Fantasy Football Player Notes
2026 Half PPR 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.

Ja'Marr Chase
WR - CIN (vs . CLE)
Ja'Marr Chase had another stellar season last year. He was the WR3 in fantasy points per game while finishing sixth in red zone targets and 18th in deep targets (tied). Again this season, Chase will lead an offense that will live and die by their passing game. Last year, Cincy was third in neutral passing rate and fifth in red zone passing rate. I don't see either of those numbers changing much in 2026 with Joe Burrow back under center. Last year, Chase remained a volume and efficiency monster, ranking third in target share (30.2%) and receiving yards per game (88.3), 18th in yards per route run (2.30), 14th in first downs per route run (0.119), and third in first-read share (40.3%, per Fantasy Points Data). Among 109 qualifying receivers, he was ninth in separation score and 23rd in route win rate. Chase has WR1 overall upside again this season.

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)
Last year, Puka Nacua took Ja'Marr Chase's throne as the WR1 in fantasy points per game, and he could repeat as the top dog this year among wide receivers. Last year, Nacua was third in raw target volume, first in receptions, second in receiving yards, 23rd in deep targets, and 12th in red zone targets (tied). Nacua was fourth in target share (28.8%), first in receiving yards per game (107.2), first in yards per route run (3.85), and fourth in first-read share (37.5%, per Fantasy Points Data). If all of that wasn't enough, he was also sixth-best in separation and route win rate. Nacua is a volume-gobbling stud who could easily repeat as the WR1 overall if Matthew Stafford keeps dealing at an MVP (or near) level in 2026.

5.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba
WR - SEA (at LAR)
Last year, Jaxon Smith-Njigba stepped up and put up what might be a career-best season for him when it's all said and done. I'm not saying that he will definitively fall off, but replicating his 2025 season will be tough no matter how you slice it. Last year, he posted the seventh-most receiving yards ever in a single season (1,793) and 119 receptions as the WR2 in fantasy points per game. He had 44.1% of Seattle's receiving yards, which was easily the highest mark in the NFL among receivers by a staggering 6.2%. The next closest was Puka Nacua with 37.9%. Smith-Njigba didn't have any new faces added to this Seattle passing attack in the offseason to threaten his usage at all, and he still has Sam Darnold under center, but we'll have to see how much losing Klint Kubiak impacts this offense. That loss won't tank his season, but it's a concern that has to be brought up. Last year, Smith-Njigba ranked first in target share (32.6%), second in receiving yards per game (105.5), second in yards per route run (3.74), and first in first-read share (44.6%, per Fantasy Points Data). Smith-Njigba is a top 3-5 fantasy receiver with an extremely high ceiling and elite floor.

6.
Amon-Ra St. Brown
WR - DET (at GB)
Amon-Ra St. Brown has been a no-brainer stud WR1 for fantasy football over the last four years. Since 2023, he has finished as the WR4 in fantasy points per game in EVERY season. Yep, it's true. Last season, among 109 qualifying receivers, St. Brown ranked fifth in target share (28.5%), in receiving yards per game (82.4), yards per route run (2.66), and first-read share (37.4%, per Fantasy Points Data). He was also third in first downs per route run and led all receivers in red zone targets. The red zone work should come down some with a healthy Sam LaPorta for 2026, but St. Brown should still finish with double-digit receiving touchdowns for the fourth consecutive season. St. Brown is a high floor/high ceiling pick again in 2026.

|
7.
Christian McCaffrey
RB - SF (at ARI)
Christian McCaffrey came storming back in his age-29 season to finish as the RB1 in fantasy points per game while leading the NFL with 413 touches. He also ranked second in total yards from scrimmage behind only Bijan Robinson. McCaffrey remained amazing through the air, leading backs with a 21.3% target share, 54.4 receiving yards per game, and 0.103 first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). After another high-volume season in the bag, and with his age getting close to the danger zone, McCaffrey feels like a risky pick again that could produce league-winning results if he stays healthy. At this point, San Francisco isn't decreasing his workload. They can talk about it all they want yearly, but it's not happening. Outside of the concerns that I've already stated, McCaffrey's declining rushing efficiency is a worry. Last year, among 49 qualifying backs, McCaffrey ranked 35th in explosive run rate, 26th in missed tackle rate, and 40th in yards after contact per attempt. Those numbers are worrisome, but again, they are thwarted by his volume weekly and his passing game role. McCaffrey could easily post another RB1 overall season in 2026, or he could get dinged up and miss time, thus crushing your team. It's not difficult to see either outcome for this upcoming season.

8.
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.

9.
James Cook III
RB - BUF (vs . NYJ)
Well, so much for all of the regression talk about James Cook last year. Cook crushed all of the haters, improving his stock as the RB6 in fantasy points per game. He led the NFL in rushing yards (1,621) while finishing third in rushing attempts and sixth in rushing touchdowns (tied). Cook had 14 total touchdowns compared to the 18 that he spiked in the previous season. Cook remained extremely efficient as a rusher, ranking 15th in explosive run rate and 11th in yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). His passing game usage was nearly identical to the previous season, with 40 targets (38 targets in 2024) and 8.8 yards per reception (8.1 in 2024). We can quibble about where Cook sits in the RB1 rankings in 2026, but he remains a rock-solid RB1 in one of the best offenses in the NFL.

10.
CeeDee Lamb
WR - DAL (at WAS)
CeeDee Lamb had a "down" year last season as the WR11 in fantasy points per game, but that finish doesn't really tell the entire story of Lamb's season. In Week 3, he played only seven snaps, and in Week 18, he played only 45.5% of the snaps. If we remove those two games, he averaged 16.6 PPR points per game, which would have him as the WR9 in fantasy points per game last season. In that 12-game sample, Lamb drew a 24.8% target share with 89.4 receiving yards per game, 2.51 yards per route run, a 32.3% first-read share, and 0.098 first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Overall, those marks would have ranked 13th, third, ninth, 12th, and 26th among all receivers with at least 200 routes last season. Lamb remains a locked-in WR1 with a stellar quarterback in his prime and George Pickens alongside him to keep defenses honest.

|
11.
Justin Jefferson
WR - MIN (vs . CHI)
Last year, Justin Jefferson had a horrible runout as the WR28 in fantasy points per game (WR14 in expected fantasy points per game). Obviously, a ton of his season was impacted by the level of quarterback play, but Jefferson also slid to 36th in separation score and 38th in route win rate (among 109 qualifying receivers, per Fantasy Points Data). A lot of the blame can fall at the feet of Minny's quarterback room last year, but not all of it, considering the per-route metrics as well as the fact that Jefferson was tied for the sixth-most drops. Yes, he was also 78th in catchable target rate, so 2025 was a mixed bag with some blame on both sides of the aisle. Last year, Jefferson was still sixth in target share (28.5%) and seventh in first-read share (35.1%), so we should all expect the Minnesota passing attack to run through their alpha wide receiver again in 2026. He could easily return to being a top 10 fantasy wideout as he has been every year of his NFL career (outside of 2025), but there's still some risk with Kyler Murray or J.J. McCarthy throwing him the ball this season.

12.
A.J. Brown
WR - NE (vs . MIA)
A.J. Brown has a new home in New England for the foreseeable future. Brown has been a WR1 in fantasy points per game over the last four seasons (WR10, WR12, WR8, WR8), and I don't see that stopping this season. Brown moves from an Eagles offense that was 15th in neutral passing rate to a Patriots' system that was ninth in neutral passing rate and could climb even higher this season with the additions of Brown and Romeo Doubs this offseason. Brown could easily spike a career high in touchdowns this season. Last season, Philly was 32nd in passing rate inside the ten-yard line while the Patriots were 15th. That jump in touchdown fuel (if it all works out) could send him into top five status this season among fantasy receivers. Last year, among 109 qualifying receivers, Brown was ninth in target share (27.5%), 17th in yards per route run (2.23), eighth in first-read share (35%), and 20th in first downs per route run (0.104, per Fantasy Points Data). Brown was also 30th in separation score and 16th in route win rate among the same sample of receivers. While many will worry about Drake Maye spreading the ball around in 2026, I'm not because last year that was related to New England not having an alpha-level receiver like Brown on the depth chart. That isn't the case now. Brown is a strong WR1 with more upside than he's had in previous seasons because of the passing volume floor and ceiling for New England this year.

13.
Chase Brown
RB - CIN (vs . CLE)
Last year, Chase Brown started slowly as the RB34 in fantasy points per game in Weeks 1-5. After that point, he was exactly who fantasy gamers thought they were drafting as the RB6 in fantasy points per game. In Weeks 6-18, among 48 qualifying backs, he ranked 17th in explosive run rate, fifth in yards after contact per attempt, and 16th in missed tackles forced per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). During that span, he averaged 18.2 touches and 100.1 total yards. Brown had to deal with Samaje Perine eating into his workload during Weeks 13-18, but it didn't capsize his production. During that stretch, while he did play 60.5% of the snaps and 71.6% of the snaps in the red zone, he did have 17 red zone carries versus Perine's 13. If Brown can capture more of the red zone work in 2026, his ceiling and floor will be raised considerably from a week-to-week and season-long perspective. Brown is a solid RB1 with top-five upside this season.

14.
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).

15.
Drake London
WR - ATL (at CAR)
I absolutely understand the concern regarding the Falcons' quarterback situation, but that won't stop me from drafting Drake London. London is a bet on talent that I'll continue to make. Despite Michael Penix and Kirk Cousins, London was cooking last year before a PCL injury derailed his season in Week 11. In Weeks 1-10 last year, London was the WR6 in fantasy points per game. During that stretch, he was fourth in target share (30.3%), fourth in receiving yards per game (86.4), sixth in yards per route run (2.74), fifth in first-read share (37.6%), and seventh in first downs per route run (0.135, per Fantasy Points Data). London should be a locked-in WR1 this season with top-five upside if the quarterback situation works itself out.

16.
Nico Collins
WR - HOU (vs . TEN)
Nico Collins has now managed back-to-back-to-back WR1 seasons (WR9, WR8, WR7) in fantasy points per game. It's impressive that Collins has managed to do this despite C.J. Stroud's struggles over the last two years. There's no reason to doubt his ability to do it again this season. Last year, among 109 qualifying receivers, Collins was 15th in target share (23.1%), eighth in receiving yards per game (74.5), fifth in deep targets (24), 16th in first-read share (28.1%), and 19th in first downs per route run (0.105, per Fantasy Points Data). Collins is an easy click in drafts with upside. If Stroud can flash even momentary glimpses of his rookie form in 2026, Collins could enter top five receiver territory this season.
|
|
17.
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.
|
|
18.
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.

|
19.
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.
|
|
20.
Omarion Hampton
RB - LAC (at DEN)
Last year, Omarion Hampton's rookie season was derailed by an ankle injury in Week 5. When he came back, he wasn't close to 100% healthy and had only one game with over a 55% snap rate. Any games after Week 4 last year, I'm just tossing in the trash because that wasn't the "real" Hampton. In 2025, in Weeks 1-4, Hampton averaged 17 touches and 95 total yards as the RB13 in fantasy points per game. In that small sample of games, he posted a 7.4% explosive run rate, a 19% missed tackle rate, and 2.54 yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). If he had kept up that pace the entire year in those three categories, he would have ranked fourth, tenth, and eighth in those categories (minimum 100 carries). Those are impressive numbers and speak to his talent and upside in 2026 as Mike McDaniel's possible bellcow. Hampton also contributed through the air in his first four NFL games with a 10.1% target share, 27.5 receiving yards per game, and 1.12 yards per route run. McDaniel is sure to get Hampton involved through the air after designing offenses of the last three seasons that have ranked third, third, and seventh in target share to the running back position. Yes, I know that Hampton isn't De'Von Achane, but this is still a feather in Hampton's cap. Hampton should be a rock-solid RB1 with massive upside in 2026.

|
21.
Chris Olave
WR - NO (vs . TB)
Last season, Chris Olave had easily the most productive season of his NFL career, as the WR7 in fantasy points per game. Olave spiked a career-high nine receiving touchdowns and proved yet again that he should be mentioned in the same breath as the most talented receivers in the NFL. Among 109 qualifying receivers, Olave was tenth in target share (27.2%), ninth in receiving yards per game (72.7), 19th in yards per route run (2.09), ninth in first-read share (33.8%) ,and 28th in first downs per route run (0.095, per Fantasy Points Data). Olave will again be Tyler Shough's unquestioned WR1 in what we expect to be an ascending offense. Olave is a locked-in WR1 for 2026 who could take another step if Shough progresses. Jordyn Tyson's latest hamstring injury will linger into the regular season, which bumps Olave a tad bit further up the WR1 ranks.

