr.'s sophomore season was a major disappointment after the lofty expectations created by his explosive rookie campaign. Injuries constantly interrupted his momentum, while Jacksonville's offense increasingly funneled targets toward players like Jakobi Meyers, Parker Washington, and Brenton Strange. The talent that made BTJ a breakout star still exists, but his connection with Trevor Lawrence never consistently clicked in Liam Coen's system. Until Jacksonville proves willing to feature him more prominently again, Thomas profiles as more of a volatile upside WR3/4 than the ascending alpha many expected entering 2025.

Trevor Lawrence
QB - JAC (at IND)
Last year, Trevor Lawrence finally had the breakout season that everyone had been waiting for as the QB6 in fantasy points per game. It was the first season in which he had eclipsed 18 fantasy points per game. Yes, part of this magical season included nine rushing touchdowns, which is probably not a sustainable mark to expect him to repeat in 2026, but he was fifth in red zone carries per game among quarterbacks, so maybe there is some carryover in his rushing touchdown production to this season. Lawrence really caught fire to close last season (Weeks 12-18) as the QB1 in fantasy points per game. During that seven-game stretch, among 30 qualifying quarterbacks, Lawrence was excellent as a passer, ranking third in yards per attempt, fifth in passing yards per game, third in hero throw rate, 11th in catchable target rate, and second in passing touchdowns (per Fantasy Points Data). Lawrence is a locked-in QB1 with tantalizing upside for 2026 with his pass-catching depth chart intact from that stretch run.

73.
Jaylen Warren
RB - PIT (at BAL)
Last season, Jaylen Warren had arguably his most productive season for fantasy purposes as the RB18 in fantasy points per game. He was his usual incredibly efficient self on a per-touch basis. In 2025, Warren ranked sixth in missed tackle rate, ninth in yards after contact per attempt, 12th in rushing success rate, third in yards per route run, and seventh in first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). He set career highs in carries (211), rushing yards (958), and total touchdowns (eight). Kenneth Gainwell moved on from Pittsburgh in the offseason, but Mike McCarthy brought in his favorite son, Rico Dowdle. Warren's role for Pittsburgh has evolved over the years from preferred passing down back to lead back, but his role could be in flux in 2026 with the arrival of a new head coach and backfield mate. Warren could still return RB2 value this season, but there's more risk in his 2026 projection than many will be able to admit.

74.
Carnell Tate
WR - TEN (at HOU)
Carnell Tate lands in an ideal long-term situation after being selected fourth overall by Tennessee, where he has a clear path to becoming the Titans' No. 1 receiver. The former Ohio State standout excelled against man coverage in college and enters an offense led by Brian Daboll alongside ascending second-year quarterback Cam Ward. While veterans like Calvin Ridley and Wan'Dale Robinson should remain involved early, Tate possesses the profile of a future No. 1 receiver with immediate fantasy upside. Historically, top-five WR selections have produced quickly, making Tate one of the most no-brainer rookie wideouts to target in 2026 fantasy drafts.

75.
Dak Prescott
QB - DAL (at WAS)
Last year, Dak Prescott directed an offense that was 13th in neutral passing rate and ninth in neutral pace en route to a QB7 finish (Weeks 1-17) in fantasy points per game. Among 45 qualifying passers, Prescott was tenth in yards per attempt, eighth in highly accurate throw rate, and 13th in hero throw rate (per Fantasy Points Data). With CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, Jake Ferguson, and Javonte Williams all still in the fold, I don't see a reason to expect Dallas or Prescott to slow down this season. Prescott had only a 5% passing touchdown rate last year, so there's still some meat on the bone for Prescott to be even better this season for an offense that was fifth in points per game and red zone scoring attempts per game (16th in red zone touchdown percentage). Prescott is a locked-in QB1 that could be a top-five option if they can put more touchdowns in the end zone in 2026.
|
|
76.
Tony Pollard
RB - TEN (at HOU)
Tony Pollard remains the clear leadback for the Titans entering the 2026 season. Last year, he ranked 15th in snap share, 17th in opportunity share, and 16th in weighted opportunities, but because of the putrid offensive situation he found himself in, he was only the RB29 in fantasy points per game. This can be traced to his five total touchdowns, which were a result of an offense that was 30th in points per game and 32nd in red zone scoring attempts per game, so it makes sense that he also ranked 49th in red zone touches. Pollard was still solid on a per-touch basis. Among 49 qualifying backs, he ranked 25th in explosive run rate and 22nd in yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). Brian Daboll, his new offensive coordinator, has historically ridden one running back in his offenses, and Pollard looks to be that guy this season. Pollard should find running room in 2026 with Carnell Tate and Wan'Dale Robinson added to the passing game, improved play from Cam Ward, and an offensive line that last year was quietly 13th-best in yards before contact per attempt. Pollard will be lingering in the RB3 range in plenty of drafts, but I think he returns strong RB2 value and production this season.

77.
Rhamondre Stevenson
RB - NE (vs . MIA)
Rhamondre Stevenson was the Pats' lead back last year as the RB21 in fantasy points per game, and I don't see that changing in 2026. Stevenson was amazing on a per-touch basis, and he bested TreVeyon Henderson in EVERY discernible metric that I care about. Last year, Stevenson was fifth in explosive run rate, missed tackle rate, and yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). Stevenson also surpassed Henderson in yards per route run (1.41 vs. 0.98) and pass protection. Unless Stevenson falls off in 2026, he should remain the lead back for New England after playing at least 57% of the snaps in nine of his 14 games played in 2025. Stevenson should be a nice value for fantasy managers again this season.

78.
DK Metcalf
WR - PIT (at BAL)
DK Metcalf's first season in Pittsburgh largely reinforced what fantasy managers have seen over the last several years — good, not great, fantasy consistency (WR26 overall and WR24 in PPG). The Steelers receiver once again finished outside the top tier at the position, and now faces even more target competition in a new-look offense entering 2026. His role has increasingly trended toward volatile WR3 territory rather than true fantasy alpha production. With Aaron Rodgers at quarterback and additional mouths to feed, his ceiling appears lower than his reputation might suggest.

|
79.
Sam LaPorta
TE - DET (at GB)
Before his 2025 season was lost to a back injury, Sam LaPorta was the TE7 in fantasy points per game. The back has healed up well over the offseason, but LaPorta is already dealing with a hip injury he sustained in camp, calling his early-season availability and effectiveness into question. That risk has to be weighed when you're on the clock in drafts before we even discuss what LaPorta did during the 2025 season. Ok, now that we got that out of the way, let's discuss last season for Sammy Ballgame. Despite the injury-shortened season, LaPorta was still one of the most explosive tight ends in the NFL on a per-route basis. Among 59 qualifying tight ends, he ranked tenth in target share (17.8%), sixth in receiving yards per game (54.3), fifth in yards per route run (2.14), and eighth in first downs per route run (0.100, per Fantasy Points Data). The concerning thing for LaPorta during those nine games was his six red zone targets and only one end zone target. Considering that light usage near paydirt, it's not shocking that he had only three touchdowns. That is worrisome, but touchdowns can be a fickle game to project year-to-year. Painting a positive light on that usage is the fact that, despite those numbers, LaPorta was still second on the team in not only target share but red zone targets during that stretch. The arrival of Drew Petzing as the offensive coordinator should be viewed as a plus for LaPorta if we are to extract anything from his time in Arizona and his usage of Trey McBride. LaPorta should turn in a strong 2026 season (if healthy) as a top-eight fantasy tight end with top-five upside.

Rico Dowdle
RB - PIT (at BAL)
Rico Dowdle did it again last season. Dowdle fought to get to the top of the Carolina running back depth chart as he wrestled the starting job away from Chuba Hubbard. In Weeks 5-18, Dowdle averaged 18.6 touches and 87.7 total yards as the RB10 in fantasy points per game. Dowdle also excelled last season on the ground and in the receiving game. He ranked 23rd in explosive run rate, 17th in missed tackle rate, tenth in yards after contact per attempt, 17th in yards per route run, and 16th in first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). After that strong season, Dowdle now finds himself reunited with Mike McCarthy in Pittsburgh as a backfield complement to Jaylen Warren. The division of the Steelers' running back workload is up in the air for the 2026 season, but I won't count against Dowdle's ability to rise to the competition for RB1 duties. We'll likely see a committee approach for Pittsburgh this season, but Dowdle could easily return RB2 value if not strong flex value this season.

|
81.
Courtland Sutton
WR - DEN (vs . LAC)
Courtland Sutton's 2025 finish once again outpaced his underlying usage, as strong touchdown production helped propel him into the top-12 overall WRs despite modest efficiency (20th in PPG). Before the Week 12 bye week, Sutton was outside the top-30 WRs in PPG. Denver's passing attack now looks significantly EVEN more crowded after the addition of Jaylen Waddle, and the Broncos enter 2026 with virtually no vacated volume available. Sutton still profiles as an important red-zone target for Bo Nix, but his declining efficiency metrics and growing competition raise concerns about his fantasy ceiling. At age 31, Sutton feels more like a volume-dependent WR3 than a true alpha receiver moving forward.
|
|
82.
J.K. Dobbins
RB - DEN (vs . LAC)
J.K. Dobbins returns to Denver this season as their early down hammer. It's tough to count on him for a full season at this point, but while he's out there, he should be a nice RB2/flex play this season. Last year, Dobbins did see his season cut short with a foot injury. In Weeks 1-10, he was the RB24 in fantasy points per game, averaging 16.4 touches and 80.6 total yards. The bulk of that work was in the rushing department as he averaged only 1.4 targets and 3.7 receiving yards per game. He had only four games in which he saw more than one target, and he never saw more than two targets in any game. Dobbins was on pace for 260 carries and 1,313 rushing yards before his injury, so his value on early downs is quite nice. Among 49 qualifying backs, he ranked third in explosive run rate and eighth in missed tackle rate (per Fantasy Points Data). Dobbins should return RB2/touchdown-dependent flex value this season.
|
|
83.
Blake Corum
RB - LAR (vs . SEA)
Blake Corum is one of the best handcuffs in fantasy. He looked back to his pre-injury form (finally) last year. After all of the injuries he sustained at Michigan, I didn't know if we'd ever see the early collegiate version of Corum again, but he was excellent last year on a per-touch basis. After Week 1, he was a viable touchdown or bust flex as the RB46 in fantasy points per game with four top 24 finishes in weekly scoring among backs. He doesn't offer much in the passing game with only 14 targets and 4.5 yards per reception last year, but he's a damn good rusher on early downs. Among 49 qualifying backs, Corum ranked sixth in explosive run rate and 11th in missed tackle rate (per Fantasy Points Data). He's a fine high-end handcuff stash or later round flier that could be an emergency flex during the season.
|
|
84.
Harold Fannin Jr.
TE - CLE (at CIN)
Harold Fannin Jr. had a banner rookie season as the TE8 in fantasy points per game. Let's see if he can follow it up in year two with Denzel Boston and KC Concepcion competing with him for targets. Last year, among 54 qualifying tight ends, Fannin was fifth in target share (19.4%), 12th in receiving yards per game (45.7), 12th in yards per route run (1.81), fourth in first-read share (22.3%), and 25th in first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). I expect his first-read share to dip some, but he could retain similar per-route metrics outside of that in 2026 if he can hold off Boston and Concepcion while overcoming quarterback concerns in Cleveland. When it's all said and done, Fannin is likely a low-end TE1 in 2026.

85.
Alec Pierce
WR - IND (vs . JAC)
Alec Pierce cashed in after a breakout season, leading the Colts in receiving yards in each of the last two years while continuing to dominate as one of the NFL's premier deep threats. The 26-year-old finished as the WR23 in fantasy points per game in 2025, posting 10 games with at least 65 receiving yards and clearing 1,000 yards for the first time in his career. With Michael Pittman Jr. traded away, Pierce enters 2026 as Indianapolis' top wide receiver, although target competition from Tyler Warren and Josh Downs remains a concern. His fantasy ceiling will largely depend on his own health (still not at training camp) and the effectiveness of Daniel Jones, but Pierce has already shown he can produce splash weeks regardless of quarterback play.
|
|
86.
Quentin Johnston
WR - LAC (at DEN)
Quentin Johnston showed more signs of progress in 2025, posting career-best fantasy production (WR25 PPG) while maintaining his role as a downfield and red-zone weapon in the Chargers' offense. The season was still wildly inconsistent, as Johnston's early breakout faded once Oronde Gadsden became more involved in the passing game. Even so, Johnston remains attached to an ascending offense with Justin Herbert and should maintain a full-time role entering 2026. The upside remains enticing, but after three seasons without a true top-30 finish, fantasy managers should still expect volatility from the former first-round pick.

87.
Kyle Pitts Sr.
TE - ATL (at CAR)
Last year, Kyle Pitts had a tale of two seasons. Yes, overall it was a wonderful year as the TE5 in fantasy points per game and easily his best statistical season since his rookie year, but it was wildly different with Drake London in and out of the lineup. Without London, Pitts had a 26.7% target share with 84.4 receiving yards per game, 2.81 yards per route run, a 27.8% first-read share, 0.120 first downs per route run, and 19 fantasy points per game (per Fantasy Points Data). Those are all elite numbers, and if Pitts had put up those stats all year, especially the fantasy points per game, he would have been the TE1 for fantasy. The problem is that with Drake London active, Pitts had a 19% target share, 42.2 receiving yards per game, 1.43 yards per route run, a 20.2% first-read share, 0.093 first downs per route run, and 9.6 fantasy points per game. All of those per route metrics were still quite strong, but the fantasy points per game mark would have made Pitts the TE20 last year. With Kevin Stefanski in town and a passing attack that boils down to London and Pitts at the top alongside Bijan Robinson, the reality of Pitts' 2026 projection falls somewhere in the middle of all of this. He's a strong TE1 that still has top-five upside if Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix Jr. can give Atlanta at least league-average quarterback play all season.

88.
Jonathon Brooks
RB - CAR (vs . ATL)
Jonathon Brooks is a wonderful wild card pick for 2026 with big-time upside. Brooks has had enough time to recuperate from his second torn ACL that he should enter camp this season and Week 1 fully healthy. Chuba Hubbard lost his starting job to Rico Dowdle last season, and Carolina let him walk in the offseason. Outside of Brooks and Hubbard, Carolina has only Trevor Etienne and A.J. Dillon on the roster, so Carolina is heavily betting on Brooks to return to his collegiate form. Brooks could pull an Uncle Rico from last year and steal Hubbard's starting job in 2026. Just to remind everyone about the talent that Brooks has, in 2024 (his final collegiate season), he ranked 21st in yards after contact per attempt, ninth in elusive rating, and 21st in yards per route run (per PFF). I'll be drafting Brooks a ton this season.
|

89.
Chris Godwin Jr.
WR - TB (at NO)
Chris Godwin's last two seasons have been derailed by injuries, and 2025 raised additional concerns about potential age-related decline entering his age-30 campaign. Even when healthy, Godwin struggled to command high-end volume or efficiency in Tampa Bay's crowded receiving corps. Still, the veteran remains an important part of the Buccaneers offense and flashed signs of life late in the year with a strong Week 17 performance. If fully healthy entering 2026, Godwin could rebound into fantasy relevance, although his ceiling appears much lower than it was during his prime seasons.

