- NFL schedule released for 2026, with OTAs underway and training camp starting in less than two months.
- SportsLine simulated the 2026 NFL season 10,000 times and published fantasy football rankings for both PPR and non‑PPR leagues.
- SportsLine model correctly forecasted Daniel Jones as a top‑15 fantasy quarterback entering 2025 and his eventual QB17 finish despite a season‑ending injury.
- Kenneth Gainwell projected as a 2026 fantasy sleeper after posting 1,023 scrimmage yards, 8 touchdowns, and 73 catches in 2025, and signing with the Buccaneers as a free agent.
Why it matters: Fantasy owners who follow SportsLine’s 10,000‑simulation rankings gain a draft edge, while rivals risk weaker lineups; the model’s proven accuracy (e.g., Daniel Jones) should boost SportsLine subscriptions.