22.
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.

23.
George Pickens
WR - DAL (at WAS)
Last season was a monster breakout season for George Pickens as the WR5 in fantasy points per game. His splits with CeeDee Lamb out and active were dramatic, but that doesn't mean that Pickens wasn't awesome in both realms. With Lamb in the huddle, Pickens averaged 15 fantasy points per game versus 24.2 with him out. Across that entire season with Lamb, that would have made Pickens the WR11 in fantasy points per game, and without him, he would have been the WR1 in fantasy points per game. With Lamb, Pickens had a 20.2% target share with 2.24 yards per route run, 77.1 receiving yards per game, a 25.2% first-read share, and 0.116 first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Without Lamb, those numbers jumped to a 23.6% target share, 3.14 yards per route run, 106.8 receiving yards per game, a 34.1% first-read share, and 0.154 first downs per route run. No matter how you slice it, Pickens was elite last year, and he should be a WR1 again this season in a pass-first Dallas offense.

24.
Ashton Jeanty
RB - LV (at KC)
Ashton Jeanty is dealing with a sprained ankle. The news came out over the weekend that he sustained a leg injury, and some fears were that it could be a season-ending knee injury. A sprained ankle can still be problematic for Jeanty's 2026 outlook, but it also might not put much of a dent in it if it's more of the low or mild variety. Now that we have that injury news out of the way, let's discuss last season for Jeanty and what his 2026 could look like. 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.

25.
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.

26.
DeVonta Smith
WR - PHI (at NYG)
DeVonta Smith steps into the clear WR1 chair for the Philly passing attack. Over the last two years, in a VERY small sample, Smith has proven that he can handle it. In three games since 2024, without A.J. Brown on the field, Smith has commanded a 32.9% target share while producing 2.65 yards per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Yes, I know the sample is tiny, but it is signal that Smith can command WR1-level volume and remain efficient while doing so. Last year, among 109 qualifying receivers, Smith was also 27th in separation and 28th in route win rate. Last year, Smith also drew a 22.7% target share while producing 2.03 yards per route run (22nd) and 0.089 first downs per route run (32nd). I expect all of those marks to improve in 2026 with Smith leading the way for Philly. He's a WR1/2 with some upside and an extremely high floor.

27.
Malik Nabers
WR - NYG (vs . PHI)
Last year, before he was lost to a torn ACL (with subsequent meniscus damage), Malik Nabers was the WR9 in fantasy points per game. In Weeks 1-3, he drew a 26.4% target share with 83.7 receiving yards per game, 2.15 yards per route run, and a 41.5% first-read share (per Fantasy Points Data). Those are all elite WR1 per game numbers no matter how you slice it. The worry surrounding Nabers this season is the recovery from the devastating knee injury. The early returns in camp have been positive. Nabers looks good from the few practice routes I have seen, displaying good acceleration off the line and precision with his route breaks. There are also concerns with Matt Nagy's hiring as the new offensive coordinator for the Giants. I'm willing to buy into Nabers at his ADP with more and more positive reports coming out. I don't plan on being overweight on him this season across my leagues, but he has moved from my do-not-draft list to a player I'm willing to absorb the risk depending upon my team build.

Zay Flowers
WR - BAL (vs . PIT)
Last year, Zay Flowers posted career-best marks across the board with 86 receptions, 1,211 receiving yards, and a WR12 finish in fantasy points per game. It was amazing to see for a player who also ranked eighth in target share (27.7%), 11th in receiving yards per game (71.2), seventh in yards per route run (2.61), and tenth in first-read share (33.3%, per Fantasy Points Data). While Flowers also saw 19 deep targets last year, the big concern with him is his touchdown upside. Flowers has never had more than five receiving touchdowns in any season, and with only 11 red zone targets last year, it's tough to project a huge spike in that this season, but there could be hope with the arrival of offensive coordinator Declan Doyle. I'm not projecting that Doyle heads into this season drawing up more usage for Flowers near the goal line, but it can't possibly get any worse than it has been previously. Flowers is a strong WR2 with WR1 upside again this year.

Rashee Rice
WR - KC (vs . LV)
Rashee Rice had another "interesting offseason" where he had a knee scope and spent some time rehabbing from that procedure in a jail cell. Rice hasn't played more than eight games in a season since 2023, so while he has been very productive when he's been on the field over the last two seasons, we still haven't seen him available for a full calendar of football since that season. Last year, when he was on the field, Rice remained a target hog with a 26.2% target share (12th among 109 qualifying receivers), averaging 71.4 receiving yards per game (tenth), producing 2.28 yards per route run (15th), and churning out 0.112 first downs per route run with a 31.9% first-read share (both 14th-best, per Fantasy Points Data). If Rice can stay healthy and out of trouble off the field this season, he should return strong WR2 value with upside.

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.

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.
Colston Loveland
TE - CHI (at MIN)
Sure, Colston Loveland disappointed last season if you only look at his overall stats as the TE15 in fantasy points per game, but that was because he was languishing in a part-time role for most of the season. It wasn't until after Week 15 that Loveland was consistently featured as a full-time member of the offense. In Weeks 16-20, he exploded as the Bears' WR1 with a 25.6% target share, 81.6 receiving yards per game, 2.49 yards per route run, a 34% first-read share, 0.116 first downs per route run, and 17.2 PPR points per game (per Fantasy Points Data). If Loveland had produced like that over the course of the entire season, he would have given Trey McBride a run for his money as the TE1 in fantasy. Last year, those numbers, among all tight ends with at least 20 targets, would have ranked first, first, fourth, first, fourth, and second. If you compare those numbers against Trey McBride's 2025 season and Brock Bowers' 2024 campaign, Loveland would have beaten both players in every single category except for fantasy points per game with McBride's 2025 season. Loveland could easily pick up right where he left off this season and compete with Brock Bowers and Trey McBride for the TE1 crown. With D.J. Moore gone, Loveland has only Rome Odunze and Luther Burden to compete with for the top spot in the target pecking order in Chicago.

33.
Tee Higgins
WR - CIN (vs . CLE)
Over the last two seasons, Tee Higgins has been the WR13 and WR5 in fantasy points per game. Last season, with Joe Burrow under center in Weeks 14-18, Higgins had an 18.8% target share with 67.8 receiving yards per game, 2.20 yards per route run, a 25.6% first-read share, and 0.106 first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Those are all incredibly impressive per-route metrics. For context, if Higgins had kept up that pace for an entire season with Burrow, he would have ranked 12th in receiving yards per game, 19th in yards per route run, 28th in first-read share, and 17th in first downs per route run among wideouts (minimum 200 routes). Higgins is a strong bet for fantasy again this season. If Joe Burrow can stay healthy this season, Higgins should be a locked-in top-15 wideout with WR1 upside again.

34.
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.

35.
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.

36.
Jaylen Waddle
WR - DEN (vs . LAC)
It's Jaylen Waddle SZN! I can't wait to see him ball out in the Denver passing attack. Waddle should get a wonderful infusion of volume this season, moving from an offense that was 29th in neutral passing rate to one that was fourth in that metric last season. Overall, Denver was fourth in passing attempts behind only Arizona, Cincy, and Dallas last year. Waddle is a stud no matter what metric you look at. Last year, among 109 qualifying wide receivers (per Fantasy Points Data), he was 12th in target per route run rate, 12th in yards per route run, seventh in first downs per route run, 12th in separation score, and 11th in route win rate. He also bested Courtland Sutton in each of those metrics with the exception of route win rate (15.3% vs. 15.5%). Waddle is a flag plant player for me this year. You can easily draft him as a WR2 for your teams this season that has WR1 upside.

37.
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.

38.
Garrett Wilson
WR - NYJ (at BUF)
Last year, before being lost to a knee injury (Weeks 1-6), Garrett Wilson was the WR10 in fantasy points per game. During that span, he commanded a 31.2% target share with 65.8 receiving yards per game, 1.92 yards per route run, a whopping 45.9% first-read share, and 0.087 first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). With more weapons installed around him this offseason (Omar Cooper Jr. and Kenyon Sadiq), Wilson's target share and first-read share could dip some, but he'll still be the clear leader of the passing attack with (hopefully) improved quarterback play with Geno Smith under center. Wilson is a strong WR2 with WR1 upside if the Jets new look offense gels in 2026.

39.
Ladd McConkey
WR - LAC (at DEN)
Last year was a disappointing season for Ladd McConkey. He finished as the WR34 in fantasy points per game, with eight weeks outside the top 36 wide receivers in weekly scoring. The hype is heavy this draft season for McConkey to post monster numbers in Mike McDaniel's offense. I love McConkey's talent, but find myself lower than the market and expectations for McConkey this season. Last year, among 109 qualifying receivers, he ranked 41st in separation and 15th in route win rate (per Fantasy Points Data). Those aren't daming numbers at all, but my bigger concern for McConkey this season is his ability to earn a target share that could vault him into the top 12 fantasy receivers. Last year, among the same subset of receivers, McConkey was 29th in target share (19.8%), 62nd in yards per route run (1.47), 37th in receiving yards per game (49.3), 46th in first-read share (20.4%), and 64th in first downs per route run. None of this screams "ascending monster breakout WR1" for the Chargers offense in 2026. McConkey has flashed the talent to do so at various points in his career, most notably in his rookie season, but where he's being drafted (as a mid-range WR2), for me to pay that price in drafts, I have to be able to squint and see WR1 or close to it upside for a player. I just don't see that for McConkey in 2026, but I could easily be wrong. I won't crush anyone for taking McConkey in drafts this summer, but I find myself consistently drafting other receivers and running backs over him at his ADP.

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.