90.
Jacory Croskey-Merritt
RB - WAS (vs . DAL)
Last year, Jacory Croskey-Merritt had an up-and-down season as the RB41 in fantasy points per game. Washington didn't trust him as a passing game option, and he was in and out of the starting lineup as the team also leaned on other backs like Chris Rodriguez. In 2025, Croskey-Merritt had four top 24 finishes in weekly scoring while also popping in rushing efficiency metrics. Among 49 qualifying backs, he ranked 26th in explosive run rate, 19th in yards after contact per attempt, seventh in yards per carry on zone runs, and ninth in one rushing success rate (per Fantasy Points Data). Croskey-Merritt is only a dice roll this season as he'll be competing with Rachaad White, Kaytron Allen, and Jerome Ford for the starting job and work in 2026.

91.
George Kittle
TE - SF (at ARI)
George Kittle had a battered and bruised 2025 season with a hamstring injury that cost him seven games, then an ankle injury, and finally an Achilles tear in the postseason. We'll have to see when Kittle is back on the field for the 49ers in 2026 and looking like his usual tackle-breaking self. I'm hopeful that Kittle makes a wonderful recovery and beats the timelines, but I also won't be shocked if San Francisco holds him back by starting him out on the PUP to begin the season and eases him in after that. When Kittle was on the field last year, he didn't show any signs of slowing down. Among 54 qualifying tight ends, he ranked fourth in target share (20%) and yards per route run (2.30), third in receiving yards per game (57.1) and first-read share (24.3%), and second in first downs per route run (0.139, per Fantasy Points Data). Kittle is a nice upside swing at tight end this year. He could be a player that puts fantasy teams over the top down the stretch if he can regain his usual form. If you're drafting Kittle, I'd pair him with another late tight end like Dallas Goedert or Isaiah Likely that could return strong TE1 production at least to open the 2026 season until Kittle is ready to rock.

|
92.
Brock Purdy
QB - SF (at ARI)
If you're not respecting Brock Purdy at this point as a strong QB1, I really don't know what to tell you. Over the last three seasons, he has finished as the QB5, QB10, and QB6 in fantasy points per game. In his four years in the NFL, he has only once finished with a passing touchdown rate lower than 7.0%. Last year, among 38 qualifying quarterbacks, Purdy was sixth in passing yards per game, ninth in yards per attempt, 12th in highly accurate throw rate, and third in fantasy points per dropback (per Fantasy Points Data). Purdy will again be a QB1 that goes far too late in drafts in 2026.
|
|
93.
Jaxson Dart
QB - NYG (vs . PHI)
Jaxson Dart is on the Drake Maye Year 2 path with a proven HC in John Harbaugh.
As a rookie, the dual-threat QB finished 3rd in fantasy points per dropback (0.60). Tied with Maye. 20.7 PPG (40.5 rushing yards per game). An easy candidate to make a massive sophomore leap, especially if Malik Nabers can return to form off his torn ACL injury (with the latest being positive for Nabers' availability for Week 1). |
|
94.
Chuba Hubbard
RB - CAR (vs . ATL)
Chuba Hubbard followed up his big breakout 2024 season with a stinker in 2025. Last year, Chuba Hubbard fell apart as the RB40 in fantasy points per game. Yes, he dealt with a calf injury for part of the season, but he also lost his starting job during the season to Rico Dowdle. Hubbard was arguably the most inefficient running back in the NFL last year. Among 49 qualifying backs, he ranked dead last in missed tackle rate and explosive run rate (zero explosive runs) while also sitting at 47th in yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). If Jonathon Brooks is fully healthy (I think he will be), he could easily be the backfield leader coming out of camp. I'll be avoiding Hubbard in drafts this year, especially with him also dealing with a hamstring injury in camp now.
|
|
95.
Jordan Mason
RB - MIN (vs . CHI)
Jordan Mason is a one-trick pony, but that one trick is quite good. He's a strong early down option for NFL offenses and should continue to serve in the role this season for Minnesota. Last year, he was the RB42 in fantasy points per game while soaking up 158 rushing attempts and producing 758 rushing yards and six total touchdowns. Among 49 qualifying backs, he ranked tenth in explosive run rate, seventh in rushing success rate, ninth in missed tackle rate, and 15th in yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). Aaron Jones will continue to be the passing-down partner for Mason for Minny in 2026. If (or when) Jones misses time, Mason could be a plug-and-play RB2, but he's best viewed as a high-end handcuff/touchdown-dependent flex.
|
|
96.
Kyle Monangai
RB - CHI (at MIN)
Kyle Monangai is a solid RB3/flex option with high-end handcuff appeal for 2026. Last year, in Weeks 10-18, Monangai led D'Andre Swift with 19 red zone rushing attempts compared to Swift's 18 while producing as the RB33 in fantasy points per game. During the same span, Monangai averaged 12.2 touches and 55.8 total yards while having a 28.8% route share (per Fantasy Points Data). Monangai is a serviceable early down hammer for Chicago, ranking 24th in explosive run rate, 21st in rushing success rate, and 20th in yards after contact per attempt. If Swift misses any time, Monangai would be Chicago's lead back and an RB1/2.
|
|
97.
Jordan Addison
WR - MIN (vs . CHI)
Jordan Addison's 2025 fall-off was heavily tied to poor quarterback play and an early-season suspension, leading to the least productive fantasy season of his young career. Still, the former first-round pick flashed upside whenever the Vikings received competent QB play, averaging 77 receiving yards per game with Carson Wentz under center. Addison's downfield role continues to create splash-play potential, but it also makes him more volatile week-to-week. With Kyler Murray now in Minnesota, Addison profiles as a strong bounce-back candidate, although added target competition in the red zone could cap his touchdown upside.
|
|
98.
Bo Nix
QB - DEN (vs . LAC)
Last year, Bo Nix regressed as a passer, and with his overall production, and his still was the QB11 in fantasy points per game. Nix saw his passing touchdown rate fall from 5.1% to 4.1%, and his rushing yards per game dip from 25.3 to 20.9 (16th). Nix still directed a passing offense that was fifth in neutral passing rate and tenth in neutral pace. I don't see either of those figures changing in 2026. With the addition of Jaylen Waddle, Denver could be even more pass-happy this season, too. Among 38 qualifying passers, he was 31st in yards per attempt, 18th in highly accurate throw rate, 19th in hero throw rate, and 22nd in fantasy points per dropback (per Fantasy Points Data). If Nix can bounce back or take another positive step in his career, he could be a top 5-7 quarterback in fantasy in 2026.

99.
Patrick Mahomes II
QB - KC (vs . LV)
Our first report on Patrick Mahomes' return from injury came on January 15th, when he claimed that he is aiming to return for Week 1 with no restrictions. Given his mid-December surgery, Week 1 seems aggressively optimistic (less than 9 months) but realistic based on everything out of Chiefs' camp.
That's really the main question mark regarding Mahomes - when will he return and how effective will he be? Especially with his mobility. Mahomes ran a lot more in 2025 than he has in years past, hitting career-highs across the board (QB2 in PPG). But his passing has dipped in four consecutive seasons. And the injury makes it seem very much less likely we get Mahomes running nearly as much, especially to keep him out of harm's way. Low-end QB1 territory feels right for the Chiefs QB, weighing his early-season performance with a high return in the latter portion of the 2026 season. |
|
100.
Michael Wilson
WR - ARI (vs . SF)
Michael Wilson's 2025 breakout came with massive context attached, as nearly all of his fantasy production occurred when Marvin Harrison Jr. was sidelined. Wilson averaged elite WR1 numbers without MHJ in the lineup, but his role and target rate cratered whenever Arizona's No. 1 receiver was active. The Cardinals are also expected to lean more balanced offensively after investing heavily in the run game during the 2026 NFL Draft with the selection of Jeremiyah Love. Wilson can still provide spike weeks, but expecting last season's counting stats to repeat in a healthier Arizona offense feels overly optimistic.

101.
Dalton Kincaid
TE - BUF (vs . NYJ)
Dalton Kincaid's third season was plagued by more injuries, as he was reportedly playing through another torn PCL (second year in a row). But the Bills TE remained super-efficient despite lackluster usage/playing time (46% route participation and just three games with a greater than 50% snap share). He caught 80% of his passes for 682 yards and a career-high 7 TDs as the TE8 in fantasy PPG (9.6). His 2.7 YPRR led all TEs and ranked third among all receivers. His 27% target rate per route run also ranked first among TEs. If Kincaid can get healthy in 2026, he could leap into elite fantasy TE territory at a fraction of the cost.
|
|
102.
Matthew Stafford
QB - LAR (vs . SEA)
Matthew Stafford had arguably the best season of his NFL career last year, taking down the MVP award. Stafford finished with a career-high passing touchdown rate (7.7%) as the QB4 in fantasy points per game. It was easily his best season since his first year with the Rams, when he was the QB11 in fantasy points per game. It's impossible to project Stafford to have the same pure run out in 2026 that he experienced in 2025, but he could still be a QB1 for fantasy purposes. The argument for Stafford this year is similar to Jared Goff. Stafford will be commanding one of the best offenses in the NFL tied to an outstanding head coach and flanked by a bevy of talented skill players. Stafford won't provide much, if any, rushing output to help elevate his ceiling and floor, though. Last year, among 38 qualifying quarterbacks, Stafford was seventh-best in yards per attempt and fantasy points per dropback, 25th in adjusted completion rate, second in hero throw rate, and 13th in catchable target rate (per Fantasy Points Data). Stafford is a solid bet for fantasy purposes in 2026, but I won't be caught chasing him up the ADP board or overspending for him in drafts.

103.
Jayden Reed
WR - GB (vs . DET)
Jayden Reed's 2025 season was largely lost to injuries, but Green Bay's offseason actions suggest the Packers still believe in his long-term upside. The explosive slot receiver received a lucrative extension while the team moved on from other veteran wideouts, potentially opening the door for a more stable every-down role. Reed's route participation and deployment remain the key questions for fantasy purposes, though his efficiency and playmaking ability have never been in doubt. in the games where Reed played at least 38% of the snaps, he had no fewer than three receptions in any contest during the regular season (8.8 PPG). At his current draft cost, Reed profiles as an appealing post-hype sleeper with room for a major rebound.
|
|
104.
Jared Goff
QB - DET (at GB)
Jared Goff is a wonderful quarterback to take in fantasy yearly. He offers an incredibly high floor with the ceiling to be a low-end QB1 in fantasy. Over the last four years, he has passed for at least 4,438 yards and 29 passing touchdowns yearly, with finishes as the QB13, QB7, QB11, and QB14 in fantasy points per game. Goff won't add anything with his legs (hasn't had more than 99 rushing yards in any season since 2019, but he will pile up the stats through the air. Last year, among 38 qualifying passers, he was sixth in yards per attempt, second in adjusted completion rate, fourth in highly accurate throw rate, and 15th in fantasy points per dropback (per Fantasy Points Data). He's a wonderful pick to pair with an upside QB late in drafts (Tyler Shough or Malik Willis).

Michael Pittman Jr.
WR - PIT (at BAL)
Michael Pittman Jr. quietly remained productive in 2025 despite losing ground to Alec Pierce in the Colts offense and dealing with declining efficiency. Now in Pittsburgh, Pittman projects as a reliable possession receiver who could quickly become Aaron Rodgers' preferred underneath target. His fantasy ceiling may be limited compared to DK Metcalf's splash-play upside, but Pittman's volume and red-zone involvement should keep him firmly in the WR3 mix in a pass-happier offense led by HC MIke McCarthy. If the Steelers lean heavily on quick-game concepts, Pittman could easily lead the team in receptions/targets.

RJ Harvey
RB - DEN (vs . LAC)
R.J. Harvey's rookie season was a tale of two seasons centered around J.K. Dobbins being in the lineup and out of it. In Weeks 1-10, Harvey was the RB29 in fantasy points per game, averaging 29.1% of the snaps played with 7.5 touches and 38.9 total yards per game. In Weeks 11-18, with Dobbins out, he was the RB13 in fantasy points per game with 16.8 touches and 72.5 total yards per game while averaging 60.7% of the snaps played. With Dobbins back and Denver drafting Jonah Coleman, Harvey's role is up in the air. He could easily fall back into last year's early-season role as passing down partner with Dobbins, or this backfield could get messy with all three backs playing and the production getting divided up. Harvey was awesome overall last season as a receiving option, but he struggled on early downs. As a pass catcher, he ranked sixth in target per route run rate and first downs per route run and tenth in yards per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). As a rusher, among 49 qualifying backs, he was 21st in missed tackle rate but 42nd in explosive run rate and 44th in yards after contact per attempt. Harvey is a decent selection in fantasy drafts this season, but in 2026, I won't go out of my way to get him on all my teams like last year.

Travis Kelce
TE - KC (vs . LV)
At this point in his career, we know what to expect out of Travis Kelce. He's a low-end TE1, and that's fine, but I don't see a path for him returning to top 3-5 status for 2026. Over the last two years, he has been the TE9 and TE7 in fantasy points per game. Yes, the Chiefs will remain a pass-first offense, but it's fair to question when we'll see Patrick Mahomes play in 2026 and what version of him will be under center. Mahomes is coming off a torn ACL, and that cast of pass-catching characters at his disposal didn't change a ton this offseason, which isn't great. Travis Kelce's per-route efficiency screams that he's on the back nine of his career. Last year, among 59 qualifying tight ends, Kelce was 19th in yards per route run, 18th in yards after the catch per reception, and 16th in first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Those aren't damning numbers, but they aren't anything more than solid and just illuminate the point again that Kelce doesn't have the juice to put up elite per-route metrics anymore to vault him back into the top 3-5 conversation. Kelce will likely post another solid season as a low-end TE1 in 2026.

Makai Lemon
WR - PHI (at NYG)
Makai Lemon enters the NFL with elite collegiate production and first-round draft capital after the Eagles aggressively traded up to secure the former USC standout. Lemon offers inside-outside versatility and was one of the most efficient perimeter receivers in college football despite being viewed by some as slot-only. The biggest obstacle to immediate fantasy relevance is target competition in Philadelphia, where DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert already command significant volume. Still, Lemon's talent and long-term upside make him an intriguing bench stash and rookie breakout candidate if the Eagles improve their passing attack under new OC Sean Mannion (McVay/Shanahan-type offense).