41.
Tetairoa McMillan
WR - CAR (vs . ATL)
Last year, Tetairoa McMillan had a strong rookie season as the WR20 in fantasy points per game despite a limited passing volume offense and up-and-down quarterback play from Bryce Young. Last year, in Weeks 3-18, Young surpassed 35 passing attempts only once, had only two games with more than 225 passing yards, and directed an offense that was fifth in neutral rushing rate. It's concerning for McMillan's floor and ceiling, especially with Jalen Coker being fully healthy entering the season (Coker wasn't a full-time player until Week 8 last season). I don't doubt McMillan's talent for a second. I was heavily invested in him for fantasy purposes last year, but I find making the same investment this season tougher with a limited passing volume offense restricting him and Coker representing improved target competition for McMillan in 2026. Last year, McMillan, among 109 qualifying receivers, ranked 14th in target share (23.1%), 19th in receiving yards per game (59.6), 27th in yards per route run (1.94), 15th in first-read share (28.5%), and 17th in first downs per route run (0.105, per Fantasy Points Data). McMillan could easily finish as a strong WR2 again this season, but he could also see a dip to WR3 status if Coker is able to cut into his target share and touchdowns, or if Bryce Young face plants again this season.

42.
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 who could outkick that projection if the Saints' offense takes a leap forward and surprises this year.
|

43.
Emeka Egbuka
WR - TB (at NO)
Emeka Egbuka could crush his mid WR2 draft cost this season. Egbuka faded after Week 5 last year after he sustained a hamstring injury, and Baker Mayfield's injury severely impacted his ability to feed catchable targets to the receiving options in Tampa Bay. In Weeks 1-5, Egbuka was the WR3 in fantasy points per game, commanding a 22.1% target share with 89 receiving yards per game, 2.71 yards per route run, a 26.1% first-read share, and 0.104 first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Had Egbuka kept up that pace all season, he would have ranked 19th in target share, third in receiving yards per game, fourth in yards per route run, 26th in first-read share, and 20th in first downs per route run. Sadly, he didn't keep up that pace. In Weeks 6-18, despite still drawing a 23.1% target share with a 28.9% first-read share, Egbuka had only 41.1 receiving yards per game, 1.50 yards per route run, and 0.052 first downs per route run as the WR55 in fantasy points per game. If Egbuka had closed the season with the flurry of production instead of the other way around, fantasy gamers would be foaming at the mouth to draft him this season. Consider me a rabid drafter hellbent upon drafting as much Egbuka as possible this season. Entering his second season with Chris Godwin and Jalen McMillan as his primary competition for targets, Egbuka can establish himself as the team's clear WR1 and return WR1/2 production.

44.
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.

45.
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.

46.
Luther Burden III
WR - CHI (at MIN)
Luther Burden steps into a much larger workload in 2026. Last year (including the playoffs), Burden had only five games in which he played at least 53% of the snaps. In those games, he had a 15.5% target share and 61.2 receiving yards per game, which is concerning, but his per-route metrics were outstanding, with 2.30 yards per route run, a 23.6% first-read share, and 0.120 first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). There's a lot of projection for Burden's 2026 season. Last year, he was stellar overall per-route with a 26% target per route run rate (11th), 2.83 yards per route run (third), 0.117 first downs per route run (12th), and 0.56 fantasy points per route run (eighth, among all wideouts with at least 200 routes). The hope and hype centered around Burden is that he can turn that small-sample hyper-efficiency into a marvelous season with a full-time workload. That could happen this year, and it sends him screaming up the weekly rankings for wide receivers, but Burden also has Rome Odunze and Colston Loveland to contend with for the top spot in the Chicago pecking order. Burden is best viewed as a WR2 with upside.

|
47.
Davante Adams
WR - LAR (vs . SEA)
Davante Adams was a fantasy monster before succumbing to a hamstring injury in Week 15 that forced him to miss the rest of the regular season. In Weeks 1-14, Adams (among 86 qualifying receivers per Fantasy Points Data) was 16th in target share (23.8%), 26th in receiving yards per game (55.2), 18th in yards per route run (2.02), 23rd in first-read share (27%), and fifth in first downs per route run (0.132). He was scoring touchdowns at an insane clip with 14 in those 13 games while leading all receivers with 30 red zone targets (the closest receiver to him during that span had 19). During those 13 games, Adams was the WR8 in fantasy points per game. I don't expect him to repeat that insane fantasy production in 2026 as his touchdown scoring is likely to see some small bit of regression. Adams didn't show any falloff in his separation skills, ranking first in separation score and route win rate among 109 qualifying receivers last year. Adams should be considered a solid WR2 with some upside if the Rams offense can continue to cook in 2026 as it did in 2025.
|
|
48.
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.
|
|
49.
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.

50.
Terry McLaurin
WR - WAS (vs . DAL)
Terry McLaurin experienced a steep drop-off last year after his banner WR14 campaign in 2024. Ultimately, the Washington offense took a massive step back, and McLaurin was dealing with a quad injury for much of last season, which limited him to ten games played. In those ten games, yes, he was the WR33 in fantasy points per game, but his per-route metrics remained stellar. Among 109 qualifying receivers, McLaurin ranked 25th in target per route run rate (24%), 13th in yards per route run (2.38), fourth in first downs per route run (0.135), and 26th in route win rate (per Fantasy Points Data). With Deebo Samuel and Zach Ertz gone, only Stefon Diggs, Antonio Williams, and Chig Okonkwo were added to this receiving depth chart; McLaurin should return to his target-hog WR2 ways in 2026. He's a strong bounceback candidate.

51.
Jameson Williams
WR - DET (at GB)
Jameson Williams had a tale of two halves season in 2025. There are a lot of reasons why it worked out that way that I'll dive into shortly. In Weeks 1-9, he was the WR46 in fantasy points per game with a 14.9% target share (15.2 aDOT), 44.4 receiving yards per game, 1.54 yards per route run, a 14.9% first-read share, and 0.074 first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). During this stretch, Williams was just the low-volume field-stretching option while Sam LaPorta was healthy. John Morton was still calling plays, and it looks like Williams was on his way to a bust season. Then Sam LaPorta was lost for the season in Week 10, and Dan Campbell took over play-calling duties, and everything changed for the Detroit speedster. In Weeks 10-18, Williams was the WR11 in fantasy points per game while seeing an 18.5% target share (11.5 aDOT) with 84.7 receiving yards per game, 2.34 yards per route run, a 21.1% first-read share, and 0.098 first downs per route run. Williams' target share and first-read share put him in the WR2/3 bucket, while his per-route efficiency and three 100-yard receiving games vaulted him higher. His aDOT came down, and he was more involved weekly as a central cog of the offense. So the question is which version of Williams will we see in 2026? Well, that's tough to say because Drew Petzing will be calling plays, and he has had his own struggles in previous seasons putting wide receivers in the best spot to produce (hello, Marvin Harrison Jr.). Also, Sam LaPorta will be back in the huddle and healthy. Williams is best viewed as a volatile WR3 that could have strong WR2 upside if his usage remains strong and he's not forced back into a downfield role in 2026.

Bucky Irving
RB - TB (at NO)
Bucky Irving has dealt with a number of injuries in his short career with a foot sprain and a shoulder/ AC joint sprain last year. Rewinding to 2024, he also dealt with hip, back, toe, and hamstring issues. When he was on the field last year, he averaged 20.3 touches and 86.5 total yards as the RB17 in fantasy points per game. His efficiency suffered massively from the injuries last year after being a wonderous per-touch monster in 2024. Last year, among 49 qualifying backs, he was 43rd in explosive run rate, 35th in missed tackle rate, and 46th in yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). Those dips are explainable, but they are still concerning for a back that is on the smaller side and has been banged up quite often over the last two seasons. Yes, Rachaad White is gone, but Irving will still have to contend with Kenneth Gainwell and Sean Tucker this season on early downs and in the passing game. Irving could be a nice bounce-back candidate in 2026 or a massive disappointment that loses work to Gainwell and Tucker all year. I'll buy the dip if he slips in some drafts, but I won't go out of my way to draft him this season.

53.
DJ Moore
WR - BUF (vs . NYJ)
D.J. Moore's stock took a tumble last year as Moore sank to WR41 in fantasy points per game. Moore has a new home for 2026 and beyond after being traded to Buffalo as Josh Allen's new WR1. Moore had a 14.3% target share with 1.33 yards per route run, a 17.5% first-read share, and 0.063 first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). None of these numbers offer hope for 2026, but don't tune out just yet because I'm getting to the hope segment of this outlook. Buffalo hasn't had a dependable high-end target share earning receiving option since Stefon Diggs, and Joe Brady's previous experience with Moore has him and Buffalo believing that he can return to that form in 2026. Moore's deeper analytics agree with Brady. Last year, among 109 qualifying receivers, Moore was 47th and 49th in separation score and route win rate. The numbers get even better when we look at Moore as a perimeter receiver, which he'll be asked to do more than the 65% of the snaps that he played there last year. As an outside receiver last year, among the same sample of receivers, he was 36th in separation and 29th in route win rate. Moore looks like a nice bounceback candidate this season as a WR2/3 with upside for much more.

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.

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.

Christian Watson
WR - GB (vs . DET)
Christian Watson got the bag this offseason and should be considered the clear WR1 for the Green Bay Packers. Watson deserved the payday as he proved that he can handle this role last year. Last season, in Weeks 8-18, he was the WR21 in fantasy points per game with an 18.2% target share, 61.1 receiving yards per game, 2.67 yards per route run, a 23.9% first-read share, and 0.122 first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). His target share and first-read share should go up this season with Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks gone and Watson likely getting promoted into a full-time role. Last year, he was also held back by a 68% route share (56th out of 109 qualifying receivers). The increase in usage and playing time should make his ultra-efficiency per route even more deadly in 2026. Last year, among those 109 qualifying receivers, Watson ranked fourth in yards per route run, tenth in first downs per route run, and sixth in fantasy points per route run. Watson is a strong WR2 with upside for more in 2026.

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.

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.

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 2026. 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.

Rome Odunze
WR - CHI (at MIN)
Rome Odunze was on his way to a breakout season before he sustained a foot fracture. In Weeks 1-12, he was the WR21 in fantasy points per game despite dealing with a 68.3% catchable target rate (96th out of 127 qualifying receivers). During that stretch of games, among that sample of receivers, he was 21st in target share (22.4%), 20th in receiving yards per game (59.4), 27th in yards per route run (1.95), 25th in first-read share (27.2%), and 16th in first-downs per route run (0.107, per Fantasy Points Data). Foot injuries always scare me, and Odunze has talked openly this offseason about the "new normal" of playing, planting, and running on his foot. The bum foot could crush him in 2026 if it remains a problem, but Odunze is appropriately priced in drafts as a WR3 with WR2 upside, with the risk being baked in.

61.
Parker Washington
WR - JAC (at IND)
Parker Washington finished last season with a flurry of insane production; if he picks up right where he left off, he'll be one of the best picks in fantasy football this season. Last year, in Weeks 16-19, Washington asserted himself as the Jags' clear WR1. During that stretch, he averaged 22.3 PPR points per game while soaking up six red zone targets and 13 deep targets (per Fantasy Points Data). In those four games, he had a 28.9% target share, 113.5 receiving yards per game, 3.78 yards per route run, and a 33.3% first-read share. Those are all absolutely elite metrics no matter how you slice it. There's some uncertainty about how the Jags target hierarchy sifts out this season with Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter healthy. Each player could effectively put a dent in Washington, putting up monster numbers in 2026, but that risk is baked into Washington's price in drafts. He's a wonderful upside swing in the later rounds.

62.
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.

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.