109.
Rachaad White
RB - WAS (vs . DAL)
Over the last two seasons, with Bucky Irving in town, Rachaad White was a more effective per-touch player, but with Irving out of the lineup last year, he proved again that he can carry the mail (although while being horribly inefficient). Last season, in Weeks 5-12, White averaged 14.6 touches and 60 total yards while seeing 71% of the snaps. During that span, White was the RB23 in fantasy points per game with a 1.2% explosive run rate, a 14% missed tackle rate, and only 1.52 yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). White has moved on to Washington for the 2026 season, and he could easily be their starting running back this season if he can secure the job coming out of camp. He is a decent dice roll for fantasy football for 2026, who could stack up enough volume to pay off for fantasy gamers.

|
110.
Kyler Murray
QB - MIN (vs . CHI)
Last year, we only got to see Kyler Murray for five games. In the previous six seasons, he had never finished lower than QB12 in fantasy points per game. Could he be a QB1 in 2026 with the Minnesota Vikings? Yep, it's possible. We'll see how the quarterback camp battle shakes out with Murray against J.J. McCarthy, but I'd be shocked if Murray isn't starting Week 1, with how his contract is structured and him choosing Minny over a bunch of other destinations. Last year, in his limited starting sample before being sidelined with a foot injury, Murray had the seventh-lowest yards per attempt, the fourth-lowest aDOT, and the fifth-lowest hero throw rate (per Fantasy Points Data). None of those numbers will make you feel warm and fuzzy, but the risk is essentially priced into Murray's ADP while his upside as a QB1 hasn't been. I have never been a Murray fan, but at this price point I'm willing to take the occasional late-round swing on him in 2026.
|
|
111.
Dallas Goedert
TE - PHI (at NYG)
Last year was the second time in Dallas Goedert's career that he's finished as a top-six fantasy tight end (TE6 in fantasy points per game). Goedert accomplished this by spiking a career-high a career high 11 receiving touchdowns. Last year, among 59 qualifying tight ends, Goedert ranked eighth in target share (18.4%), 33rd in yards per route run (1.43), 17th in receiving yards per game (39.4), eighth in first-read share (21%), seventh in red zone targets (15), and 21st in first downs per route run (0.083, per Fantasy Points Data). With A.J. Brown out of town, Goedert could easily be the clear second option in the Eagles' passing attack this season. I wouldn't rule out Goedert finishing as a top six fantasy tight end again in 2026. At his floor, he's a strong TE1 even with the additions of Hollywood Brown, Dontayvion Wicks, Makai Lemon, and Eli Stowers this offseason.

112.
Isaiah Likely
TE - NYG (vs . PHI)
The Ravens opted to sign Mark Andrews for more years instead of extending Isaiah Likely in the final year of his rookie deal. Likely struggled with injuries to both himself and to his QB...that dramatically hurt his 2025 production (along with a few TDs that didn't actually result in TDs). Entering free agency and eventually signing with the New York Giants...Likely's stock is nowhere near where it was at this time last year. However, the upside we have seen from Likely when Andrews has missed time in the past - 11 PPG with no Andrews, the TE5 in PPG last year - warrants a shot on Likely if he carves out a clear TE1 role with John Harbaugh in NY.

113.
Jakobi Meyers
WR - JAC (at IND)
Jakobi Meyers continues to be one of fantasy football's most underrated receivers, quickly becoming Trevor Lawrence's trusted target after arriving in Jacksonville midseason. Meyers immediately stepped into a major role in Liam Coen's offense and maintained steady production even after Brian Thomas Jr. returned to the lineup. His reliability, route-running, and ability to command targets have quietly made him one of the league's more productive possession receivers over the last several seasons. With a full offseason to build chemistry in Jacksonville, Meyers profiles as a strong value WR3 with a safer weekly floor than most players in his draft range.

114.
Mark Andrews
TE - BAL (vs . PIT)
Mark Andrews was a flat-out bust in 75% of his games played last season. He finished as a weekly fantasy TE1 (top-12) in under 20% of his games played (3 of 17 games played). He was the TE16 last season (TE23 in PPG), and he's not getting any younger. I'm very concerned that he might just be closer to being cooked. Posted a career low in yards (422). His yards per route run TANKED at 1.22. His YAC tanked. Dead last in YAC/reception among 49 qualifying tight ends. Zach "never forced a missed tackle in his life" Ertz had more YAC than Andrews did last season. And Andrews was bad with and without Lamar Jackson last season. There's a path for volume in the Ravens' offense, which is why Andrews is being ranked/drafted as a top-15 consensus tight end. But I'm afraid his decline will continue after he has failed to command the same type of volume over the last 2 seasons.

115.
Kenny Gainwell
RB - TB (at NO)
Kenneth Gainwell was an integral part of the Pittsburgh backfield last year for the entire season, but he really hit his stride in Weeks 11-18 as the RB7 in fantasy points per game with 13.3 touches and 85 total yards per game. His passing game was robust during this stretch as he was third in target share (17.5%), second in receiving yards per game (45.4), fourth in yards per route run (2.10), and first in first downs per route run (0.116, per Fantasy Points Data). That also isn't to say that he wasn't also fantastic on early downs, ranking 14th in explosive run rate and missed tackle rate overall for the season among backs. Gainwell will play a prominent role for his new team (Tampa Bay) this season as a complement to Bucky Irving. Irving has had a substantial list of injuries that he has dealt with during his short career, so I wouldn't be surprised if Gainwell is leading the backfield some weeks in 2026 with a solid standalone role when Irving is active. Gainwell could easily return RB2 value in 2026 if everything falls in his favor. He definitely carries more fantasy appeal in PPR formats, though.
|
|
116.
Josh Downs
WR - IND (vs . JAC)
Josh Downs is good. PFF's 20th-highest graded WR in 2025. And for the second straight year...the Colts slot WR was hyper-targeted at a 24% clip. That led all Colts WRs and TEs in 2025. And he creates separation. Per Fantasy Points Data...Downs ranked 20th in average separation score. Downs has been limited because of a lack of high-end route participation, but a late-season route bump could suggest more of Downs in a full-time role in 2026....after the team traded Michael Pittman Jr. to the Steelers.

117.
Chris Rodriguez Jr.
RB - JAC (at IND)
Chris Rodriguez reunited with Liam Coen this offseason as he signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Rodriguez and Coen spent time together during Coen's one-year tenure as Kentucky's offensive coordinator during the 2021 collegiate season. In that season, Rodriguez ran for 1,379 yards with 6.1 yards per carry and 12 total touchdowns. Rodriguez will look to build upon his brief run as Washington's starter last season. In Weeks 10-18, he drew six starts while averaging 12.7 touches and 57.7 total yards as the RB31 in fantasy points per game. Rodriguez could be an early down and short yardage option for the Jags this year, as he won't be contributing much in the passing game. Last season, he had only four targets and 30 receiving yards with Washington. He was quite good as a rusher, though ranking 12th in missed tackle rate and second in yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). We'll see how much Rodriguez can eat into Bhayshul Tuten's workload this season, but he's a nice late-round pick in all formats.
|

118.
Aaron Jones Sr.
RB - MIN (vs . CHI)
Aaron Jones returns to Minnesota this season, another year older and with more injuries and missed games on his resume. Last year, he missed five games while dealing with hamstring, shoulder, and hip injuries. When he was active, he averaged 13.3 touches and 62.3 total yards as the RB31 in fantasy points per game. Entering his age-32 season, I don't think Jones can be expected to play a full 17 games as a workhorse back. He will likely split work with Jordan Mason this season, picking up most of the passing game usage. On early downs, his best days are behind him, as he was 32nd in explosive run rate, 43rd in missed tackle rate, and 49th in yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). In the receiving game, he is still above average, ranking 26th in yards per route run and 24th in first downs per route run. Jones should be considered an RB3/PPR flex play for 2026.
|

119.
Baker Mayfield
QB - TB (at NO)
Baker Mayfield was averaging 18.5 PPG Weeks 1-11 (QB10). Got hurt in Week 12. 14.2 PPG to end the season in the last 7 weeks. Mayfield seems like a logical bounce-back candidate in 2026, with better injury luck to Tampa's offensive line and WRs. Even so, use Mayfield's 2025 season as a reason to fade outlier passing TD rates. 7.2% in 2024 was well above his career average (5.0). Posted a 4.8% TD rate in 2025.
|
|
120.
Jordan Love
QB - GB (vs . DET)
Jordan Love is really efficient. He finished second in the NFL in 2025 in EPA/dropback. But GB's commitment to the run (4th-highest rush rate) hurt his fantasy appeal. Losing his No. 1 playmaker in Tucker Kraft also hurt his fantasy numbers (17.8 PPG, QB14). If GB leans more into their franchise QB/pass game with a strong supporting cast in 2026, we could very much see Love post an MVP-statistical season with strong passing TD rates.
|
|
121.
Xavier Worthy
WR - KC (vs . LV)
Xavier Worthy's sophomore season never gained traction, as injuries, inconsistent quarterback availability, and the return of established weapons kept him from carving out a meaningful fantasy role. The speedster still flashed explosive upside and posted stronger numbers when paired with Patrick Mahomes, but Kansas City's offense clearly revolved around Rashee Rice whenever he was available. Worthy's usage suggests better days could be ahead, especially after dramatically underperforming expectations compared to Year 1. If Rice misses time again or the Chiefs' offense rebounds, Worthy remains an intriguing post-hype breakout candidate entering his age-23 season.
|
|
122.
Wan'Dale Robinson
WR - TEN (at HOU)
Wan'Dale Robinson quietly delivered a breakout campaign in 2025, finishing as a top-20 WR in points per game while cementing himself as one of the most underrated volume earners. The former Giant expanded beyond his underneath role, seeing more downfield usage while surpassing 1,000 receiving yards for the first time in his career. Now reunited with Brian Daboll in Tennessee, Robinson profiles as a natural fit alongside young QB Cam Ward thanks to his separation skills and reliability underneath. His massive target-earning profile gives him sneaky upside, especially in full-PPR formats where volume is king.
|
|
123.
Stefon Diggs
WR - WAS (vs . DAL)
Stefon Diggs did not run a full allotment of routes for the Patriots despite being hyper-targeted as their No. 1 WR last year. But after getting his legs wet through the first three weeks of the season, he was highly efficient from Weeks 4-17: 4th in yards per route run (2.67). He finished with 100 targets during the regular season and finished as the WR29 in PPG (9.9). He will turn 33 years old this season (coming off lackluster playoff performances), but his game seems more likely to age gracefully based on his strengths as a route runner. He will catch passes from Jayden Daniels as the team's presumed No. 2 WR option after signing a 1-year $12M deal with the Washington Commanders in free agency.
|
|
124.
Tyler Shough
QB - NO (vs . TB)
Tyler Shough is a wonderful late-round quarterback who could be a QB1 in 2026. Last year, in Weeks 12-18, Shough was the QB6 in fantasy points per game while averaging 25 rushing yards per game. That rushing yardage mark per game would have placed him at 12th-best last year had he kept it up for the entire season. In Weeks 12-18, among 30 qualifying quarterbacks, Shough was 12th in yards per attempt and highly accurate throw rate, ninth in hero throw rate, and seventh in passing yards per game (per Fantasy Points Data). With Travis Etienne, Bryce Lance, Oscar Delp, and Jordyn Tyson added to the offensive firepower this offseason, I expect the Saints offense to take another leap this season if Shough is up to the task, which his strong finish to last season says he is primed for.
|
|
125.
Tyler Allgeier
RB - ARI (vs . SF)
Tyler Allgeier is a handcuff/late round touchdown dependent flex option again this season. Last year, he was the RB45 in fantasy points per game, but with his eight scores last year, he had eight weeks as a top 36 running back and four games as a top 24 option in weekly scoring. Allgeier will be a thorn in Jeremiyah Love's side like he was for Bijan Robinson for a number of seasons. Last year, among 49 qualifying backs, Allgeier was 36th in explosive run rate, 39th in missed tackle rate, and 43rd in yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data).
|
|
126.
Matthew Golden
WR - GB (vs . DET)
Matthew Golden's rookie season was mostly quiet from a fantasy perspective, but the underlying context suggests better days are ahead. Green Bay has significant vacated targets entering 2026, and Golden's lack of production was driven more by inconsistent playing time than poor efficiency. The former first-round pick flashed his upside late in the year and remains an intriguing fit alongside Jordan Love thanks to his speed and big-play ability. If his route participation climbs in Year 2, Golden has clear breakout potential in an evolving Packers offense.
|
|
127.
KC Concepcion
WR - CLE (at CIN)
KC Concepcion lands in an intriguing spot after the Browns selected him 24th overall to help reshape their passing attack under new HC Todd Monken. The former Texas A&M Aggie boasts an elite production profile, dynamic YAC ability, and a versatile skill set that has drawn comparisons to Zay Flowers. With uncertainty surrounding Cleveland's WR hierarchy, Concepcion has a realistic path to emerging as a featured option sooner rather than later. The Browns quarterback situation creates volatility, but his ability to create offense on his own makes him one of the more intriguing rookie sleeper receivers in fantasy football considered he has first-round draft capital.
|
|
128.
Jake Ferguson
TE - DAL (at WAS)
Jake Ferguson averaged just 7.3 PPG when George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb were both healthy (> 50% snap share) in the lineup during the 2025 season (11 games). Five games without Lamb playing at least 50% of the snaps -> 13.5 PPG. Still, the overall production and career-high 8 TDs resulted in TE13 finishing in half-PPR scoring (per game). Top-5 in cumulative scoring in full PPR formats. With George Pickens returning to Dallas....Ferguson is facing a major uphill battle to rise above TD-or-bust TE territory. He's being overvalued as a fringe TE1 based on his teammate's missing games in 2025.
|
|
129.
Jordyn Tyson
WR - NO (vs . TB)
The Saints drafted Jordyn Tyson 8th overall, adding a high-upside weapon for their second-year QB in Kellen Moore's fast-paced offense. The former Arizona State standout broke out at 18 and commanded a 35% target share in 2025, showcasing elite target-earning ability when healthy. Durability concerns linger after multiple injuries, but his prospect profile checks nearly every box of a future WR1. With New Orleans capable of supporting multiple fantasy-relevant wideouts, Tyson has a clear path to operate as a No. 2 if not 1B alongside Chris Olave. But that projection may be delayed as Tyson suffered a hamstring injury in training camp, which will force him to miss up to 2 months (potentially 4+ games into the regular season).
|
|
130.
Romeo Doubs
WR - NE (vs . MIA)
Romeo Doubs lands in a much more pass-heavy offensive environment after signing with New England, where he should have a larger opportunity than he ever consistently received in Green Bay. The veteran receiver quietly improved his efficiency over the last two seasons while maintaining strong red-zone involvement and reliable weekly usage. Doubs has recorded two seasons with at least seven receiving TDs, while also commanding 17 or more red-zone targets in multiple seasons. Doubs may never develop into a true alpha WR1, but Drake Maye and Josh McDaniels could help unlock the most productive stretch of his career. He profiles as a solid WR3/FLEX option with touchdown upside in an ascending Patriots offense.
|
|
131.
Woody Marks
RB - HOU (vs . TEN)
With David Montgomery in Houston now, Woody Marks becomes his immediate backup and handcuff. Marks is a solid option among handcuffs. Last year, during his run as Houston's starter (Weeks 10-18), he averaged 17.5 touches and 63.2 total yards per game as the RB32 in fantasy points per game. Last year, overall, he was solid but not spectacular on a per-touch basis, ranking 34th in explosive run rate, 48th in missed tackle rate, and 40th in rushing success rate (per Fantasy Points Data). Marks is a decent late-round handcuff option to draft, but you'll likely be able to get him off the waiver wire in season if Montgomery misses any time.
|
|
132.
Jalen Coker
WR - CAR (vs . ATL)
Jalen Coker continued proving he belongs after entering the league as an undrafted free agent, flashing whenever he was healthy enough to stay on the field. The Panthers slot receiver finished the year strong, highlighted by a huge playoff performance and a stretch of consistent production that hinted at a larger role. Coker's strong hands and reliability helped him emerge as one of Bryce Young's trusted options, and he enters 2026 as the favorite for Carolina's No. 2 WR job behind Tetairoa McMillan. If he can finally stay healthy for a full season, Coker has sneaky value in deeper formats. In Coker's last nine games played, he was averaging 10.1 PPG in half-PPR.
|
|
133.
Malik Willis
QB - MIA (at NE)
Is Malik Willis in a tough spot in Miami? Sure. Could this offense outperform expectations in a number of ways? Absolutely. Greg Dulcich was outstanding on a per-route basis last year. Their receiver room is unproven and full of castoffs, but talented rookies like Chris Bell and Kevin Coleman Jr. could open some eyes in 2026 along with Willis. I know the starting resume for Willis is limited. I get it. What he have seen in limited doses over the last two years has been outstanding, though. Over the last two seasons, Willis has posted a 5.6% big-time throw rate (118 dropbacks, per PFF), 10.9 yards per attempt, and averaged 44.8 rushing yards per game. Last year, among all quarterbacks with at least 110 dropbacks, that big-time throw rate would have ranked eighth-best behind Caleb Williams, and his yards per attempt mark would have led the NFL. That rushing yardage mark per game over the last three years would have ranked first, fourth, and third among quarterbacks. Willis's running prowess should have him flirting with QB1 production this year alone. If he and this offense surpass lowly expectations through the air, Willis would be a strong QB1 with upside in 2026.