64.
Mike Evans
WR - SF (at ARI)
Mike Evans has a new home with the 49ers, and he looks like a wonderful value in fantasy drafts. Yes, Evans dealt with hamstring issues again last year, but that wasn't the big limiting factor in his games played. That was related to a broken collarbone. For all of the injury talk about Evans, before the 2025 season, he had never played less than 13 games in any season, and since 2020 he had played at least 14 games in every season. Evans might be older, but he hasn't slowed down when you look at his metrics. Last year, during his seven full games played, he had a 24.4% target share, a 30.6% first-read share, and 0.116 first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Among 109 qualifying receivers last year, those numbers would have ranked 13th-best across the board. Yes, during that sample, he had only 1.86 yards per route run and 52.6 receiving yards per game, which would have ranked 31st and 33rd among the same group of receivers, but that was more related to Baker Mayfield's inaccuracy than Evans slowing down. In his full games played, Evans had only a 70.9% catchable target rate, which among those 109 receivers would have ranked 84th. Evans on field production didn't match his deeper analytics and target-earning ability, as he was also second-best in separation and route win rate last season. If he can stay healthy this season, he should be one of the best values on the board for fantasy season with WR1 upside.

65.
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.
|
|
66.
Caleb Williams
QB - CHI (at MIN)
Last year, with Ben Johnson, Caleb Williams took a small step forward in his play, but it wasn't nearly as massive a step as most think. Yes, he was the QB7 in fantasy points per game while ranking 12th in rushing yards per game and 11th in rushing touchdowns among quarterbacks, but he still struggled mightily as a passer despite the fantasy production and late-game heroics. Among 38 qualifying passers, he was 22nd in yards per attempt, 30th in adjusted completion rate and highly accurate throw rate, 34th in catchable target rate, 25th in hero throw rate, and he had the tenth-highest off-target rate (per Fantasy Points Data). With Ben Johnson back at the controls this year and plenty of skill talent around Williams for 2026, I hope he makes more incremental improvements as a passer to improve his fantasy production because if his rushing production dips, he could see his fantasy stock slightly decline. He should still return QB1 production in 2026.

67.
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.

68.
Tucker Kraft
TE - GB (vs . DET)
Last year, before losing the rest of his season to a torn ACL (Week 9), Tucker Kraft was the TE1 in fantasy points per game. In Weeks 1-8, among 33 qualifying tight ends, Kraft ranked seventh in target share (18.3%), first in receiving yards per game (67), second in yards per route run (2.71), seventh in first-read share (21.6%), and second in first downs per route run (0.121, per Fantasy Points Data). Kraft was also a YAC gawd, leading all tight ends in yards after the catch per reception and missed tackles forced per reception. The news out of Packers' camp is that he'll have his snaps monitored for half the season before cutting him loose with a full workload down the back half of the season. I'm not that concerned about it crushing his fantasy value in the early going. In Weeks 1-8, among 45 qualifying tight ends, he was 11th in route share (73.3%), which will obviously see a downtick this season out of the gate, but now we can discuss the reassuring factors of his usage from last season. Among the same sample of tight ends in that stretch, he was also ninth-best in target per route run rate (23%) and third-best in designed target rate (17.9%). I won't be shocked if Green Bay bumps both of those numbers up in the first half of the season, and to be honest, I expect them to. Kraft can maintain TE1 production in the early weeks of the season with top 3-5 upside in the back half of 2026.

69.
Justin Herbert
QB - LAC (at DEN)
Justin Herbert walked away from the 2025 season remaining an enigma despite his QB10 finish for the season in fantasy points per game. The season was filled with more injuries to him and his offensive line, which certainly changed the flavor of the football coffee last year. Last year, Rashawn Slater was out for the year, and Herbert lost Joe Alt after Week 3. On top of that, Herbert sustained a broken hand in Week 13, which obviously impacted the rest of his season. In Weeks 1-3, Herbert faced the 14th-highest pressure rate, and in Weeks 4-12, with a healthy Herbert and without Joe Alt, Herbert saw the tenth-highest pressure rate. Despite all of this, Herbert still was a top-ten fantasy quarterback last season. Among 38 qualifying quarterbacks last year, Herbert was 14th in yards per attempt, ninth in adjusted completion rate and catchable target rate, sixth in highly accurate throw rate, and 11th in hero throw rate (per Fantasy Points Data). With hopefully a healthy offensive line in front of him and the infusion of Mike McDaniel's offensive playcalling genius, Herbert can ascend to new heights in the world of QB1 land in 2026.

70.
Marvin Harrison Jr.
WR - ARI (vs . SF)
Marvin Harrison Jr. had a troubled 2025 season as he dealt with a concussion, an appendectomy, and a heel injury that cost him five games. In the eight games he played last year before dealing with appendicitis and a heel injury, he garnered a 21.9% target share, producing 61.6 receiving yards per game with 1.68 yards per route run, a 27.1% first-read share, and 0.082 first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). During that stretch, he averaged 13.4 PPR points per game. It's a BIG if, but if he had kept up that type of production, he would have been the WR17 in fantasy points per game. Last year, if you put up that sample for Harrison Jr. against all wide receivers with at least 200 routes, he would have ranked 19th in target share, 16th in receiving yards per game, 44th in yards per route run, 23rd in first-read share, and 46th in first downs per route run. The passing volume for the Cards was propping up some shoddy per-route efficiency, but there are some slivers of hope to take away from this too. If he can overcome the quarterback play and a talented running mate in Michael Wilson, Harrison Jr. can be a volume-based WR3/flex for 2026.

71.
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.

72.
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.

Carnell Tate
WR - TEN (at HOU)
Drafting Carnell Tate is a bet on talent and Cam Ward's ability to take off in his second season with Brian Daboll calling plays. I want to bet on Tate as I'm in love with the talent. Tate is an amazing route runner who can separate at all three levels of the field after ranking tenth in yards per route run and fourth in receiving grade last season (per PFF). He finished college with an otherworldly 68.8% contested catch rate, and he had zero drops in his final season despite a 14.6 aDOT. Tate will have to contend with Wan'Dale Robinson and Calvin Ridley for the WR1 spot in the Tennessee offense, but he has the talent to be the clear WR1 from Week 1. It just comes down to how quickly he can hit the ground running and how many weapons can Ward support in 2026. I'll be drafting Tate a ton.
|
|
74.
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.
|
|
75.
DK Metcalf
WR - PIT (at BAL)
Yes, D.K. Metcalf finished as the WR19 in fantasy points per game last year, but if you rostered him last season, you know that it wasn't nearly that glorious to trot him out in your lineup weekly. In nine of his 15 games played, he was outside the top 24 receivers in weekly scoring. Last year, among 109 qualifying receivers, Metcalf ranked 24th in target share (21.1%), 26th in receiving yards per game (56.7), 25th in yards per route run (1.98), 20th in first-read share (27.7%), and 37th in first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Metcalf will still be operating as Pittsburgh's WR1 (most likely), but he has stiffer target competition with Michael Pittman Jr. added this offseason. He's best viewed as a WR3 with some upside. I won't be going out of my way to draft Metcalf this year, but if he slips past ADP, then he becomes intriguing.

76.
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.
|

77.
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

78.
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.

Brian Thomas Jr. was one of the biggest busts of the 2025 season. He dealt with a high ankle sprain and a shoulder issue and never looked like the player we all loved during his rookie season. Once Thomas Jr. was "healthy" and Jakobi Meyers was on the roster, Thomas was relegated to a field-stretching role. In Weeks 13-18, he had only two top-24 outings in weekly scoring (WR15, WR23) with a 14.9% target share (18.1 aDOT), 47.8 receiving yards per game, 1.65 yards per route run, three red zone targets, and a 20.6% first-read share (per Fantasy Points Data). Could Thomas bounce back in 2026? Sure, it's possible, but with how this passing attack and receiver depth chart are composed, I don't see him returning to alpha-level usage this season. He'll likely fill the downfield role for Liam Coen and Trevor Lawrence. This means he'll have massive week-to-week volatility. I'm mostly interested in Thomas Jr. in best ball formats where I don't have to stress about when to start him. I'll just enjoy the overall point total that he accumulates by the end of the season. Thomas is a WR3/4 who could easily be a WR2 by the end of the year if the big plays and touchdowns come.

Chris Godwin Jr.
WR - TB (at NO)
Last year, Chris Godwin had a slow ramp-up in 2025, coming off a horrific ankle fracture in 2024. After coming back in Week 5, he had a fibula injury that delayed his return to a full-time role until Week 13. Once he was back, in Weeks 13-18, he had a 16.8% target share, 49.8 receiving yards per game, 1.88 yards per route run, a 21.2% first-read share, and 0.107 first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). The yards per route run and first downs per route run in that stretch loudly state that Chris Godwin isn't washed or over the hill, as he was also the WR32 in fantasy points per game. Godwin is a nice late-round receiver who could easily outkick his ADP if Baker Mayfield can stay health in 2026.

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.

82.
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.

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.

84.
Courtland Sutton
WR - DEN (vs . LAC)
Over the last two seasons, Courtland Sutton has been the unquestioned WR1 for Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos. In those seasons, he finished as the WR18 and WR24 in fantasy points per game. The arrival of Jaylen Waddle will change that this year. Sutton still can be a highly productive player in a pass-happy offense, but he'll take a backseat to Waddle. Last year, Denver was fourth in pass rate over expectation and passing attempts (per Fantasy Points Data). His per-route data remained solid, but it wasn't spectacular outside of his separation score and route win rate (20th, ninth). Last year, among 109 qualifying receivers, Sutton was 35th in target per route run rate, 32nd in yards per route run, and 29th in first downs per route run. I expect the passing attack to condense around Waddle and Sutton with all of the other receiving options falling in behind them as matchup/coverage specific chess pieces. Sutton is a WR2/3 for 2026.

85.
Quentin Johnston
WR - LAC (at DEN)
I'll go ahead and say it...I'm irrationally high on Quentin Johnston's outlook for 2026. He has a real opportunity to be the Bolts' WR1 this season because when he was healthy last year, that is exactly who he was. Last year, in Week 5, Johnston sustained a hamstring injury that lingered even into his Week 7 and 8 usage (missed Week 6). In Weeks 7-8, Johnston had a 9.1% target share and zero targets (9.78% and zero first-read shares). Those were massive departures from his early-season usage and for the remainder of the season. In Weeks 1-4 and 9-18, when he was presumably healthy, Johnson had a 20.3% target share, 1.83 yards per route run, 12 red zone targets, 17 deep targets, a 27% missed tackle rate, and a 24.8% first-read share (per Fantasy Points Data). During those games, Johnston led the team in EACH of those statistical categories while posting 13.9 PPR points per game. If Johnston had kept up that per-game output for fantasy all season, he would have been the WR16 in fantasy points per game. There's a real runout for Johnston that he's the Chargers' WR1 this year, and it's not Ladd McConkey, or at the very least that the gap in usage isn't nearly as wide as the consensus believes. I"ll be drafting Johnston a ton this season as a high-upside and cheap investment in the Chargers' offense that could pay off handsomely.

86.
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.

87.
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.