134.
Zach Charbonnet
RB - SEA (at LAR)
Zach Charbonnet enters 2026 with an unknown timetable for when he'll be available for Seattle or when he'll be 100% after he tore his ACL in last year's playoffs. With Jadarian Price, Emanuel Wilson, and George Holani on the depth chart, I doubt that Seattle rushes him back into duty and tasks him with a hefty workload before he's ready. This unknown/moving timeline has me shying away from Charbonnet for 2026. Last year, he was the RB27 in fantasy points per game, while ranking seventh in missed tackle rate and yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). Take those numbers with a grain of salt for this season, with Charbonnet's health likely not 100% for most of the season. Charbonnet could be a decent flex play this season at some point.
|
|
135.
Juwan Johnson
TE - NO (vs . TB)
Juwan Johnson finished 5th in catches (77) and third in yards (889) among TEs in 2025, but he only scored three TDs (TE15 in PPG). It wasn't always pretty (tied for league-high 7 drops per PFF), but the WR-TE convert made the most of his sheer volume. The Saints already paid him a decent chunk of change, and there's currently little competition in the receiver room outside of Chris Olave and former 7th-round pick DeVaughn Vele starting in Week 1. Johnson was the TE9 in PPG after the team traded Rashid Shaheed (9.1) before the deadline (with Tyler Shough making all but one of those starts). With Shough from Week 10 onward, Johnson averaged over 61 receiving yards per game. However, they did also add Noah Fant in free agency, and they drafted WR Jordyn Tyson and TE Oscar Delp in the first two rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft. But with Tyson sidelined due to a hamstring injury and Delp more of a 2027 bet, Johnson is emerging as a prime late-round TE target.
|
|
136.
Tyrone Tracy Jr.
RB - NYG (vs . PHI)
Tyrone Tracy could be the handcuff to roster in the Giants' backfield, but the signing of Najee Harris and Tracy blowing a pass-pro assignment in Week 1 of the preseason call that into question. Last year, Tracy had another nice run as the Giants' starting back. In Weeks 10-18, he was the RB14 in fantasy points per game, averaging 18.7 touches and 95.5 total yards. Overall, among 49 qualifying backs, he ranked 27th in explosive run rate and 31st in yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). With this backfield workload division up in the air, I'm avoiding Tracy in drafts.
|
|
137.
Khalil Shakir
WR - BUF (vs . NYJ)
Khalil Shakir once again provided stability without much ceiling, finishing as a WR3/4 despite operating as one of Josh Allen's most trusted targets. His short-area role created a reliable weekly floor, but limited downfield and red-zone usage continued to cap his fantasy upside. The addition of DJ Moore adds even more competition for targets, making it difficult to project meaningful volume growth in 2026. Shakir still profiles as Buffalo's safest receiver from a consistency standpoint, but fantasy managers should view him more as a floor-based depth option than a breakout candidate.
|
|
138.
De'Zhaun Stribling
WR - SF (at ARI)
De'Zhaun Stribling received the draft capital boost fantasy managers crave, but his profile still carries more risk than his post-draft hype suggests. The 49ers clearly believe in the former Ole Miss receiver, yet concerns remain about his age, production profile, target-earning ability, and path to immediate volume in a crowded offense. Stribling's ADP has climbed rapidly because of landing spot, draft capital and preseason hype, but those factors alone do not guarantee fantasy success. Still, he remains a worthwhile swing on a high-powered 49ers offense where immediate opportunity seems immient.
|
|
139.
Tank Bigsby
RB - PHI (at NYG)
Tank Bigsby is one of the best handcuffs in the NFL, and he won't get mentioned at the top of the conversation many times. Last year, among 65 qualifying backs, he ranked fourth in explosive run rate, second in missed tackle rate, and first in yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). In the one game that he played more than 40% of the snaps (Week 18), we got to see what his fantasy value could be if Saquon Barkley missed any time. He logged 17 touches with 106 total yards as the RB9 for the week in PPR scoring. If you're looking for handcuffs to stash, Bigsby is one of the best.

140.
Sam Darnold
QB - SEA (at LAR)
As good as Sam Darnold was from a real-life quarterbacking perspective last year, he wasn't great in fantasy, and I don't see that changing this season if their defense remains an elite unit. Last season, Darnold was the QB22 in fantasy points per game as Seattle led the NFL in plays while leading by seven or more points. When Seattle was 27th in passing rate when leading by seven or more points, they were 32nd in passing rate when trailing by a touchdown or more, and they finished 25th in neutral passing rate. In every conceivable situation, this team didn't want to throw the ball, and I don't see that being any different in 2026. Darnold had only seven weekly finishes as a QB1 in fantasy while finishing as the QB24 or lower in weekly scoring eight times. Darnold can continue to be awesome in real-life football and an avoid for fantasy purposes because of their offensive game plan and their strong defense. He's a QB2 that I'll be avoiding.

|
141.
Rashid Shaheed
WR - SEA (at LAR)
Rashid Shaheed's 2025 season was derailed after a midyear trade from New Orleans to Seattle, but his early-season showed he is capable of thriving as a fantasy-relevant No. 2 receiver. Before the trade, Shaheed ranked top-15 in WR targets and consistently produced alongside Chris Olave in the Saints offense. Seattle never fully incorporated him after the move, though the Seahawks clearly believe in his upside after handing him a three-year deal this offseason. Shaheed should enter 2026 as Seattle's clear WR2 behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba, although target competition and the team's run-heavy tendencies could make him more boom-or-bust week to week.

Deebo Samuel Sr.
WR - SF (at ARI)
Deebo Samuel was a late addition to the 49ers' room after the injury to Ricky Pearsall. He was a top-20 WR from Weeks 1-11 before his production tailed off in the second half in typical Deebo fashion. His strong YAC-ability (7th in YAC/reception) and knowledge of the 49ers offense suggest he can be a early-season producer.

Keaton Mitchell
RB - LAC (at DEN)
Keaton Mitchell landed with the Chargers this offseason and should be solid competition for Kimani Vidal for the RB2 role. Mitchell flashed with the same big-play ability that he has been known for in his short career with the Ravens last season. Last season, he had only 68 touches, but he had a 10.2% explosive run rate and a respectable 1.37 yards per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). I don't know if he'll have a ton of bankable standalone value week-to-week with the Bolts, but he will offer some flashy big plays for Mike McDaniel's offense when called upon in 2026. I wouldn't be surprised if he works his way into an ancillary role as the season moves along that offers some flex value, but we'll have to wait and see if that comes to fruition.

C.J. Stroud
QB - HOU (vs . TEN)
C.J. Stroud had another struggle bus season last year as the QB20 in fantasy points per game. He had only four weeks in which he cracked the top 12 in weekly scoring among quarterbacks. Among 38 qualifying quarterbacks, he ranked 15th in yards per attempt, 18th in passing yards per game, 28th in highly accurate throw rate, 31st in catchable target rate, and 28th in hero throw rate (per Fantasy Points Data). Houston tried to hide him, as he had only five games last year with 35 or more passing attempts. I still have the hope candle lit for Stroud that MAYBE he can recapture some of his rookie season magic, but I won't be drafting him in any league unless it is in a Superflex format.

Isiah Pacheco
RB - DET (at GB)
Isiah Pacheco lands with the Lions as the change-of-pace back/handcuff for Jahmyr Gibbs. Pacheco's health has been an issue for the last three years, and he is currently dealing with an MCL issue. In a complementary/goal-line role, he could pay dividends for Detroit. If he can recapture any resemblance to the player that posted a 5.4% explosive run rate and 2.77 yards after contact per attempt in 2023 in Detroit, he should pay off for the Lions in 2026 (per Fantasy Points Data). If Gibbs were to miss any time, Pacheco would likely be an RB2 option for fantasy gamers. Pacheco is a handcuff option that I won't be drafting often in 2026.

146.
Jonah Coleman
RB - DEN (vs . LAC)
Jonah Coleman walks into the Denver depth chart as the RB3 with the ability to climb the depth chart. If J.K. Dobbins is unable to stay healthy this year, Coleman could assume the early down duties opposite R.J. Harvey. If Harvey can't continue to grow and improve after his rookie season, it wouldn't be shocking to see Coleman hop Harvey on the depth chart and become the passing-down option for Denver. Over his last three collegiate seasons, Coleman ranked 54th, 13th, and 1st in yards after contact per attempt and 61st, sixth, and fourth in elusive rating (per PFF). In two of those three seasons, he was also top 24 in yards per route run. Coleman is a wonderful late-round dart to toss in fantasy drafts in 2026.

147.
Hunter Henry
TE - NE (vs . MIA)
Last year, Hunter Henry was the TE12 in fantasy points per game while setting a new career high in receiving yards (768) and finishing with the second-most receiving touchdowns in a season in his career (seven). Among 54 qualifying tight ends, he was 15th in target share, 13th in receiving yards per game, 17th in yards per route run, and 14th in first-read share and first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Henry will take a step back in 2026 after the additions of A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs this offseason, so I wouldn't expect him to be a TE1 again. He's best viewed as a solid TE2.
|
|
148.
Brian Robinson Jr.
RB - ATL (at CAR)
Brian Robinson Jr. is quietly one of the best handcuffs in football. If Bijan Robinson were to miss any time, he'd be the team's every-down back with only Tyler Goodson and Nathan Carter behind him on the depth chart. I doubt he has much standalone value this season, so if you're drafting him, it's for his handcuff upside only. Last year, when he was on the field for the 49ers, he posted a solid 4.3% explosive run rate and 2.46 yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). If Bijan Robinson were knocked out of the lineup, Brian Robinson Jr. would be a top 24 back immediately with RB1 upside in any week.
|
|
149.
Daniel Jones
QB - IND (vs . JAC)
Daniel Jones' monster 2025 season was derailed by a fractured fibula (Week 12) and then a season-ending ruptured Achilles (Week 14). In Weeks 1-10, when Jones was healthy, among 37 qualifying quarterbacks, he ranked fourth in yards per attempt, 15th in adjusted completion rate, ninth in highly accurate throw rate, and 17th in hero throw rate (per Fantasy Points Data). During that stretch, he was the QB9 in fantasy points per game, contributing 14.3 rushing yards per game (five rushing touchdowns). Jones did fall off in his final three games played last year, which could be the league catching up to the Colts' offense, or it could also be injuries taking a toll on him. We'll see how well Jones bounces back from the Achilles this year and, with a full offseason to review the Colts' offense, if NFL defenses are better prepared for them. Jones is still a decent QB2/late round flier to take in 2026 for fantasy (especially Superflex formats).

150.
Brenton Strange
TE - JAC (at IND)
Last year, Brenton Strange had a breakout season as the TE17 in fantasy points per game setting career highs in targets (only in 12 games), receiving yards, yards per reception, and fantasy points per game. Among 54 qualifying tight ends, he was 21st in target share, 14th in receiving yards per game, ninth in yards per route run, 23rd in first-read share, and 11th in first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Strange's per-route metrics display the talent that he has to surpass last year's numbers if he ever got a featured role in the Jags' passing attack, but as the depth chart currently stands, he's likely the fourth or fifth option in the target hierarchy. Strange is a nice stash or pickup in season if injuries strike the depth chart because he could see his numbers boom, but as it currently sits, he's an intriguing TE2 with upside.

152.
Denzel Boston
WR - CLE (at CIN)
Denzel Boston lands in Cleveland with intriguing draft capital and a skill set that fills a clear need in the Browns offense. The 6-foot-4 receiver brings size, physicality, and contested-catch ability to a WR room lacking true boundary presence. However, Boston faces an uphill battle for immediate fantasy relevance while competing with first-round pick KC Concepcion and tight end Harold Fannin Jr. for targets in an offense with lingering quarterback concerns. His profile suggests more boom-or-bust production early in his career, relying heavily on downfield plays and red-zone opportunities.
|
|
153.
Alvin Kamara
RB - NO (vs . TB)
Alvin Kamara is a late round/handcuff option in fantasy drafts this season, assuming that the knee injury he sustained in training camp doesn't linger into the season. After an offseason of speculation that he could be traded or cut after the signing of Travis Etienne, Kamara is entrenched with the Saints for the 2026 season. Kamara had another injury-marred season in 2025 as he missed the tail end of it with an MCL sprain. Kamara produced 2.56 yards after contact per attempt in 2025 (44th out of 49 qualifying backs, per PFF) and a career-low 0.78 yards per route run. Neither of those are amazing efficiency marks, but as a passing-down specialist and change of pace this season, he could easily see his numbers trend back up if his knee can get back to full health during the season. It's not like it's been forever since we have seen Kamara be an elite receiving back. In 2024, among 45 qualifying backs, Kamara was first in target share (19.6%), second in yards per route run (1.93), and 13th in fantasy points per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Kamara would return to every-down workhorse status for the Saints if Etienne were to miss any time, but if Etienne stays healthy, he should be an interesting flex play weekly in PPR formats.

154.
Cam Ward
QB - TEN (at HOU)
Cam Ward had a rough rookie season, but he was also airdropped into a horrible situation. Calvin Ridley was the only dependable receiver that he had entering the season, and he was limited to only seven games played. Ward was the QB33 in fantasy points per game with only one week as a QB1 in weekly scoring. Even when Ward's play improved marginally in Weeks 12-18, it wasn't amazing. During that stretch, among 30 qualifying passers, he was 15th in adjusted completion rate, 22nd in highly accurate throw rate, 26th in catchable target rate, and 23rd in hero throw rate (per Fantasy Points Data). I have hope left for Ward, though. This offseason, the Titans overhauled the receiver room and the coaching staff, bringing in quarterback whisperer Brian Daboll with new head coach Robert Saleh to change the direction of the franchise. I have a ton of respect for Daboll with young quarterbacks after his work with Josh Allen, Daniel Jones, and Jaxson Dart. With Carnell Tate and Wan'Dale Robinson added to the receiver room, Ward should have a solid starting trio of receivers to lean on. Ward is a nice late-round lottery ticket for fantasy in 2026.

155.
Houston Texans
DST - HOU (vs . TEN)
No. 1-highest scoring projected DST after finishing as the DST2 in 2025. Third-fewest PPG allowed. The Texans have been a top-5 fantasy unit for two straight seasons. They do draw two tougher matchups to start the year, versus Buffalo and Cincinnati.

157.
Chig Okonkwo
TE - WAS (vs . DAL)
Chig Okonkwo is back on the intriguing late-round tight end radar again for 2026. The signing of Stefon Diggs definitely puts a damper on his upside, but Okonkwo is still an interesting dice roll. Last year, among 54 qualifying tight ends, he was 24th in target share, 23rd in receiving yards per game, 28th in yards per route run, and 37th in first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Okonkwo has been a per-route metric darling in previous seasons, so with better quarterback play in 2026 tied to Jayden Daniels, I wouldn't be surprised if he recaptures some of that magic. I still don't know if he'll have enough volume this season to be anything more than a streaming option when the matchup is right.

Dylan Sampson

Dylan Sampson finished 2nd in yards per route run and first in target rate per route run (28%) among qualifying RBs last season.

Jauan Jennings
WR - MIN (vs . CHI)
Jauan Jennings revived his career over the last two seasons, finishing as a fantasy WR3 in 2025 while emerging as one of the NFL's most heavily targeted red-zone receivers. However, his move to Minnesota likely pushes him into a depth role behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. Vikings HC Kevin O'Connell values Jennings' versatility and physicality, but consistent fantasy relevance could be difficult to achieve without injuries ahead of him on the depth chart. Jennings still offers some touchdown appeal in deeper formats, though his weekly ceiling projects much lower in Minnesota than it was in San Francisco.

160.
Adonai Mitchell
WR - NYJ (at BUF)
Last year, after joining the Jets, Adonai Mitchell saw a 23.6% target share and a 30% first-read share, but he did very little with it, producing only 37.6 receiving yards per game and 1.37 yards per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Yes, the quarterback play for the Jets last year can be a large part of this discussion, but we also have to acknowledge that Mitchell saw that volume without Garrett Wilson in the lineup. Mitchell likely fills a field-stretching role for the Jets in 2026, which I don't expect to be a high-volume one. Mitchell is a deep league or best-ball option only.
|
|
161.
Jalen McMillan
WR - TB (at NO)
Jalen McMillan's 2025 season was essentially wiped out by injury, but the flashes he showed in limited action — and previously as a rookie — remain intriguing. The former Washington product continued to post strong efficiency metrics when healthy, highlighted by a huge Week 17 performance and over 2.0 yards per route run in a small sample. The issue has never really been talent; it has been availability. McMillan remains an upside stash in deeper formats, but fantasy managers need to factor in the growing injury concerns entering Year 3.

162.
Denver Broncos
DST - DEN (vs . LAC)
The Broncos had one of the softest schedules to start the 2025 season. 2026 is drastically different. In the first six weeks, it's tough, according to Warren Sharp (although drawing the Chiefs twice early on could be an advantage if Patrick Mahomes is less than 100%). First 8 games: Chiefs, Jaguars, Rams, 49ers, Chargers, Seahawks, Cardinals, and Chiefs. Third-toughest schedule over that stretch. If the Broncos don't have the same injury luck on defense two years in a row, it's possible they don't return elite DST status.
|
|
163.
Tre Tucker
WR - LV (at KC)
Tre Tucker quietly put together a solid 2025 season and enters 2026 with a legitimate chance to emerge as the Raiders' top wide receiver, even if Brock Bowers remains the centerpiece of the passing game. The former third-round pick has improved each season, logged nearly every snap last year, and continues to command meaningful downfield volume. New coaches have already praised Tucker's leadership and work ethic, suggesting he will remain heavily involved in the offense.
|
|
164.
Jerry Jeudy
WR - CLE (at CIN)
Jerry Jeudy's last year in Cleveland was disappointing both from an efficiency and fantasy standpoint, and the outlook for 2026 isn't much brighter. Despite a respectable target volume, Jeudy struggled badly on a per-route basis (8th worst in YPPR) while the Browns aggressively added more pass-catching competition this offseason. Cleveland can talk up Jeudy's role all it wants, but drafting multiple receivers early suggests the organization isn't fully committed to him as the long-term WR1. At his current price, Jeudy feels more like a player fantasy managers should avoid than target.
|
|
165.
Oronde Gadsden II
TE - LAC (at DEN)
I'll be avoiding Oronde Gadsden in drafts this season. Yes, in Weeks 6-18 last year, he had his moments with five TE1 finishes in weekly scoring, but he was also only the TE17 in fantasy points per game. During that sample of games, among 50 qualifying tight ends, he was 36th in target per route run rate, 15th in yards per route run, 22nd in first-read share, and 29th in first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). After Week 15, he failed to surpass a 70% route share in any game. All of these are concerning red flags before we even get to the Bolts' additions of Charlie Kolar and David Njoku this offseason. Gadsden looks like he's locked in a tight end committee for 2026, which is something I don't have any interest in dealing with for fantasy purposes.

166.
Seattle Seahawks
DST - SEA (at LAR)
Seattle took home the crown of the highest-scoring DST in 2025 by allowing the fewest PPG in the NFL (17.2). They will host the Patriots in the season opener, followed by a road game versus the Cardinals. They have been a top-5 fantasy unit in back-to-back seasons under Mike Macdonald. Expect more of the same in 2026.
|
|
167.
Los Angeles Rams
DST - LAR (vs . SEA)
The Rams were fourth in pressure rate last season (26%) and just added last year's reigning sack record-breaker in EDGE rusher Myles Garrett. Jared Verse had no problems generating pressures last season, but he didn't always finish with the sack. That won't be an issue with Garrett entrenched as the Rams' top pass rusher. Add that the Rams led the NFL in dropped interceptions (10) and revamped their secondary with the additions of CBs Jaylen Watson/Trent McDuffie - LA is knocking on the door of DST No. 1 status in pursuit of a Lombardi trophy.
|
|
168.
Bryce Young
QB - CAR (vs . ATL)
Bryce Young didn't take the fantasy leap that we all hoped for last year. He finished the season as the QB24 in fantasy points per game with only five games as a QB1 in weekly scoring. The rushing floor I was hoping we would get in 2025 after some glimpses in 2024 also wasn't there, as he surpassed 25 rushing yards in only three games. Carolina tried to hide him as he surpassed 225 passing yards only three times and had more than 30 passing attempts only five times. Young is a low-end QB2 again this season that will have some eruption games, but good luck predicting when those will happen. He's only appealing in Superflex formats.
|
|
169.
MarShawn Lloyd
RB - GB (vs . DET)
My guy MarShawn Lloyd is making some noise in training camp. He has looked explosive so far and is everything that the Packers thought they were drafting. Yes, the big worry is whether he holds up as the practices and reps pile up. We still have to collectively hold our breath, but Lloyd should be inching closer and closer to the clear handcuff tier of backs for fantasy season if he can continue this charge throughout the preseason. Just to remind everyone about Lloyd's talent. During his final two collegiate seasons, he was 20th and 16th in yards after contact per attempt, third and 18th in breakaway rate, and fourth and 15th in elusive rating (per PFF, minimum 100 carries). Take a flier on Lloyd late in drafts.

170.
Philadelphia Eagles
DST - PHI (at NYG)
No team has a more difficult DST schedule than the Eagles in 2026. But they start the year off in a decent spot - at home versus the Commanders and on the road versus the Titans. The Eagles have finished as fantasy DST7 in back-to-back seasons with extremely strong personnel on that side of the ball. They have been in the top 6 in turnover margin since 2024, and saw an increase in pass rush productivity last season.
|
|
171.
Tre' Harris
WR - LAC (at DEN)
Tre Harris has to be one of the best WR sleepers to take in 2026. The second-year WR is being grouped into the "elite" Chargers WR conversation alongside Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston by HC John Harbaugh. And even though his rookie year didn't feature a ton of highlight-reel plays or counting stats, his playing time increased because of his contributions as a run-blocker. That suggests he could see much more playing time (and targets) than his bottom-dwelling ADP would indicate in 2026. Harris can create big plays and is versatile enough to line up all over the formation. He also averaged 5.5 targets in the last two games that QJ missed in the second half of the season. If the Chargers lean into the run game more with their new OC, Mike McDaniel, Harris could be a major benefactor in terms of snaps/routes based on how well he does the dirty work.

|
172.
Dalton Schultz
TE - HOU (vs . TEN)
Last year, Dalton Schultz was the TE14 in fantasy points per game while ranking 13th in deep targets and 15th in red zone targets among tight ends. Among 54 qualifying tight ends, Schultz was 11th in target share and receiving yards per game, 20th in yards per route run, 16th in first-read share, and 20th in first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Schultz could flirt with borderline TE1 production again this season with Jayden Higgons lost for the season to a torn ACL.

173.
Mike Washington Jr.
RB - LV (at KC)
Mike Washington Jr. could help Ashton Jeanty with the early down lifting in 2026 and slot in as one of the best handcuffs in the NFL. Washington Jr. tested like an alien during the predraft process, leading to his fourth-round draft capital. During his final collegiate season, Washington Jr. broke out, ranking 33rd in yards after contact per attempt and 17th in breakaway rate (per PFF). Washington Jr. has blistering 4.3 speed and the size (6'1", 223 lbs) to be a three-down back if called upon. Stash him as a wonderful handcuff in 2026, where you can.
|
|
174.
Jalen Nailor
WR - LV (at KC)
It wouldn't shock me at all if Jalen Nailor steps up as the clear number two option for the Raiders this season behind Brock Bowers through the air. Nailor isn't facing stiff competition from Tre Tucker, Jack Bech, Dont'e Thornton, and company. Yes, last year Nailor had only a 10.3% target share, 1.19 yards per route run, and a 10.8% first-read share (per Fantasy Points Data). None of those metrics will or should get you excited, but when we dig deeper, his per-route numbers are QUITE INTERESTING. Last year, among 109 qualifying receivers, he was 33rd in separation and 51st in route win rate. As a perimeter receiver among the same sample, his numbers look even better (141 routes) as he was sixth-best in separation and 13th in route win rate. Nailor is the final pick in a draft that could pay dividends and become a weekly WR3 or flex if it all works out.

Emmett Johnson
RB - KC (vs . LV)
The Chiefs selected Emmett Johnson in the fifth round of the NFL Draft. He arrives in Kansas City after a final season in college, where he ranked sixth in missed tackles forced and 52nd in yards per route run and elusive rating (per PFF). Johnson has three-down ability in the NFL after lining up in the slot or out wide with 18% of his snaps in 2025. He's a strong handcuff who should earn the RB2 role for the team behind Kenneth Walker, in short order.

176.
Terrance Ferguson
TE - LAR (vs . SEA)
Terrance Ferguson will be a stud and possesses an extremely high ceiling. Tyler Higbee is 33 years old, even after signing a 2-year contract extension with L.A. this offseason. Davante Adams is getting older and is a potential salary cap cut candidate despite the Rams wanting him to return next season. We could very much see the Rams' young TE make a major leap in 2026. His 20.8 yards per reception led all TEs in 2025, along with an extremely high average depth of target (17.6). Per Next Gen Stats...Ferguson averaged more air yards per target this season, by more than six full yards. Ferguson was targeted on 12 of his 37 deep routes (32.4%), the highest rate among tight ends to run at least 15 such routes. He hauled in five deep targets for 144 yards and two touchdowns, good for the second-most deep receiving yards by a tight end.
|
|
177.
AJ Barner
TE - SEA (at LAR)
Last year, A.J. Barner was the TE20 in fantasy points per game while finishing as a TE1 in weekly scoring six times. There is some definite streaming upside with Barner again for 2026. Last year, among 54 qualifying tight ends, he was 27th in target share, 25th in receiving yards per game, 26th in yards per route run, 33rd in first-read share, and 26th in first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). His touchdown equity in the Seattle offense is what gives him the streaming appeal. Last year, he was fifth in total touchdowns among tight ends while also ranking 12th in red zone targets. Barner will be called upon by fantasy managers again in 2026 when the matchup is right or bye weeks hit.
|

178.
Omar Cooper Jr.
WR - NYJ (at BUF)
2026 first-rounder Omar Cooper Jr. enters a Jets offense that lacks an established No. 2 option, but the rookie's versatility and run-after-catch ability could help him carve out an immediate role. The former Indiana standout was one of the best YAC receivers in the class and offers inside-outside flexibility that complements Jets WR1 Garrett Wilson well. Opportunity may be limited early with multiple young pass-catchers already in place, but Cooper has a realistic path to earning the No. 2 WR role over time. His fantasy appeal likely hinges more on efficiency and manufactured touches.
|
|
179.
Travis Hunter
WR,CB - JAC (at IND)
Travis Hunter remains one of fantasy football's most fascinating wild cards as Jacksonville continues to balance his two-way responsibilities. Early indications suggest the Jaguars want him playing more cornerback in 2026, although that may not necessarily come at the expense of his WR role. Before his injury last season, Hunter was heavily involved as a schemed-touch weapon, leading the Jaguars in catches while flashing explosive upside from the slot. His fantasy value ultimately hinges on offensive snap volume, making him more of a high-upside stash unless injuries or dedicated role expansion push him into a full-time receiving role.