88.
Michael Wilson
WR - ARI (vs . SF)
Michael Wilson had Grand Canyon-sized splits last year when Marvin Harrison Jr. was out of the lineup versus when he was healthy. In the eight games Harrison Jr. was active before his heel injury and was healthy, Wilson had only an 11.7% target share, 23.4 receiving yards per game, 0.72 yards per route run, and a 14.1% first-read share (per Fantasy Points Data). That isn't remotely close to fantasy-viable production. In the games Harrison Jr. missed and during Weeks 16 & 17 (after Harrison Jr returned post heel injury), Wilson was absolutely fantastic with a 27.5% target share, 105.6 receiving yards per game, 2.79 yards per route run, and a 38.8% first-read share (23.3 PPR points per game). That is elite WR1-level production and efficiency. Wilson is a decent late-round receiver option, but I don't know if that level of production happens again, even in a watered-down fashion, if Harrison Jr. is healthy and the Cardinals get replacement-level quarterback play in 2026.

89.
Michael Pittman Jr.
WR - PIT (at BAL)
Michael Pittman Jr. had a tough 2025 season as he played through a back fracture and sustained a hamstring injury along the way. Pittman was still the WR26 in fantasy points per game as the Colts' go-to against two high. The back end of his 2025 season was crushed by Daniel Jones' injury. After Week 10, Pittman Jr. surpassed 40 receiving yards in a game only once. In Weeks 1-10, he was the WR9 in fantasy points per game. During that stretch, among 117 qualifying receivers, he was 23rd in target share (21%), 26th in receiving yards per game (58), 33rd in yards per route run (1.90), 31st in first-read share (24.5%), and 15th in first downs per route run (0.114, per Fantasy Points Data). Pittman Jr. isn't the sexiest pick in fantasy football drafts in 2026, but he could return solid value in PPR formats as Aaron Rodgers' underneath chain mover.

90.
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.

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.
Alec Pierce
WR - IND (vs . JAC)
Alec Pierce finished as the WR23 in fantasy points per game last year after serving as Indy's field stretcher. He had only a 17.4% target share (19.4 aDOT), but he turned that into 1,003 receiving yards and six scores. Indy was counting on Pierce to step into a heavier workload this season with Michael Pittman Jr. gone, but his ankle issues and the signing of Keenan Allen have complicated things. Pierce had left ankle surgery in March of 2026 and has had a bumpy recovery. He needed a PRP injection in January for the same ankle prior to surgery. Pierce will be slow out of the gate for 2026. That isn't a question. The worry is how long before he's 100% (if at all in 2026). The positives are Pierce are that last season, among 109 qualifying receivers, he was 12th in receiving yards per game and 16th in yards per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Those efficiency marks are awesome, but the lingering concerns about Pierce's health/effectiveness, his target-earning ability, Daniel Jones' health/effectiveness, and this Colts' offense in general push him into the WR3/4 territory in drafts. With the addition of Keenan Allen and Pierce's continued health struggles, I'm avoiding him in drafts this year.

93.
MarShawn Lloyd
RB - GB (vs . DET)
MarShawn Lloyd looks primed to enter the NFL season as the Packers' workhorse back with Josh Jacobs on the commissioner-exempt list. Lloyd's stock has risen massively with this news over the weekend, and he should be considered in fantasy football drafts in the late RB2 tier or at the top of the RB3 tier. 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). If you're drafting Josh Jacobs this year, Lloyd should be a priority for you. I'll be overweight on Lloyd exposure this season. There's an easy runout for Lloyd where Jacobs is out for most of (maybe all of the fantasy season, and Lloyd is a strong RB2 all year.

94.
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.

Stefon Diggs
WR - WAS (vs . DAL)
After a long offseason, Stefon Diggs is finally a Washington Commander. We've all speculated all offseason that Diggs would possibly land with Washington, and now it has come to fruition. Diggs had a strong 2025 season that proved that he has plenty left in the tank to post a strong fantasy season in 2026. Last year, he was the WR23 in fantasy points per game with only a 65.4% route share (62nd out of 109 qualifying receivers). Among 109 qualifying receivers, he was stellar on a per-route basis, ranking 22nd in target per route run rate (25%), 20th in receiving yards per game (59.6), and eighth in yards per route run (2.53) and first downs per route run (0.127, per Fantasy Points Data). Among the same sample of receivers, he was also 28th in overall separation score, 18th in separation versus man coverage, 22nd in route win rate against man coverage, and 11th in yards per route run against both man and zone coverages. Diggs didn't show any falloff, so I'm not projecting that for 2026, being even further out from his ACL reconstruction. Diggs is a strong WR3 with upside this season. I expect the Washington passing attack to be funneled through Diggs and Terry McLaurin.

96.
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.
|
|
97.
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.
|
|
98.
Josh Downs
WR - IND (vs . JAC)
Josh Downs dealt with a hamstring issue to open last season, which could be a reason why he didn't eclipse a 60% snap share until Week 4. Downs' playing time was a rollercoaster the rest of the season as his snap rate dipped below 60% in five other weeks in the remainder of the season. Originally, Downs was expected to step into an elevated role in 2026 and play more on the perimeter after seeing only 65 routes as a boundary receiver last year (per Fantasy Points Data). With the signing of Keenan Allen, Downs could be on the outside with Allen until Alec Pierce is fully healthy, but once all three are in the lineup, I expect Allen and Downs to rotate slot and perimeter usage. There's also a scenario where Allen falls into the Michael Pittman Jr. role from 2025 in this offense and Downs goes back to a slot-only role. The addition of Allen just widened Downs' range of outcomes for 2026. The splits in the slot versus outside aren't in Downs' favor. Last year, overall, he was 19th in separation score and 55th in route win rate, but when you look at him as a perimeter receiver, he drops to 52nd in separation and 84th in route win rate. On a per-route basis, among 109 qualifying receivers, he was 29th in target per route run rate, 66th in yards per route run, and 26th in first downs per route run. Downs is downgraded with the signing of Allen to a late-round flier or matchup-dependent PPR flex play.

99.
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.

100.
Jaxson Dart
QB - NYG (vs . PHI)
Last year, once taking over as the Giants starter, Jaxson Dart was the QB7 in fantasy points per game. If you remove the wet fart game that he had in Week 16 against Minnesota, where he scored only one fantasy point and had 13 pass attempts and 33 passing yards, he averaged 22.5 fantasy points per game. That points-per-game mark would have made him the QB1 in fantasy points per game last year. Dart showed off his rushing ability, averaging seven rushing attempts and 40.6 rushing yards per game. He had the second-most rushing yards per game among quarterbacks last year behind only Justin Fields. Dart also wasn't a lackluster passer last year. Among 38 qualifying passers, he was 23rd in CPOE, 19th in highly accurate throw rate, and tenth in hero throw rate (per Fantasy Points Data). Dart was also fifth in fantasy points per dropback while dealing with the 12th-highest drop rate among quarterbacks. Dart is positioned to be a strong QB1 again this year with upside.

101.
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.

102.
Jayden Reed
WR - GB (vs . DET)
Jayden Reed missed much of the 2025 season with a broken collarbone and surgery to repair a Jones fracture. Last year, we got only a five-game sample for Reed where he played at least 35% of the snaps. In those contests, Reed had a 21% target-per-route-run rate, 1.99 yards per route run, and 0.47 fantasy points per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Those are strong numbers, but the worry for Reed persists into 2026 about his inclusion in two wide receiver sets. Last year, Reed played 75% of his snaps from the slot, which is tough when Green Bay ranked 22nd in usage of 11 personnel (55.6%). That leaves Reed as a capped upside player who can only be counted on as a matchup-specific flex play. I fully expect Matthew Golden to start in two wide receiver sets, which will leave on the outside looking in for many weeks. Reed isn't on my draft board in 2026. If I need receiver help during bye weeks, I'll look for his name on waivers.

103.
Patrick Mahomes II
QB - KC (vs . LV)
Patrick Mahomes saw his season end in Week 15 last year with a torn ACL. Prior to that horrible injury, he was the QB2 in fantasy points per game. Last year, he averaged a career-high 6.6 rushing attempts per game and 30.1 rushing yards per game. He was first in scrambles per game and 14th in red zone carries per game among quarterbacks. I don't expect those numbers to repeat this season coming off the ACL injury. Mahomes will work from the pocket more in 2026, especially to open the season. Last year, outside of the immense passing volume he saw, it was an uninspiring year for Mahomes as an accurate passer. Among 38 qualifying passers, he was 18th in yards per attempt, 24th in adjusted completion rate, 16th in highly accurate throw rate, and 30th in catchable target rate (per Fantasy Points Data). Mahomes should return strong QB1 numbers again in 2026 based upon volume alone, but I won't be surprised if he regresses back into the low-end QB1 territory that he lived in 2023-2024 (QB11, QB10).
|
|
104.
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.

105.
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.

106.
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).

Wan'Dale Robinson
WR - TEN (at HOU)
Last year, Wan'Dale Robinson had his best season to date, easily, with a true breakout campaign as the WR14 in fantasy points per game. Among 109 qualifying receivers, he ranked 11th in target share (26.8%), 15th in receiving yards per game (63.4), 28th in yards per route run (1.94), and 11th in first-read share (32.9%, per Fantasy Points Data). A huge change for Robinson was that he wasn't just a checkdown or underneath option anymore, as his aDOT rose to 8.7 and he was 21st among that sample of receivers in deep targets. This season, Robinson will have more target competition alongside Carnell Tate and Calvin Ridley, but I expect him to be the clear WR2 in the offense. It's wonderful that he stays tied to Brian Daboll in Tennessee, who oversaw his breakout and usage last year, which gives me hope for his 2026 outlook. His floor and ceiling this season will be tied to Cam Ward taking a big step with this new coaching staff. If that happens, Robinson could be a weekly WR2/3 this season.

Jordan Addison
WR - MIN (vs . CHI)
Last year, as the quarterback play in Minnesota cratered, Jordan Addison had a career-worst season as the WR44 in fantasy points per game. Addison had only a 17.4% target share with 43.6 receiving yards per game, 1.53 yards per route run, a 22.1% first-read share, and 0.065 first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). None of those numbers jump off the page or are convincing enough to dive back in on Addison with Kyler Murray as the starting quarterback for 2026. Addison could have a bounce-back season and still not move the needle for fantasy purposes as a matchup-based flex option or WR3/4. I'm avoiding Addison this season.

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.

110.
Dalton Kincaid
TE - BUF (vs . NYJ)
If Dalton Kincaid could get a near full-time route share, he would be a league winner and season-defining player at the tight end position, with consideration to where he's being drafted. Last year, Kincaid was a monster on a per-route basis, leading to a TE13 finish in fantasy points per game. Last year, among 54 qualifying tight ends, Kincaid ranked FIRST in target per route run rate, yards per route run, separation score, route win rate, first downs per route run, and fantasy points per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). The problem is that, among the same sample of 54 tight ends, he was 39th in route share (44.2%) behind Michael Mayer. If Kincaid could see his route share climb near 70% (or above), he could be the TE1 overall in 2026, but the problem is that it is a BIG if. The good thing is that risk is priced into his ADP, but his soul-crushing upside isn't. Kincaid is a perfect tight end to pair with Dallas Goedert, Travis Kelce, or Jake Ferguson. It's a perfect two-tight-end build with floor and potential ceiling.

111.
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.

112.
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. 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.

113.
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.