Brandon Aubrey was the K4 in fantasy points per game last year, despite ranking 19th in field goal percentage made. He was third in field goal attempts and fifth in extra point attempts. He'll have plenty of kicking opportunities in 2026 with the high-powered Dallas offense putting him in position plenty. If Aubrey can bump up his field goal % a few points this season, he could be the top fantasy kicker in 2026.

New England Patriots
DST - NE (vs . MIA)
The Pats boasted a bottom-10 pass rush last season. They lost their sack leader in free agency and replaced him with Dre'Mont Jones. NE seems like a unit that could regress with a more difficult schedule in 2026 and worse injury luck on defense. Note that despite finishing last year inside the top 5 in fewest points allowed, they were the third-worst red zone defense. Just 23rd overall in defensive DVOA as the 10th-ranked DST. It's probably not worth reaching on too early based on their tougher opening 4 matchups against the formidable Seahawks, Steelers, Jaguars, and Bills.
|
|
186.
Kimani Vidal
RB - LAC (at DEN)
Kimani Vidal is a late-round handcuff option only. Vidal proved capable of carrying the load last year while Omarion Hampton was injured, but he wasn't efficient on a per-touch basis. Among 49 qualifying backs, he was 30th in explosive run rate, 34th in missed tackle rate, and 36th in yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). Vidal will have to compete with Keaton Mitchell for touches this season in the Bolts' backfield behind Hampton. He's a serviceable handcuff flier in deeper leagues.

187.
Pittsburgh Steelers
DST - PIT (at BAL)
Week 1? Home versus the Atlanta Falcons. That in itself justifies selecting the Steelers DST. They also come in at No. 4 in the projections - but this unit has seen a fall-off over the last 2 seasons (4 to 9). The Steelers' secondary was shredded at times last season, allowing the fourth-most passing yards per game and ranking third in total missed tackles. FA acquisitions Jaquan Brisker and Jamel Dean should help bolster the back-end, but this defense STILL projects as one of the oldest in the league. But the third-easiest schedule through the first eight games suggests they start the year strongly.

188.
Dontayvion Wicks
WR - PHI (at NYG)
Dontayvion Wicks has been a separation-score and route-win-rate darling over the last two years, and could finally step into a bigger role this year in Philly. Makai Lemon is a talented rookie, but he's dealing with a hamstring injury, which has sidelined him for much of training camp. This could allow Wicks to get a runway as the WR2 opposite DeVonta Smith. If that happens, Wicks might not let go of the job. Over the last two years, Wicks has ranked third and 24th in separation score and sixth and seventh in route win rate among all wide receivers with at least 200 routes (per Fantasy Points Data). Last year, Wicks posted a 21% target-per-route run rate, 1.56 yards per route run, and 0.099 first downs per route run. Those are strong per-route metrics for a late-round dart throw that could emerge in 2026. I'll take last-round fliers on Wicks in a ton of my leagues.

189.
Minnesota Vikings
DST - MIN (vs . CHI)
2025's fifth-highest scoring DST opens the schedule at home against the Packers at home, followed by two road matchups versus the Bears/Buccaneers. However, the defense projects to suffer more injuries after being the 4th-healthiest unit last season. They also had the fourth-fewest passes defensed despite ranking in the top 5 in pressure rate/sacks. Brian Flores' blitz-happy defense lends itself to boom-or-bust DST performances (25th in turnover margin in 2025).
|

190.
Calvin Ridley
WR - TEN (at HOU)
Calvin Ridley's 2025 season was crushed by a hamstring injury and a broken fibula. Last year, we only got to see him on the field in a full-time capacity in Weeks 1-5. During that sample, Ridley had a 19.5% target share, 54.4 receiving yards per game, 1.89 yards per route run, a 26.7% first-read share, and 0.076 first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Entering his age-32 season, I'm not expecting Ridley to be a last-round league winner in 2026, but he could easily become a decent flex play this season if Cam Ward can become the player that we hoped he would be with Brian Daboll. Even in the rosiest of circumstances, though, Ward supporting three wide receivers in fantasy on a weekly basis is probably asking way too much of him.

Ryan Flournoy
WR - DAL (at WAS)
Ryan Flournoy stepped up in a big way last year as the Dallas Cowboys' No. 3 WR, posting two 100-yard games when CeeDee Lamb missed time. The third-year WR finished 31st in yards per route run (1.82, 16th in this rank over his last five games) and 13th in 1st downs per route run, showcasing his efficiency. "Flo" might not have much standalone value when everybody on Dallas is healthy, but there's clearly upside appeal that he can deliver when called upon if Lamb or George Pickens misses time in 2026. The rare WR upside handcuff.

Jacksonville Jaguars
DST - JAC (at IND)
Week 1? Home versus the Cleveland Browns. The Jags finished second in interceptions in 2025 (22) after posting the third-lowest INT rate in 2024. They made a sneaky leap last year by leading the NFL in passes defended. As one of the league's premier "pass-funnels," the Jags DST has boom potential with a salivating Week 1 matchup. But be warned that they might be extremely feast or famine as the 21st-ranked defense in the 2026 projections. Jacksonville's defensive interior ranked second-lowest in pass-rush productivity across the NFL in 2025 - resulting in an underwhelming sack total (27th).

193.
Cameron Dicker
K - LAC (at DEN)
Last year, Cameron Dicker was the K6 in fantasy points per game, and he could be a top-three option in 2026 if the Chargers offense can be as good as we all hope. Last year, he was fourth in field goal attempts and sixth-best in field goal % made, but he was only 16th in extra point attempts. That number could climb into the top five if the Bolts' offense can bump up his ceiling and floor with more extra point opportunities.
|
|
194.
Los Angeles Chargers
DST - LAC (at DEN)
The Chargers will take on the Arizona Cardinals and the Las Vegas Raiders to start the year. Best schedule for any DST. Draft them and start the Bolts with confidence through the first two weeks of the 2026 season.
|
|
195.
Ka'imi Fairbairn
K - HOU (vs . TEN)
Last year, Ka'imi Fairbairn was the K1 in fantasy points per game. He could easily repeat this feat in 2026. Last year, he was 23rd in extra point attempts, but he was tied for the league lead with 48 field goal attempts. I could see each of those numbers evening out some, but Houston's stellar defense will create plenty of short fields for Fairbairn to have field goal attempts. Last year, he was eighth in field goal % made.
|
|
196.
Cam Little
K - JAC (at IND)
Cam Little was the K9 last year in fantasy points per game, and I could easily see him outperforming that in 2026. Yes, Jacksonville will have to field one of the best offenses in the NFL for that to happen, but considering how they closed the 2025 season, I'm not betting against that. Last year, Little was 14th in field goal % made, third in extra point attempts, and tenth in field goal attempts.

Jacoby Brissett
QB - ARI (vs . SF)
After Kyler Murray sustained what proved to be a season-ending foot injury early last season, Jacoby Brissett took over as the Cardinals starting quarterback for the final 12 games of the year. While the Cardinals won only one of Brissett's starts, Brissett pumped life into the Arizona passing game, averaging 288 passing yards per start and throwing 23 TD passes and eight interceptions. Heavy passing volume helped. Brissett averaged 40.3 pass attempts per start, and the Cardinals led the NFL in pass attempts. Brissett is expected to open the 2026 season as the Cardinals' starter, although Arizona drafted Carson Beck at the top of the third round. The Cardinals have a nice set of pass catchers with TE Trey McBride and WRs Marvin Harrison Jr and Michael Wilson. But with the Cardinals' passing volume likely to regress, and with the likelihood that Beck gets an audition at some point this season, Brissett is a risky fantasy play for anyone inclined to chase his 2025 numbers.
|
|
199.
Baltimore Ravens
DST - BAL (vs . PIT)
With new HC Jesse Minter leading a healthier Ravens defense against an easier schedule, I'd project Baltimore to get back into the top-tier DST conversation. The cupcake schedule to open 2026 also benefits them greatly: Colts, Saints, Cowboys, Titans, Falcons and Browns. Draft that Ravens DST has the second-easiest schedule through the first six weeks of the year (top-5 in the FantasyPros SOS overall).
|
|
200.
Kenyon Sadiq
TE - NYJ (at BUF)
The 16th overall pick of this year's NFL Draft, Kenyon Sadiq offers an athletic profile that few if any tight ends can match. Sadiq ran a 4.39 at the combine and had a 431/2-inch vertical jump. Sadiq's college production profile at Oregon wasn't quite as dazzling. He topped out at 51 catches, 560 receiving yards and eight touchdowns last year as a junior, averaging an uninspiring 1.62 yards per route run, according to PFF. The Jets aren't expected to have a very good passing attack this year with Geno Smith as the starting quarterback. Sadiq will have to compete for targets with Garrett Wilson, fellow rookie Omar Cooper Jr. and fellow TE Mason Taylor. It's possible Sadiq's athleticism helps him become impactful right away, but more likely he's a play for the future. Profiling as a low-end TE2 or high-end TE3, Sadiq will be undraftable in most redraft leagues.

Jason Myers
K - SEA (at LAR)
Last year, Jason Myers was the K2 in fantasy points per game. He was 20th in field goal % made, but he was first in field goal attempts and fifth in extra point attempts. The Seattle offense could take a small step back this season in efficiency, but that could create more field goal attempts for Myers. He should be considered a top-five option for fantasy.
|
|
203.
Jaylin Noel
WR - HOU (vs . TEN)
Jaylin Noel barely made an impact statistically as a rookie, but Houston always viewed him as more of a long-term option behind its veteran receivers. With Christian Kirk now gone, Noel has a realistic path to a much larger offensive role after flashing whenever he received extended playing time in 2025. He was Pro Football Focus' (PFF) seventh-highest graded returner on 72 combined kick/punt returns in 2025. He flashed on multiple occasions as a receiver in Year 1. In the games where Noel ran at least 17 routes, he averaged almost four receptions per game. However, Tank Dell's return creates some overlap, as does Noel's own injury he is working through at the start of training camp.

Pat Bryant
WR - DEN (vs . LAC)
Pat Bryant quietly carved out a larger role as his rookie season progressed, giving Denver reason to believe he can contribute more in Year 2. The former third-round pick earned increased playing time late in the season and showed flashes of reliability before an injury cut short his playoff run. The addition of Jaylen Waddle limits Bryant's path to major target volume, but he still projects as the favorite for the Broncos' No. 3 WR role entering 2026. In deeper formats, Bryant profiles as more of a depth stash tied to offensive growth rather than standalone volume.

T.J. Hockenson
TE - MIN (vs . CHI)
T.J. Hockenson isn't on my radar for 2026. Last season, he was the TE25 in fantasy points per game, and I don't foresee a bounce-back season coming for Hockenson with the signing of Jauan Jennings and Kyler Murray playing quarterback. Last year, among 54 qualifying tight ends, Hockenson was 20th in target share, 26th in receiving yards per game, 44th in yards per route run, 27th in first-read share, and 40th in first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Hockenson is an avoid for me in all formats.
|
|
209.
Isaac TeSlaa
WR - DET (at GB)
Isaac TeSlaa barely saw the field as a rookie, but he flashed intriguing upside by turning just 16 receptions into six touchdowns. Detroit clearly believes in the former third-round pick after trading up for him in 2025, and Dan Campbell has already hinted at a potential Year 2 leap. With Kalif Raymond gone, TeSlaa has a clear path to the Lions' No. 3 WR role behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams. He's still more dynasty/deep-league upside stash than reliable redraft option, but the athletic traits and red-zone usage are worth monitoring closely.
|
|
210.
James Conner
RB - ARI (vs . SF)
James Conner is a nice final-round flier in fantasy drafts right now. I still think Conner could get traded prior to Week 1, with Detroit and Green Bay being the likely destinations. Conner only had 32 carries last season before getting sidelined for the rest of the season with a broken ankle. In that small sample, he posted a 19% missed tackle rate, which is quite strong (per Fantasy Points Data). We are only one season removed from Conner posting an RB15 finish in fantasy points per game (2024). In 2024, among 46 qualifying backs, Conner ranked sixth in explosive run rate, second in missed tackle rate, and 11th in yards after contact per attempt. Conner could easily still be an efficient per-touch player in 2026 in the right system. Take the last-round flier and see if it pays off. If he remains buried on the Arizona depth chart, then he's an easy cut candidate prior to Week 1.
|
|
211.
Kansas City Chiefs
DST - KC (vs . LV)
The Chiefs have the third-easiest schedule to start the year (easiest through first four weeks). Gives ample time for Patrick Mahomes to be brought up to speed (also has a bye in Week 5) and for the defense to prove it's worth. KC added to its defensive line this offseason but lost key secondary pieces, suggesting they face a surplus of pass attempts in 2026. They also finished 30th in opponent fumbles and last in non-offensive TDs (0). Week 1 is at home versus Denver, followed by matchups versus Indy, Miami and Las Vegas.
|
|
212.
Green Bay Packers
DST - GB (vs . DET)
The Packers didn't win a game after losing edge rusher Micah Parsons last season. Until he returns, it's hard to be overly bullish on this DST to start the year. 24th in the projections.
|
|
213.
Tyler Loop
K - BAL (vs . PIT)
The Ravens' Tyler Loop finished 12th in fantasy scoring last season as a rookie, averaging 8.5 fantasy points a game. Loop hit 30-of-34 field goals last season. He missed only one FG attempt from inside 50 yards but was only 1-of-4 from 50 yards or longer. Loop hit 44-of-46 extra points. The Ravens tied for 14th in FG attempts last year. With better health for star QB Lamar Jackson, who missed four games last season and appeared to be less than 100% in others, the Ravens could present Loop with more scoring opportunities in his second NFL season.
|
|
214.
Eddy Pineiro
K - SF (at ARI)
Eddy Pineiro is an awesome fantasy option at kicker. Last year, he was second-best in field goal made % and he should have plenty of opportunities for field goals and extra points this season if the 49ers can keep their skill players healthy. Last year, Pineiro was the K6 in fantasy points per game.
|
|
215.
Jaydon Blue
RB - DAL (at WAS)
Jaydon Blue was the preseason/training camp hype darling last season. That amounted to only five games of NFL action for him in 2025 and only a throwaway game in Week 18, where he saw more than 15 snaps. Blue could be the RB2 on the Dallas depth chart this season behind Javonte Williams, but I don't see him as a threat to Williams' workload. Last year, Blue only generated a 2.6% explosive run rate, an 11% missed tackle rate, and 1.58 yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). None of those numbers are impressive, but if we want to take the glass half-full approach, it was from a 38-carry sample. Blue is on the low-end of the handcuff tier with plenty of options standing out above him in the later rounds.

Troy Franklin
WR - DEN (vs . LAC)

217.
Darnell Mooney
WR - NYG (vs . PHI)
Darnell Mooney could quietly emerge as an important veteran presence in the Giants' offense after reuniting with OC Matt Nagy in New York on a one-year deal. Injuries derailed his 2025 season in Atlanta, but Mooney still brings proven downfield ability and prior 1,000-yard production to a WR room searching for stability behind Malik Nabers. His vertical skill set meshes well with Jaxson Dart's aggressive style of play, and he should compete for meaningful snaps early in the season while Nabers works his way back. Among the Giants' veteran receivers, Mooney offers the most fantasy intrigue entering 2026.
|
|
218.
Cairo Santos
K - CHI (at MIN)
The Bears have an ascendant offense under second-year head coach Ben Johnson, giving Bears kicker Cairo Santos some fantasy appeal for 2026. Santos tied for 15th among kickers in fantasy points per game last season with 8.8. The 34-year-old kicker's field goal accuracy has waned in recent years. Santos converted 91.1 of his FG attempts over a four-year span from 2020 to 2023, but he's hit just 83.6% of his field goals over the last two seasons. Fantasy managers should also consider that Santos plays his home games in Chicago's Soldier Field, where weather often becomes a factor late in the season.

Jaylen Wright
RB - MIA (at NE)

220.
Evan McPherson
K - CIN (vs . CLE)
Evan McPherson is tied to one of the best offenses in the NFL. Cincy should have no issues moving the ball this year if Joe Burrow stays healthy. Their improved defense could allow McPherson some short fields for field goal opportunities. Last year, McPherson was 12th in field goal % made.
|
|
221.
Pat Freiermuth
TE - PIT (at BAL)
Pat Freiermuth was the Steelers' best pass-catching tight end last season, but that didn't mean much, as Freiermuth finished with 41 catches for 486 yards and four touchdowns. He finished TE24 in half-point PPR fantasy scoring. The Steelers' offensive coordinator last season, Arthur Smith, rotated his tight ends, and Freiermuth had a career-low 51% snap share last year. Freiermuth has topped 60 catches in three of his five NFL seasons, and he's squarely in his prime at age 27. If new Steelers head coach Mike McCathy and new offensive coordinator Brian Angelichio make Freiermuth a bigger part of the Pittsburgh offense than he was under Smith last year, the veteran tight end could surprise.
|
|
222.
Keenan Allen
WR - IND (vs . JAC)
Keenan Allen signed a one-year deal with the Colts, after they had expressed interest in bringing in a veteran WR who was familar with Indy's HC, Shane Steichen. Allen played all 17 games last season for the Chargers, leading the team with 122 targets (81 catches for 777 yards and 4 TDs) as the WR34. But it remains to be seen if the 34-year-old can command high volume, without built-in rapport with Colts QB1 Daniel Jones. Allen's production also nose-dived in the second half of the 2025 season. The veteran was WR56 in PPG in half-PPR from Weeks 8-18 (5.3 PPG). He was a top-15 WR through the first 7 weeks. As most older WRs tend to operate, Allen's fantasy production will most-likely be front-loaded, especially if Alec Pierce continues to miss time rehabbing.
|
|
223.
Gunnar Helm
TE - TEN (at HOU)
Second-year man Gunnar Helm sits atop the Titans' depth chart at tight end now that veteran Chig Okonkwo has moved on to Washington via free agency. A fourth-round pick out of the University Of Texas, Helm turned in a solid if unspectacular rookie season, catching 44 passes for 357 yards and two touchdown in an offense that struggled for much of the season. Helm caught 80% of his targets and averaged a respectable 1.45 yards per route run. Titans QB Cam Ward had a rough rookie season overall but played much better late in the season. If Ward can continue to make strides, Helm could become a fantasy-viable TE option in 2026.
|
|
224.
Jake Bates
K - DET (at GB)
Lions kicker Jake Bates has one of the strongest legs in the NFL, and he plays for a team that can really pile on the points. Bates has led the NFL in extra points in each of the last two seasons, making 64 of them in 2024 and 54 of them in 2025. Perhaps the worst thing about having Bates as your fantasy kicker is that Lions head coach Dan Campbell is hyper-aggressive about going for it on fourth down, which robs Bates of some FG attempts. But Campbell is also willing to let his kicker try some long-range bombs. Bates was 4-of-9 on FG attempts from 50 yards or longer last season, and two of the misses were from 67 and 65 yards.
|
|
225.
Andy Borregales
K - NE (vs . MIA)
Native Venezuelan Andres "Andy" Borregales tied for 15th in fantasy scoring as a rookie, making 27-of-32 field goals and 53-of-55 extra points. The Patriots should once again have a solid offense, with young star QB Drake Maye at quarterback and new arrival AJ Brown upgrading New England's WR corps. Borregales finished second in extra-point attempts last year behind only Jake Bates. The Patriots will have a tougher schedule in 2026 than they had in 2025 and if Borregales has fewer extra points and more field goals this season, he could crack the top 10 in fantasy scoring at the position.
|
|
226.
Detroit Lions
DST - DET (at GB)
The Lions have the easiest schedule in the NFL (specifically through the first 5 weeks of the season). With them also due to experience positive injury regression on the defensive side of the ball, they are an easy sleeper DST to snag with your last pick. Generated the 4th-most passes defended last year (but just 13 interceptions) and a top-10 defense according to DVOA. Also dropped the second-most interceptions (9).
|
|
227.
Aaron Rodgers
QB - PIT (at BAL)
Aaron Rodgers is only on my draft radar in Superflex formats after finishing as the QB23 in fantasy points per game last year. Rodgers had only four games last year in weekly scoring as a QB1. Among 38 qualifying quarterbacks last year, Rodgers had the tenth-fewest yards per attempt, the second-lowest aDOT, and 65.4% of his passing yards came after the catch (most among the QBs in this sample). Rodgers also had the 12th-fewest fantasy points per dropback. Even with a head coaching change and the addition of Michael Pittman Jr. this offseason, I don't see Rodgers reverting back to a top 12-15 fantasy quarterback in 2026.
|
|
228.
Harrison Mevis
K - LAR (vs . SEA)
Harrison Mevis joined the Rams midway through the 2025 season and earned the trust of his team, making 12-of-13 FG attempts and 39-of-39 extra points in the regular season, then going 6-of-6 on field goals and 9-of-9 on extra points in three playoff games. The 6-0, 245-pound Mevis has a beefy build that earned him the nickname "The Thiccer Kicker." If Mevis continues to be accurate, he should have a chance to rack up a lot of points for the Rams, who currently have the shortest odds to win the Super Bowl. The Rams have a high-powered offense directed by head coach Sean McVay, and the addition of Myles Garrett gives the Rams a fearsome defense. Mevis is a compelling option in 2026 fantasy drafts.
|
|
229.
Buffalo Bills
DST - BUF (vs . NYJ)
Through the first five weeks of the season, the Bills have the second-most difficult schedule. Under a new DC and defensive scheme, it might take some time for this unit to gel in 2026.
|
|
230.
Chase McLaughlin
K - TB (at NO)
The Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin ranked seventh in kicker scoring last year after ranking sixth in 2025. McLaughlin made 32-of-38 FG tries last year, an 84.2 conversion rate, but he had converted at 93.5% and 93.8% in 2023 and 2024, respectively. The 30-year-old McLaughlin has hit 119-of-122 extra points over the last three years. Some fantasy managers might appreciate having a warm-weather kicker whose home games are in Florida and whose only potential cold-weather games are Week 9 in Chicago and Week 14 in Baltimore.
|
|
231.
Antonio Williams
WR - WAS (vs . DAL)
Antonio Williams is a sneaky Day 2 value who projects into an immediate slot role in Washington's offense. The former Clemson standout broke out at 19 and has consistently flashed strong efficiency (2.27 YPRR in 2025) despite battling injuries and an underwhelming team environment. Williams' slot-heavy usage, versatility on special teams, and strong production profile make him a strong late-round sleeper in PPR formats. However, the team's addition of Stefon Diggs clouds Williams' Year 1 projection
|

Cleveland Browns
DST - CLE (at CIN)
No Myles Garrett or DC Jim Schwartz? No thanks. 17th in the projections.

233.
Geno Smith
QB - NYJ (at BUF)
Geno Smith is a viable late-round quarterback flier for 2026. Last year was tough for Smith, as he was the QB27 in fantasy points per game with only two weeks as a QB1 in weekly fantasy scoring. Smith has always been a pressure-sensitive quarterback, and last year was no different. When he was pressured, he had the fourth-lowest passer rating (19th from a clean pocket, per PFF). Behind what looks like a strong Jets' offensive line, this should be a year for Smith to see plenty of clean pockets. With a ton of skill talent around him with Breece Hall, Garrett Wilson, Adonai Mitchell, Omar Cooper Jr., and Kenyon Sadiq, Smith should have a strong QB2 season with some streaming upside and late-round appeal in Superflex formats.
|
|
234.
Zachariah Branch
WR - ATL (at CAR)
Zachariah Branch enters Atlanta with a clear opportunity to carve out an immediate role behind Drake London in a thin Falcons WR room. The explosive rookie thrives with the ball in his hands, leading the nation in screen targets while showcasing elite open-field ability and dynamic YAC skills. His fit alongside Tua Tagovailoa makes plenty of sense stylistically, especially in an offense that could manufacture touches for him early. Although his smaller frame may cap his ceiling, Branch has intriguing upside if he can quickly secure the Falcons' No. 2 WR role.

Cade Otton
TE - TB (at NO)
Cade Otton has had 59 receptions in each of the last two seasons. He finished with 572 receiving yards and one touchdown last year, leading to a TE25 fantasy finish. Otton has had spurts of serious fantasy value in the past, usually when one or more of the Bucs' top pass catchers were hurt. When Buccaneers WRs Mike Evans and Chris Godwin both went down with significant injuries in Week 7 of 2024, Otton had 30 catches for 293 yards and three touchdowns over a four game stretch. In Otton's other 10 games that season, he had 29 catches for 307 yards and one touchdown. With Evans now in San Francisco, perhaps Otton will play a bigger role in the Tampa Bay offense this year. But Otton profiles as no more than a high-end TE3 and isn't draftable in most fantasy leagues.

Germie Bernard
WR - PIT (at BAL)
Germie Bernard profiles as a better real-life fit than fantasy target entering the NFL, landing behind established veterans DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. in Pittsburgh. The former Alabama receiver offers versatility, toughness, and strong YAC ability, which should help him earn snaps early, particularly from the slot. However, Year 1 fantasy expectations should remain modest given the crowded depth chart and uncertainty surrounding Pittsburgh's quarterback situation. The second-round pick feels more like a long-term depth stash than an immediate-impact rookie, although his well-rounded skill set gives him a relatively safe floor.

Kaelon Black
RB - SF (at ARI)
Kaelon Black looks to have an early edge to climb into the clear RB2 spot on the 49ers' depth chart behind Christian McCaffrey, with Jordan James now dealing with a rib fracture. James sustained the injury in Monday's practice. Isaac Guerendo has had his own injury demons to deal with during his NFL career and has seemingly fallen down the depth chart with the team drafting James and Black in back-to-back years. I wasn't in love with Black as a prospect as a rusher who failed to finish inside the top 40 FBS backs last year in yards after contact per attempt, breakaway rate, or elusive rating (per PFF). He'll be climbing up my ranks, though, into the clear handcuff tier because, as we've seen over the years, Christian McCaffrey's health is never a certainty.
|
|
243.
Chris Boswell
K - PIT (at BAL)
Chris Boswell finished ninth in kicker fantasy scoring last year, even though he wasn't quite as accurate on field goals as usual. Boswell has posted a field goal conversion rate of better than 90% in five of the last seven years, but he was only at 84.4% last year, making 27-of-34 FG tries. Pittsburgh's Acrisure Stadium, formerly known as Heinz Field, has long been regarded as a tough place to kick, but Boswell has been reliable enough to stick with the Steelers for 11 seasons. The Pittsburgh offense might not be especially potent this season with 42-year-old Aaron Rodgers at quarterback, but new Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy has been accused in the past of being too willing to settle for field goals - potentially good news for Boswell stakeholders.

245.
Harrison Butker
K - KC (vs . LV)
Harrison Butker has become a less dependable fantasy kicker in recent years. It's not because Butker has been substantially less accurate. It's because the Kansas City offense has been scoring fewer touchdowns in recent years, giving Butker fewer freebie extra points. In Butker's first five seasons, from 2017 to 2021, he averaged 3.0 extra points per game. In 2022 and 2023, Butker averaged 2.5 extra points per game. In 2024 and 2025, Butker averaged 2.0 extra points a game. Butker's yearly finished in fantasy points per game among kickers: second, sixth, second, 13th, ninth, 20th, 10th, 26th, 15th. The Chiefs offense might not be among the NFL's most explosive in 2026 with Patrick Mahomes coming off a major knee injury. Consider Butker a second-tier kicker option.

Greg Dulcich
TE - MIA (at NE)
Greg Dulcich could emerge as the 2026 fantasy football sleeper. Flashed with Miami in the second half of the season (second in YPPR among TEs from Week 9 onward), posting his best statistical season after battling injuries since his rookie campaign. The impending free agent finished second among all TEs in YAC/catch - trailing only Tucker Kraft. Worth monitoring now that he is officially returning to Miami, given his rookie year breakout coincided with former Broncos TE coach and current Cardinals TE coach, Jake Moreland, who has previously coached under new Dolphins OC, Bobby Slowik (Miami's passing game coordinator in 2025). Not to mention, the Dolphins' new HC just came from GB, so he clearly knows what a YAC tight end can offer for an offense.

Ted Hurst III
WR - TB (at NO)
Ted Hurst is one of the more intriguing Day 2 receivers from the 2026 class after dominating at multiple collegiate stops and testing like a true NFL athlete. The Buccaneers landed a size-speed prospect with legitimate downfield chops, as Hurst led the FBS in deep-ball production while showcasing strong contested-catch ability and red-zone upside. Tampa Bay offers a realistic path to early playing time with Mike Evans gone, giving Hurst an opportunity to compete for outside snaps immediately. He may be somewhat raw entering the league, but the athletic profile, target-earning ability, and landing spot make Hurst an appealing upside bet for both dynasty and deeper redraft formats.

Malachi Fields
WR - NYG (vs . PHI)
Malachi Fields lands in an intriguing spot with the Giants after being selected in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft. The 6-foot-5 receiver brings size and downfield ability to New York's offense, flashing strong ball skills and separation ability throughout the pre-draft process despite a disappointing Combine 40 time. Fields profiles as a strong fit alongside Jaxson Dart given his vertical play style, and Malik Nabers' injury could open the door for early-season opportunities. He's an intriguing rookie stash with upside if he earns immediate snaps during training camp.