114.
De'Zhaun Stribling
WR - SF (at ARI)
De'Zhaun Stribling has been zooming up draft boards and ADP since the news of Ricky Pearsall's season-ending PCL news. Many could pump the brakes on that now that San Francisco brought back Deebo Samuel on a one-year deal, but I'll still be drafting Stribling at cost. Christian Kirk (calf) is also dealing with an injury to open camp. At this point in Kirk's career, he can't be counted on to stay healthy or be an effective weekly cog of an NFL passing attack. Stribling had a solid collegiate career, with his skill set fitting what the 49ers want from their receivers. During his final two collegiate seasons, he posted 2.15 and 2.44 yards per route run with 7.3 and 6.7 yards after the catch per reception (17 missed tackles forced across both seasons, per PFF). Stribling offers the 49ers a varied skill set with shades of what they have hoped to get from Pearsall. He can make players miss in space, outrun them with the ball in his hands (4.36 40-yard dash), and create yards after the catch. Stribling is a great late-round selection in fantasy football drafts in 2026.

115.
KC Concepcion
WR - CLE (at CIN)
KC Concepcion has the talent to be Cleveland's clear WR1 this season. Where he's priced in drafts, all of the risk of bad quarterback play and Denzel Boston and Harold Fannin Jr. competing with him for the team target lead is priced in. The upside if he is the true WR1 isn't. Concepcion is a receiver that can threaten a defense at all three levels while also making things happen after the catch with the ball in his hands. In two of his last three collegiate seasons, he ranked top 35 in FBS in YAC per reception (26th, 33rd, per PFF). In 2023, Concepcion was 17th in missed tackles forced among FBS wide receivers. He's a wonderful late-round dart to toss in every format. Hell, draft him, and Boston, considering the cost and cut the player who is lagging behind in target share by Week 4.

116.
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 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.

117.
Makai Lemon
WR - PHI (at NYG)
Makai Lemon enters the Eagles' depth chart as their possible WR2 this season behind DeVonta Smith. We have seen Jalen Hurts support multiple receivers in numerous seasons, so it wouldn't be a shock to see Hurts do it again this season and Lemon be a big beneficiary. Lemon finishes a productive collegiate career ranking sixth and 12th in yards per route run, ninth and 50th in missed tackles forced, and 60th and 28th in YAC per reception over the last two seasons (per PFF). Lemon is a solid WR4 to scoop up in drafts that could easily produce as a weekly WR2/3 during the heart of the fantasy season.

118.
Jakobi Meyers
WR - JAC (at IND)
Last year, in Weeks 13-18, with Brian Thomas Jr. back in the lineup, Parker Washington doing his thing, and Trevor Lawrence playing with his hair on fire, Jakobi Meyers was the WR28 in fantasy points per game. During that six-game stretch, he was seeing a 22.6% target share and a 26.7% first-read share, producing 54.7 receiving yards per game, 1.62 yards per route run, and 0.094 first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Lawrence was playing at a level that was likely unsustainable to expect for him to continue for a full season, but that doesn't mean that Meyers can't be the WR2 in the offense this season and outkick his ADP cost. Meyers is best viewed as a possible WR3/flex option this season if Lawrence can pick up where he left off.

119.
Isaiah Likely
TE - NYG (vs . PHI)
Isaiah Likely's 2025 season was crushed by a foot injury that he sustained in the preseason. I can't honestly tell you that he was fully healthy last season, or when that occurred, if so. I'm tossing his 2025 campaign in the trash. So, let's be kind and rewind to 2024. During that season, among 57 qualifying tight ends, Likely ranked 17th in target per route run rate, tenth in yards per route run, and eighth in first downs per route run and fantasy points per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). After signing a lucrative deal with the Giants this offseason, Likely should be their clear starting tight end and a strong part of their passing game, with only Darnell Mooney, Darius Slayton, Calvin Austin, and Malachi Fields to contend with for targets behind Malik Nabers. Likely could easily be a solid TE1 this season and is worth a late-round dart in a ton of drafts in 2026.

120.
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.

121.
Jordan Love
QB - GB (vs . DET)
Yes, I understand Jordan Love has been a mid-range QB2 over the last two years (QB17, QB16) since his massive breakout in 2023 (QB5), but that hasn't been because Love sucks. He has been locked in a run-first, run-always offense. Could that still be the case this year? Possibly, but if Green Bay increases its pass rate to even league-average standards (last year Weeks 1-15, eighth-best in neutral rushing rate), Love could return to QB1 land. Love has proven over the last three seasons that he can sustain above-average passing touchdown rates (5.5%, 5.9%, 5.2%), so I don't see him backsliding in that category. Last year, among 38 qualifying quarterbacks, Love was eighth in yards per attempt, fifth in hero throw rate, 15th in catchable target rate, and 13th (tied) in fantasy points per dropback. Love's QB2 production is priced into his ADP; his upside as a QB1 is not.

122.
Matthew Golden
WR - GB (vs . DET)
After all the hype for Matthew Golden last year, he was only a part-time player for Green Bay in his rookie season. He had only five games in which he surpassed a 60% snap share. When he was on the field, he had a 17% target-per-route-run rate, 1.46 yards per route run, and 0.065 first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Among 109 qualifying receivers, he was 16th in separation and 67th in route win rate. The separation score is notable, but all of his other metrics and the fact that he had a quiet rookie season leave me unimpressed. Golden can take a step forward this season as the primary running mate with Christian Watson in two-receiver sets, and it can still be uninspiring. The Green Bay passing attack will still flow through Christian Watson and Tucker Kraft this season, with everyone else playing a role or a bit part, or at least that is how I'm projecting it. I'm avoiding Golden in drafts this season.

123.
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.

124.
Baker Mayfield
QB - TB (at NO)
Baker Mayfield had a tough fall from grace in 2025 as the QB17 in fantasy points per game after a wondrous QB4 campaign in 2024. Mayfield dealt with injuries to his receiver room and his offensive line while also struggling with injuries himself. In 2025, Mayfield had a bruised and battered throwing arm while also suffering a sprained MCL/PCL, a bicep tendon strain, and left shoulder issues. Among 38 qualifying quarterbacks, he was 24th in yards per attempt, 35th in adjusted completion rate, 22nd in catchable target rate, and 11th-worst in turnover-worthy throw rate (per Fantasy Points Data). Assuming Mayfield sees better health in 2026, he should enjoy a bounce-back season. Yes, Mike Evans is gone, but Mayfield still has a deep cupboard of skilled receivers to toss to this season. His rushing production over the last two seasons (at least 378 rushing yards each year) has also been a nice bump to his fantasy ceiling and floor. I don't expect that to go away. Mayfield could easily be a top 12 fantasy quarterback in 2026 that you're drafting as a mid-range QB2.
|
|
125.
Romeo Doubs
WR - NE (vs . MIA)
Romeo Doubs lands with the New England Patriots and should be Drake Maye's clear WR2 behind A.J. Brown. He should see a volume bump with the Pats, simply moving from an offense that was 30th in neutral passing rate last year (Green Bay) to one that was ninth in neutral passing rate. I wouldn't be surprised if the Pats increase their neutral passing rate this season, either with the arrival of Brown and Doubs and Drake Maye having another year in Josh McDaniels' offensive system. Also add in Green Bay's love of rotating receivers and Doubs 72.8% route share last year, and it's not difficult to see Doubs being a late-round value. Last year, Doubs was the WR43 in fantasy points per game with five weeks in weekly scoring as a top 25 fantasy wideout. Last year, among 109 qualifying wide receivers, Doubs was 36th in target per route run rate, 31st in yards per route run, 18th in first downs per route run, and 27th in fantasy points per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Also among those 109 receivers, Doubs was 23rd in separation and fifth in route win rate. He's primed to explode this season with WR2/3 upside if everything goes right.

126.
Juwan Johnson
TE - NO (vs . TB)
Last year, Juwan Johnson finished with a career high in targets, receptions, and receiving yards as the TE11 in fantasy points per game. The Saints' offense caught fire in the back half of last season, and with the trade of Rashid Shaheed and no other complementary option stepping up alongside Chris Olave, Juwan Johnson saw his role grow. With the arrival of Jordyn Tyson, Bryce Lance, and Oscar Delp this offseason, Johnson could see his role diminish somewhat unless Tyler Shough takes a big step forward and he's able to support at least three receiving options weekly in the offense. Tyson's latest hamstring injury does create a lane for Johnson to reprise his late-season usage of 2025. Last year, among 54 qualifying tight ends, Johnson was 13th in target share, seventh in receiving yards per game, 15th in yards per route run, 11th in first-read share, and 23rd in first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Johnson could be a TE1 again this season, but he's best viewed as a TE2 with upside. With Tyson slated to miss the first few weeks of the NFL season, Johnson is also a nice candidate to pair with someone like George Kittle if you're waiting on tight ends in drafts.

127.
Xavier Worthy
WR - KC (vs . LV)
I had zero interest in drafting Xavier Worthy for fantasy purposes last year, and I don't have any in 2026. Last year, he finished as the WR54 in fantasy points per game with only one week as a top-24 wide receiver in weekly scoring. Last year, after returning from a shoulder injury (Weeks 4-17), he only had a 15.8% target share, 1.40 yards per route run, 40.9 receiving yards per game, a 19.5% first-read share, 0.058 first downs per route run, and 8.5 PPR points per game (per Fantasy Points Data). I'll happily avoid Worthy in drafts again this year. If it burns me, it burns me (I don't think it will).
|
|
128.
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.
|
|
129.
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).
|
|
130.
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.
|
|
131.
Jake Ferguson
TE - DAL (at WAS)
Last year, Jake Ferguson managed his second TE10 finish in fantasy points per game among tight ends in the last three years. Last year, among 54 qualifying tight ends, Ferguson was 16th in target share (16%), 20th in receiving yards per game (35.3), 43rd in yards per route run (1.26), 18th in first-read share (17.6%), and 38th in first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). What fueled his season was red zone targets (second among tight ends behind only Trey McBride) and touchdowns (tied for third-best). Ferguson isn't likely to continue with that high-end touchdown production. If that slips, he's a mid-range TE2. I'm avoiding him in most drafts.
|
|
132.
Jalen Coker
WR - CAR (vs . ATL)
The Carolina passing attack will flow through Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker this season, especially with Chris Brazzell now missing up to eight weeks with a torn LCL. Last year, when Coker was at his healthiest (quad injury early in the year) during Weeks 13-19, he was challenging Tetairoa McMillan for the top spot in Carolina's aerial attack. During that stretch, Coker had a 20% target share (McMillan 18.3%), 2.30 yards per route run (McMillan 1.78), four red zone targets (McMillan, one), and a 28.3% first-read share (McMillan 26.1% per Fantasy Points Data). In those six games played, Coker finished with at least 14 PPR points four times. Coker is a late-round priority for me this season. The massive divide between McMillan and Coker in ADP should not exist. Enjoy the value.
|
|
133.
Mark Andrews
TE - BAL (vs . PIT)
Mark Andrews is coming off easily his worst season in the NFL as the TE23 in fantasy points per game. Last year, Baltimore limited his playing time, as he was 22nd in route share (62.9%, per Fantasy Points Data). I'm expecting that to rebound in 2026 with Isaiah Likely gone, but we still have to see it materialize. Last year, among 59 qualifying tight ends, Andrews was ninth in first read share, but his yards per route run (41st) and first downs per route run (27th) were nothing to write home about. He's worth taking a flier on late in drafts as your tight end two with the hopes that he can rebound with more playing time in a new offensive system and give us a throwback season in 2026.
|
|
134.
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.