Fernando Mendoza
QB - LV (at KC)
The No. 1 pick in this year's NFL Draft, Fernando Mendoza might sit behind veteran Kirk Cousins early in the season, but it shouldn't be long before the 2025 Heisman Trophy winner takes over as the Raiders' starter. Mendoza completed 72.0% of his passes last season, averaged 9.3 yards per pass attempt, and threw for 41 touchdowns in 16 games while leading Indiana to an undefeated season and the National Championship. Mendoza has an NFL-caliber arm and terrific ball placement. A student of the game, Mendoza is cool under fire. His functional mobility probably won't translate to much rushing value at the NFL level, although Mendoza could score a few rushing touchdowns every year. Matt Ryan seems like a reasonable comp for Mendoza based on their tools and style of play. We might not see much of a fantasy impact from the rookie in Year 1, particularly when the Raiders are so short on pass-catching firepower beyond TE Brock Bowers, but we can't rule out a fantasy-relevant rookie season for Mendoza.

Chris Bell
WR - MIA (at NE)
Chris Bell's rookie season outlook is tied heavily to his recovery timeline after suffering an ACL injury late in 2025, but Miami offers a strong long-term landing spot given the lack of pass-catching depth. The former Louisville standout brings legitimate alpha traits and was one of college football's premier target earners before getting hurt. Miami can afford to be patient, potentially setting Bell up for a larger role once healthy in an offense lacking long-term answers at receiver. He's a better dynasty investment than immediate redraft target, though his upside remains appealing if he returns to full strength quickly (activated off the NFI list on Aug 17).

Najee Harris
RB - NYG (vs . PHI)
Last year, we only got a brief glimpse of Najee Harris after a Fourth of July fireworks incident where he injured one of his eyes, and then, unfortunately, he tore his Achilles during the season. With Harris's 15-carry sample last year, he did post a stellar 3.33 yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). Harris lands with the Giants on a one-year deal to compete for work with Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy. Harris is reunited with Greg Roman, who he worked with last year while with the Bolts, and there's a Harbaugh connection, although he was John's brother in 2025. I would be surprised if John didn't speed dial Jim before his Giants' contract was signed. In 2024, Harris finished as the RB25 in fantasy points per game with 299 touches and 1,326 total yards. During that season, among 46 qualifying backs, Harris ranked 15th in missed tackle rate and 27th in yards after contact per attempt. Harris is a decent late-round flier in drafts who could be the preferred handcuff behind Cam Skattebo, with the upside to challenge him for the lead back job if he is all the way back from his injuries last season.

Tyquan Thornton
WR - KC (vs . LV)
Tyquan Thornton re-signed with the Chiefs on a two-year deal worth $11 million. This is notable given that only Xavier Worthy and Jalen Royals were the other Chiefs WRs under contract for the 2027 season.
The speedy wide receiver had his most productive season in the NFL last year, catching 19 passes for 438 yards and three touchdowns (on nearly 1,000 air yards and 23 deep targets). He stepped up at the start of the year due to Worthy's injury and Rashee Rice's suspension. Over the first 5 weeks of the year, Thornton averaged 10.3 fantasy points per game. His 2025 yardage and touchdown totals set new career-highs, and he averaged 23.1 yards per reception (first in the NFL). Also had zero recorded drops. |

264.
Wil Lutz
K - DEN (vs . LAC)
Will Lutz has been steady in his three seasons with the Broncos, making 89.0% of his field goals and 98.3% of his extra points over that span. Unfortunately, Lutz has not been awash in field goal opportunities since coming to Denver, with the Broncos ranking 14th, 16th and 19th in FG attempts the last three seasons. Lutz has finished 22nd, eighth and 16th in fantasy scoring among kickers over that span.

265.
Elijah Sarratt
WR - BAL (vs . PIT)
2026 4th-rounder Elijah Sarratt may have been overshadowed by Baltimore's earlier selection of Ja'Kobi Lane, but the former Indiana receiver offers an intriguing pathway to Year 1 relevance. Sarratt enters a crowded, run-heavy offense, yet his strong production profile, early breakout age, and red-zone skill set could help him carve out a role quickly if Mark Andrews continues declining. The Ravens already have their No.1 WR in Zay Flowers, so expectations should remain tempered, but Sarratt's ability to win contested catches and earn targets gives him sleeper appeal. Among Baltimore's rookie receivers, he might be the better value bet relative to cost.

Will Reichard
K - MIN (vs . CHI)
Will Reichard had a strong showing for the Vikings in his second NFL season, finishing sixth in fantasy scoring among kickers and averaging 9.4 fantasy points per game. Reichard missed only two kicks all season, converting 33-of-35 field goals and 31-of-31 extra points. Both of the misses came from 50 yards or longer. The Vikings offense could be more potent this season is the team gets better quarterbacking, and that seems like a given considering how problematic the QB position was for Minnesota in 2025. Reichard also gets to play his home games in a dome, which is a bonus. Reichard could be a sneaky-good fantasy option.

274.
Tua Tagovailoa
QB - ATL (at CAR)
The Falcons signed Tua Tagovailoa to a cheap one-year deal after he was released by the Dolphins, who still owe him $54 million in guaranteed money. After averaging 269.2 passing yards per game for the Dolphins over 41 starts from 2022 through 2024, Tua averaged 190.0 passing yards over 14 starts in Miami last season. He also threw a career-high 15 interceptions and fumbled eight times. Tua will battle Michael Penix Jr. for playing time in 2026 and should probably be considered the favorite to start in Week 1 since Penix tore his ACL in November. Tua can't match the arm strength of Penix, but Tua has enjoyed a level of NFL success than Penix has yet to reach, helping to make Mike McDaniel's offense work in Miami. For fantasy, Tua figures to go undrafted in 1QB leagues this season but is a reasonable QB3 option in superflex formats.

Eli Stowers
TE - PHI (at NYG)
The Eagles took Eli Stowers in the second round of this year's NFL Draft, 54th overall. Stowers won the John Mackey Award last year as the best tight end in college football, finishing his senior year at Vanderbilt with 62 catches for 769 yards and four touchdowns. Stowers had a 27% target rate last year and averaged an impressive 2.55 yards per route run. And like fellow rookie TE Kenyon Sadiq, Stowers is an athletic marvel. Stowers ran a 4.51 at the combine, and the former Texas state high school high-jump champion had a vertical jump of 451/2 inches. The 6-4, 239-pound Stowers might not be heavy enough to play as an in-line tight end, which could potentially limit his snaps. It's hard to project big things for Stowers in his rookie year when his usage and role are uncertain, but his athleticism and college production suggest he's capable of big things sooner or later.

Cyrus Allen
WR - KC (vs . LV)
Cyrus Allen might be one of the more interesting deep sleeper receivers from the 2026 class after landing in Kansas City. The former Bearcats wideout has quietly produced everywhere he has played, showcasing strong target-earning ability, separation skills, and positional versatility across multiple stops. With long-term uncertainty surrounding several Chiefs pass-catchers, Allen has a realistic pathway to eventually carving out a meaningful role in the offense. He remains a long-shot Day 3 prospect for redraft leagues, but dynasty managers looking for cheap upside should keep him firmly on the radar.

Atlanta starts the year at Pittsburgh and at home versus the Panthers. Decent spot for an underrated unit that was a fringe top 12 unit in 2025. However without LB Jalon Walker and second-year EDGE rusher James Pearce Jr., it's more desperation. After the initial projections loved love Atlanta as an underrated unit (second in projected sacks) they have fallen outside the top-10 in projected sacks.

Michael Penix Jr.
QB - ATL (at CAR)
Michael Penix Jr.'s second NFL season came to a premature end when he tore his left ACL against the Panthers in Week 11. Penix tore his right ACL twice during his college career and has to be regarded as a major injury risk going forward. Although the Falcons were 3-6 in his nine 2025 starts, Penix offered a few encouraging signs last year, averaging a respectable 7.2 yards per pass attempt and posting an ultra-low 1.1% interception rate. But Penix threw only nine TD passes in his nine starts. The rocket-armed Penix will have to battle veteran Tua Tagovailoa for playing time in Atlanta this season. Penix isn't draftable in 1QB leagues but is a late-round option in superflex leagues.

293.
Kirk Cousins
QB - LV (at KC)
The Raiders signed veteran QB Kirk Cousins to a two-year deal in the offseason and will let him keep the seat warm for No. 1 draft pick Fernando Mendoza before eventually settling into a backup role. The question is how long Cousins will be the starter. There have been reports that the Raiders - and particularly minority owner Tom Brady - would like Mendoza to have a full redshirt season and not make any starts. The reality is that no quarterback drafted No. 1 has sat out his entire rookie season since Carson Palmer in 2003. Cousins, who'll be 38 this season, averaged just 6.4 yards per pass attempt with the Falcons last season and had fewer than 200 passing yards in six of his eight starts. Cousins is a viable option in superflex leagues only because he's expected to play early in the season.

Shedeur Sanders
QB - CLE (at CIN)
Expected by many to be an early pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Shedeur Sanders fell to the fifth round and was drafted by the Browns, who had already taken QB Dillon Gabriel in the third round. Sanders wound up playing eight games and making six starts. The son of former NFL great Deion Sanders had a rough NFL debut, completing 56.6% of his passes and averaging 6.6 yards per attempt, with seven TD passes, 10 interceptions, and 23 sacks. The Browns, however, didn't provide their quarterbacks with much of a supporting cast last season, as the offensive line struggled and the WR group was among the worst in the league. No more than a late-round option in superflex leagues, Sanders is expected to compete with veteran Deshaun Watson for playing time this season.

Deshaun Watson
QB - CLE (at CIN)
Entering the final year of a burdensome five-year, $230 million contract that has been an albatross around the neck of the Cleveland Browns, Deshaun Watson will compete with second-year man Shedeur Sanders to be the Browns' Week 1 starter. An electric dual-threat quarterback early in his career, Watson has been a flop since being traded to the Browns in 2022. The oft-injured Watson has started only 19 games for Cleveland over the last four seasons. He's averaged just 6.0 yards per pass attempt and 177.1 passing yards per start with the Browns. Watson has at least offered a little bit of rushing value, averaging 24.5 rushing yards per game since the trade. But it's fair to wonder whether that rushing potential still exists after a pair of Achilles tears, the latter of which sidelined Watson for all of 2025. Watson is no more than a late-round option in superflex leagues.

Charlie Smyth
K - NO (vs . TB)
Charlie Smyth is a wonderful flier to take at kicker that could pay off handsomely this year. He was the K6 in fantasy points per game. Sadly, he is in a competition for the starting job in camp, but he could be a big-time winner for fantasy purposes if he nails down the job. Last year, among 37 qualifying kickers, he was 34th in field goal % made, but he was four of six from 50 yards or more. With the Saints' offense exploding down the stretch, Smyth was attempting 2.6 field goals per game, which over an entire season would have amounted to 45 field goals, which would have been third-most in the NFL.

Indianapolis Colts
DST - IND (vs . JAC)
Indy was the DST7 in fantasy points per game last year and could enter the top five this season if their addition of Sauce Gardner can transform their secondary. Gardner was banged up last year after arriving from New York (limited to four games with Indy). He will be a nice jolt to a secondary that was tenth in interceptions last season. He and Charvarius Ward could form one of the best outside corner tandems in the NFL. Last year, Indy was 16th in pressure rate, but if Laiatu Latu takes another step in 2026, they could be top 12.

Darren Waller
TE - CAR (vs . ATL)
Darren Waller was productive as a part-time player for the Dolphins last year and could be in 2026 for the Carolina Panthers. In his nine games played last season, he scored six touchdowns and had three TE1 finishes in weekly scoring. He had only a 53% route share, which probably drops this season as he'll likely split routes with Tommy Tremble and Ja'Tavion Sanders. Last year, among 54 qualifying tight ends, Waller was tenth in target per route run rate, eighth in yards per route run, and third in first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Waller could be a streaming option at various points this season for fantasy, but I wouldn't count on him as anything more than that.

Bryce Lance
WR - NO (vs . TB)
Bryce Lance has the opportunity to crack the Saints' starting lineup coming out of camp now, with the upcoming lengthy absence of Jordyn Tyson as he deals with another hamstring injury. Tyson could be out until Week 7 or 8 of the regular season. Many drafters will automatically gravitate to Devaughn Vele in the final round of their drafts, but I have little interest in Vele. Vele hasn't been able to prove himself to be a consistent target earner, and his 1.34 career yards per route run is middling at best (per PFF). Lance is a blazing-fast field stretcher who can threaten a defense at all three levels. In his final collegiate season, among all FBS/FCS wide receivers with at least 50 targets, he ranked sixth in yards per route run, eighth in yards per reception, and eighth-best in receiving grade. Lance is a fantastic last-round lottery ticket that could pay huge dividends in 2026.

Charlie Kolar could lead the Bolts in snaps at the tight end position, and I wouldn't be surprised this season. Last year, he had very limited playing time behind Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely, but he made the most of his opportunities when on the field. He is arguably the best run blocker that the Bolts have on the roster at tight end after finishing with a 71.5 run-blocking grade last season (per PFF). Among 81 qualifying tight ends, he only had a 93-route sample (18.5% route share), but he ranked 28th in yards per route run and 14th in first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Kolar is a decent late flier in tight end premium formats.

Tyler Bass missed the entire 2025 season with hip and groin injuries that required surgery, but it appears the Bills are planning on Bass being their kicker in 2026. Bass had surgery in November and is reportedly on track with his recovery. Bass was ninth in fantasy scoring among kickers in 2024, making 24-of-29 field goals and 59-of-64 extra points. It's appealing that Bass is tied to the prolific Josh Allen-led Buffalo offense. It's less appealing that Bass might be kicking in cold, windy and/or snowy conditions in Buffalo late in the season.

The Bengals were a wretched defense last year (second-worst in fantasy points per game), but I think they take a massive leap in 2026 with all of their offseason additions. This offseason, they added via trades, free agency, and the NFL Draft Boye Mafe, Dexter Lawrence, Jonathan Allen, Bryan Cook, and Cashius Howell. D.J. Turner remains one of the best shadow corners in the NFL. If the defense comes together like I think it can, they can easily be a top ten fantasy defense for 2026.

Trey Smack
K - GB (vs . DET)
Plagued by erratic kicking in recent years, the Packers spent a sixth-round draft pick on University of Florida kicker Trey Smack, who seems to be a near-lock to win Green Bay's kicker job. The Packers have released their 2025 kicker, Brandon McManus. Smack made 53-of-64 field goals (82.8%) in three college seasons with the Gators. Smack has a powerful leg and set a school record by hitting 10 field goals of 50 yards or longer. Two reasons why fantasy managers should be wary of Smack: (1) Packers head coach Matt LaFleur is aggressive in going for it on fourth down, and (2) late-season games in Lambeau Field tend to have suboptimal kicking weather.