135.
Khalil Shakir
WR - BUF (vs . NYJ)
At this point in his career, we know who Khalil Shakir is. A low-ceiling WR3/4 or flex play on a weekly basis in PPR formats. Over the last two seasons, he has finished as the WR39 and WR33 in fantasy points per game. With the arrival of D.J. Moore this offseason, I don't see anything changing for Shakir. Last year, among 109 qualifying receivers, Shakir was 36th in target share, 55th in receiving yards per game, 41st in yards per route run, 38th in first-read share, and 80th in first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Shakir is a bye-week replacement flex play at best this season.

136.
Deebo Samuel Sr.
WR - SF (at ARI)
Deebo Samuel rejoins the San Francisco 49ers on a one-year deal after a one-year dalliance with the Commanders. Samuel will compete with De'Zhaun Stribling to be the WR2 in the pecking order behind Mike Evans. Last year, Samuel was the WR29 in fantasy points per game while putting up a varied stat line. Samuel posted some metrics that make me want to feel bullish about his 2026 outlook, but there are also concerning pieces of his analytical profile. Let's start out with the good. Last year, among 109 qualifying receivers, Samuel was 18th in target share (22.4%), ninth in yards after the catch per reception (6.6), 21st in first-read share (27.3%), and ninth-best in missed tackles forced per reception. Unfortunately, though, among the same sample of receivers, he was also 38th in yards per route run and 53rd in first downs per route run (0.076) while seeing his usual bevy of underneath targets (5.3 aDOT, 103rd out of 109 qualifying receivers). I find myself more in than out with Samuel for 2026. His ability to break tackles and create with the ball in his hands has always been his calling card, and he's still posting stellar metrics in those departments and target-earning areas. The per-route efficiency worries I'll chalk up to Washington's struggling offense last season. Samuel should be a viable WR3/flex with upside for 2026 in the 49ers' offense.

Tyjae Spears
RB - TEN (at HOU)

138.
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.

Mike Washington Jr.
RB - LV (at KC)
After the injury scare over the weekend concerning Ashton Jeanty, it was believed that Mike Washington Jr. would go screaming up the draft boards. Initial fears were that he could have sustained a season-ending injury, but it's been confirmed that it is a sprained ankle. The severity isn't known at the time of me penning this update, but the takeaway remains the same for Mike Washington Jr. Washington Jr. is one of the best handcuffs in fantasy. If Jeanty were to miss any time, Washington Jr. would be an immediate volume-driven RB2 in fantasy. He has looked amazing this preseason with an every-down skillset. Washington Jr. tested like an alien during the pre-draft 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.

Rashid Shaheed
WR - SEA (at LAR)
Last year, after becoming a Seahawk, Rashid Shaheed had only a 61.9% route share, an 8.8% target share with 20.9 receiving yards per game, 1.05 yards per route run, and a 12.3% first-read share (per Fantasy Points Data). This type of usage isn't conducive to fantasy success. Yes, could it trend upward in 2026 with a full offseason to learn the ropes? Sure, but Seattle was 29th in 11 personnel usage last year (41.3%), and I don't see that changing this season. Unless Shaheed can hop Copper Kupp on the depth chart or Kupp gets injured, it will still be tough for Shaheed to see a 70-80% route share and be productive in a run-centric offense. I'm avoiding Shaheed in drafts in all formats.

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.

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.

143.
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.

144.
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.

145.
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).

146.
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.

147.
Denzel Boston
WR - CLE (at CIN)
Denzel Boston was a baller in college. In his final season, he had the fifth-best contested catch rate (min ten contested targets) among FBS wide receivers while also posting 2.44 yards per route run. He finished college with a 79th percentile college dominator and an 86th percentile collegiate target share. Boston will compete with KC Concepcion and Harold Fannin Jr. for the team lead in targets in 2026. The worries about the quarterback play in Cleveland and the certainty that other players will out-target him are pushing Boston down the board. Boston could easily be the Browns' WR1 after we flip over the cards for the 2026 season, and it's not reflected in his draft price at all. Draft him and Concepcion late and see how it plays out in the first few weeks of the season. There will be value to mine in this passing attack.

148.
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.
|
|
149.
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.

Josh Jacobs
RB - GB (vs . DET)
Josh Jacobs' 2026 outlook is murky at best right now, after being placed on the commissioner's exempt list. Josh Jacobs has been charged with misdemeanor battery and criminal damage. The NFL's selective nature with suspensions in terms of length when they are handed out is all over the map. I wouldn't be surprised to see Jacobs suspended this season, but I would also not be shocked if he wasn't suspended or the suspension didn't hit until the 2027 season. Jacobs could be back with Green Bay in short order or miss most of the fantasy season (maybe all of it). With all of this uncertainty swirling around Jacobs, I'm avoiding him in drafts. Josh Jacobs has been the RB8 and RB9 in fantasy points per game during his two seasons in Green Bay. he dealt with a knee injury last season, which impacted his snap share and effectiveness. Last year, after Week 6, he surpassed 60% of the snaps in only two games. Last year, he ranked 22nd in explosive run rate and 19th in missed tackle rate (per Fantasy Points Data). Jacobs' touchdown equity in the Green Bay offense has helped him a ton over the last two seasons, as he has averaged 15 total touchdowns per season while ranking ninth and fifth in red zone touches. Jacobs is a wild-card pick for the 2026 fantasy season. If you select him, I would prioritize MarShawn Lloyd in your draft plan.

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

152.
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.
|
|
153.
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. I don't expect newly minted Texan, Kayshon Boutte, to fill a high-volume role in the Houston passing attack.

|
154.
Jordyn Tyson
WR - NO (vs . TB)
Jordyn Tyson should become the second target in the Saints' offense this season once he's healthy, but right now his health for the 2026 season is the biggest question. Sadly, Tyson is dealing with another hamstring injury that will linger into the regular season (possibly into Week 7). This automatically makes him a player that I'm avoiding unless he slips past his ADP. Tyson is a decent bet as your WR4/5, but it's impossible to trust him in fantasy this season as more than that. Over the last two collegiate seasons, Tyson has ranked 60th and 11th in yards per route run and 12th and 15th in receiving grade (per PFF). Last year, in Weeks 12-18, New Orleans was fifth in neutral passing rate and 11th in pass rate over expectation. Tyson can't be counted on for more than a midseason flex play or stretch-run difference-maker at his point and that's only if his problematic hamstrings permit it.
|
|
155.
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.
|
|
156.
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.

157.
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.
|
|
158.
Kayshon Boutte
WR - HOU (vs . TEN)
Kayshon Boutte lands with the Houston Texans and should serve as their field stretcher and the wide receiver who is playing in two-wide sets with Nico Collins. Last year, Boutte was the WR47 in fantasy points per game, with five games in weekly fantasy scoring as a top-24 option. Among 109 qualifying receivers, he ranked 48th in separation score and 44th in route win rate (per Fantasy Points Data). Among that same sample of receivers, he ranked fourth in aDOT (17.5) while drawing a 10.9% target share with 39.4 receiving yards per game, 1.56 yards per route run, a 14% first-read share, and 0.076 first downs per route run. Boutte will be a matchup-dependent flex this season, likely filling a similar role with Houston, but there's upside for more in 2026 if C.J. Stroud can recapture any of his rookie season magic.

159.
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.

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.
|
|
162.
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.

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.
|
|
164.
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.
|
|
165.
Terrance Ferguson
TE - LAR (vs . SEA)
Terrance Ferguson is a deep league dart that could pay off in 2026 if he can emerge from the dogpile of tight ends on the Rams' depth chart. In his rookie season, among 54 qualifying tight ends, he was 48th in target-per-route-run rate and 32nd in yards per route run, which isn't impressive, but he played a field-stretching role. Ferguson was first in aDOT with an absurd 18.3 mark, as he was utilized out wide or in the slot on 71.6% of his snaps (per Fantasy Points Data). Betting on a hyper-athletic second-year tight end who is free in drafts and residing in one of the best offenses in the NFL is never a bad bet.
|
|
166.
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.

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.
|

169.
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.

|
170.
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.

171.
Tre' Harris
WR - LAC (at DEN)
Ok, let me get this out of the way first. I loved Tre Harris as a prospect, but there's not a ton to get overly excited about from this rookie season. He had only a 39.9% route share with a 15% target-per-route run rate, 1.19 yards per route run, and 0.066 first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). I still have faith that he can blossom in his second season. Yes, I know I'm leaning on my priors here and my thoughts about him as a prospect, but he's a free dart throw at the end of drafts right now. Just to be kind and rewind, we're discussing a player who was first in yards per route run, first in yards per route run against man coverage, and 19th in YAC per reception in his final season in college (per PFF). I'm willing to forget his rookie season and take a shot on him late in drafts again in 2026, with the hope that the talent is still there and he can breakout this season.
|
|
172.
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.
|
|
173.
Jauan Jennings
WR - MIN (vs . CHI)
After a slow start last season (in Weeks 7-18), Jauan Jennings was the WR21 in fantasy points per game, commanding a 19.5% target share with 46.1 receiving yards per game, 1.67 yards per route run, 0.095 first downs per route run, and a 28.9% first-read share (per Fantasy Points Data). Those are all decent to strong metrics, but here's the problem. Jennings is no longer with the 49ers. He signed with the Vikings this offseason and profiles as the third or fourth option in the passing attack that is led by Kyler Murray. Murray isn't exactly a passer who has shown he can support three weapons (or more) on a weekly basis for fantasy. Jennings could have some flex appeal and be a bye-week fill-in for teams during the season, but I don't want to draft him this year and count on him as a weekly flex option.
|
|
174.
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.

175.
Keenan Allen
WR - IND (vs . JAC)
Well, it's official. Keenan Allen is a Colt for the 2026 season. Yes, this is signal related to Alec Pierce's health, but it's also a reflection of the Colts' receiving depth chart. All offseason, this team has been painfully thin at wide receiver behind Alec Pierce and Josh Downs. Allen will immediately help in that department. Last year, Allen proved that he still has gas in the tank on multiple levels as the WR36 in fantasy points per game. Among 109 qualifying receivers, he was 54th in overall separation, 14th in overall route win rate, 22nd in slot yards per route run (2.09), and 18th in route win rate as a perimeter wide receiver (per Fantasy Points Data). Last year, Allen ran 60.5% of his routes as a perimeter wide receiver while drawing a 20.7% target share with 45.7 receiving yards per game, 1.72 yards per route run, a 24.4% first-read share, and 0.108 first downs per route run. Allen and Josh Downs could rotate between the slot and the perimeter once Alec Pierce is back on the field. Until Pierce is back, I would expect Allen and Downs to be the receivers on the field in two-wide sets. Allen could easily function in the Michael Pittman Jr. role in this offense from 2025 and put Downs back into a slot-only role once Pierce is back. Allen is a viable WR3/4 this season or a flex play with a lean toward PPR formats.

176.
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.

177.
Jerry Jeudy
WR - CLE (at CIN)
I didn't draft Jerry Jeudy anywhere last year, and I don't expect that to change in 2026. With Harold Fannin Jr., Denzel Boston, and KC Concepcion leading the way for the Cleveland passing attack this year, I expect Jeudy to be on the outside looking in. Last year, Jeudy was the WR61 in fantasy points per game with an 18.6% target share, 1.09 yards per route run, 0.056 first downs per route run, and a 25.3% first-read share (per Fantasy Points Data). He had 104 targets last year and did little to nothing with them. Avoid Jeudy in all formats this year.

Houston Texans
DST - HOU (vs . TEN)
Houston finished as the DST1 in fantasy points per game last year, and I don't see why they can't do it again in 2026. Last season, they finished fourth in drives ending in a turnover, third in interceptions, and seventh in sacks. Their roster remains stacked, and they added reinforcements with Kayden McDonald, Jadevenon Clowney, and Reed Blankenship. They will be an elite defense again this season.

Ja'Kobi Lane
WR - BAL (vs . PIT)
Ja'Kobi Lane has been the talk of training camp and preseason football. He could easily be a late-round dart that hits in 2026, with a clear path to targets for a talented receiver behind Zay Flowers. Mark Andrews is a giant question mark, and Rashod Bateman has off-field issues that could lead to a suspension. I don't expect the Ravens to morph into a high-volume passing offense this season, but Lane could still have weekly value in fantasy even if the target volume is capped. During his final collegiate season, Lane ranked 52nd in yards per route run and 27th in receiving grade (per PFF).

181.
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.

182.
Los Angeles Rams
DST - LAR (vs . SEA)
It's scary to think that the Rams were the second-best defense last season in fantasy points per game, and they added more firepower to the depth chart this offseason. Yes, their big-ticket adds of Myles Garrett and Trent McDuffie stole the headlines, but adding Jaylen Watson to start opposite McDuffie should be a massive upgrade at CB2 for 2026. The Rams were fourth in pressure rate, seventh in sacks, and sixth in interceptions last season, and they could improve upon all of those marks this season.
|
|
183.
Denver Broncos
DST - DEN (vs . LAC)
Last year, Denver was the DST6 in fantasy points per game, and they should be considered at worst a top-ten option for 2026. Last season, they allowed the fewest net yards per attempt, the fourth-fewest passing touchdowns, and they were second in pressure rate (first in sacks). Their roster remains stacked and should roll again this season.
|
|
184.
Seattle Seahawks
DST - SEA (at LAR)
Seattle fielded an absolutely nasty defense last year that finished as the DST3 in fantasy points per game. They allowed the second-fewest net yards per pass attempt, had the sixth-highest rate of drives ending in a turnover, and generated the sixth-highest pressure rate (seventh-most sacks). Yes, they lost Coby Bryant, Tariq Woolen, and Boye Mafe this offseason, but I still expect this defense to be an elite unit in 2026.
|
|
185.
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.
|
|
186.
Omar Cooper Jr.
WR - NYJ (at BUF)
Omar Cooper Jr. is a viable late-round dart throw. Yes, I have concerns about the Jets' passing attack outside of Garrett Wilson. How many players can Geno Smith support in fantasy in 2026 when he was wretched last year? Considering Cooper's late-round ADP, though, the risk is all baked in, and expectations are low. Cooper has the talent to outperform them. During his final season in college, he was 36th in yards per route run, 27th in YAC per reception, and fourth in missed tackles (per PFF). Cooper displayed the ability to operate in the slot and on the perimeter in college, so don't be surprised if he is playing in two wide receiver sets in short order in 2026.
|
|
187.
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.
|
|
188.
Philadelphia Eagles
DST - PHI (at NYG)
The Eagles were the DST11 in fantasy points per game last season. They should still be considered a strong DST1 for 2026. Their secondary is absolutely nasty and added Tariq Woolen this offseason to pair with Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean. Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis will anchor a defensive line that ranked 14th in pressure rate last year. The offseason additions of Arnold Ebiketie and Jonathon Greenard could help bump them back into the top ten in pressure rate this season.

Malik Davis

190.
Brandon Aubrey
K - DAL (at WAS)
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.
|
|
191.
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.
|
|
192.
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.
|
|
193.
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.
|
|
194.
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.

Sean Tucker
RB - TB (at NO)

196.
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.
|
|
197.
Pittsburgh Steelers
DST - PIT (at BAL)
The Steelers were the DST5 in fantasy points per game, and they could be a top-five unit again in 2026. Last year, Pittsburgh had the eighth-most interceptions, the fifth-highest rate of drives ending in a turnover, and the sixth-most sacks. They still have a stacked defensive depth chart with the ageless Cameron Heyward and a strong secondary led by Joey Porter Jr and Jamel Dean.
|
|
198.
New England Patriots
DST - NE (vs . MIA)
The Pats were the DST8 in fantasy points per game last year, and they could be a top-ten unit again in 2026. Last year, New England allowed the 14th-fewest net yards per attempt and the 12th-fewest yards per carry. The additions of Kevin Byard and Dre'Mont Jones will help. The back end of this secondary, led by Christian Gonzalez, Carlton Davis, and Marcus Jones, will still be the strength of this defense.
|
|
199.
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.
|
|
200.
Baltimore Ravens
DST - BAL (vs . PIT)
Betting on Baltimore as a top-12 defense in 2026 for fantasy is investing a lot of faith in Jesse Minter to get this unit back on track. It's definitely possible, as the talent is still there. Nanamdi Madubuike, Trey Hendrickson, Kyle Hamilton, Nate Wiggins, Malaki Starks, and Marlon Humphrey bring the star power for that dream to be a reality in 2026.
|
|
201.
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.
|
|
202.
Jacksonville Jaguars
DST - JAC (at IND)
Last year, Jacksonville was the DST9 in fantasy points per game as they surprised many people (including myself). They gave up the fifth-fewest net yards per attempt, the fifth-fewest yards per carry, and forced the second-most interceptions. Travis Hunter could give this defense a big boost at corner if he plays there in a full-time capacity in 2026. Losing Devin Lloyd, Andrew Wingard, and Greg Newsome could sting, but this defense still has enough talent to be a top 12 fantasy defense this season.
|
|
203.
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.
|
|
204.
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).
|
|
205.
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).
|
|
206.
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.
|
|
207.
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.
|
|
208.
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.
|
|
209.
Jaylin Noel
WR - HOU (vs . TEN)
With Jayden Higgins out for the year with a torn ACL, one of the players who could be asked to step up and into a bigger role in 2026 is Jaylin Noel. Noel played 67.2% of his snaps from the slot last year, so the worry is how much he'll be on the field this season, but Houston was fifth in usage of 11 personnel (65.9%), so he could see a near full-time workload. Houston's move to acquire Kayshon Boutte does make it an almost certainty that Noel won't be on the field in two-wide receiver sets. Boutte will likely be that guy opposite Nico Collins in wide receiver formations. Last year, in the four games (yes, it's a small sample), Noel played at least 33% of the snaps (76 routes); he had insane per-route efficiency with a 25% target-per-route run rate, 2.46 yards per route run, and 0.132 first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Am I expecting him to put up those types of numbers on a per-route basis over the length of a full season? Hell no, but this is just to illustrate the talent that Noel has when he actually saw the field with regularity last year. Noel is a late-round dart that could hit in a big way in 2026.

Kaytron Allen
RB - WAS (vs . DAL)
|

213.
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.
|
|
214.
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.
|
|
215.
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.
|
|
216.
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.
|
|
217.
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.
|
|
218.
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.
|
|
219.
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.
|
|
220.
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.
|
|
221.
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.

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.
|
|
227.
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. But Loop missed a critical kick in last season's playoffs and has been shaky in the preseason, so he doesn't have complete job security.
|
|
228.
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.
|
|
229.
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.
|
|
230.
Devaughn Vele
WR - NO (vs . TB)
Devaughn Vele should see an expanded role to start the season with Jordyn Tyson sidelined with a hamstring injury. In his last four games with the Saints last season, he averaged just south of 10 PPG in half-PPR (minimum WR4 production for all four games).
|
|
231.
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.
|
|
232.
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.

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.

234.
Greg Dulcich
TE - MIA (at NE)
Greg Dulcich could be THE late-round tight end to draft in 2026. Last year, he was absolutely awesome when on the field. Among 59 qualifying tight ends, he was fifth in target-per-route-run rate (24%), second in yards per route run (2.64) and yards after the catch per reception (7.69), fifth in first downs per route run (0.110), and sixth in fantasy points per route run (0.50, per Fantasy Points Data). Miami is starved for capable pass catchers for Malik Willis, and with only Will Kacmarek, Seydou Traore, and Ben Sims behind him on the tight end depth chart, Dulcich should be the Dolphins' every-down tight end. I won't be surprised if he finishes the season as a TE1.

235.
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.

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.

241.
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.
|
|
242.
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.

243.
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.

Ted Hurst III
WR - TB (at NO)
Ted Hurst is making waves in training camp. He could push for a starting job quicker than many anticipate if he can push Jalen McMillan aside. His play strength is surprising for his frame. He doesn't get pushed off routes and fits through contact well. Hurst has immediate and fluid speed with easy change of direction. He loses little speed when subtly changing directions mid-route. Hurst has a nice home run gear in the open field. He's a refined route runner with a varied release package. Hurst can invite indecision in cornerbacks' heads as he sets them up and dances in their blind spot. He sells the vertical push well and has solid hip sink and deceleration skills for a player his size. Hurst can play above the rim with good adjustment to back shoulder throws and nice body control in the air. He displays a large catch radius and late hands. I know he attended a smaller school in college, but the talent is real. He was 24th in missed tackles among all FBS/FCS wide receivers (minimum 50 targets, per PFF) in his final season, while overall posting an 84th percentile collegiate target share and 67th percentile collegiate dominator. Take a flier on Hurst in the final round of your drafts this season.

248.
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.

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).
|

251.
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.

Antonio Williams
WR - WAS (vs . DAL)
Antonio Williams' rookie season outlook took a massive hit with Stefon Diggs signing with the Commanders. Williams could still have his moments as a flex option in 2026, but I wouldn't count on him as anything more than a bye-week flex option unless Diggs gets hurt. During his final season in college, Williams ranked 69th in yards per route run and 39th in receiving grade as an underneath slot option.

257.
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.

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.

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.

263.
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.

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.

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. |

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.

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 will start the season backing up veteran Deshaun Watson but has a good chance to get starts at some point 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 won a battle with second-year man Shedeur Sanders to be the Browns' Week 1 starter, although it remains to be seen how long he'll keep the job. 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.

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.

Kyle Williams
WR - NE (vs . MIA)
Kyle Williams' rookie season was essentially a red-shirt season. With Kayshon Boutte traded to the Houston Texans, Williams will likely take over his field-stretching role, which could lead to some nice matchup-dependent flex weeks. Last year, Williams had only a 27.6% route share while producing a 12% target-per-route run rate with 1.24 yards per route run (18.2 aDOT, per Fantasy Points Data). Williams has been a beast during the preseason with 3.47 yards per route run (20.4 aDOT, per PFF). Unless there are injuries to the New England receiving depth chart, I don't expect Williams to have a high-volume role, but he could easily be a nice bye-week flex at multiple spots in the 2026 season or a last-round best-ball pick that pays off.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Last year, they were DST26 in fantasy points per game, but this offseason they kept adding talent to the defensive side of the ball. Caleb Downs, Rashan Gary, Malachi Lawrence, Jaishawn Barham, and Jalen Thompson could help transform this defense into a nasty unit. Yes, their secondary, namely their starting corners (Cobie Durant, DaRon Bland, and possibly Shavon Revel), has to prove they are up to the task, but the talent is there. We just have to see it manifest on the field.

Tyler Bass
K - BUF (vs . NYJ)
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.

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.

Cincinnati Bengals
DST - CIN (vs . CLE)
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.
