- SportsLine says its 10,000 simulations generated rankings for almost every fantasy-relevant player at every position, citing past calls on Daniel Jones, Terry McLaurin, Tetairoa McMillan and De'Von Achane.
- Josh Allen remains the No. 1 fantasy quarterback despite 3,668 passing yards and 25 passing touchdowns last season, his fewest in either category over the past six years; he also totaled 41 rushing touchdowns over the last three seasons.
- Dak Prescott ranks ahead of Jayden Daniels and Drake Maye, breaking from ADP after the source says both quarterbacks are regularly selected earlier in drafts.
- Bijan Robinson tops the running back rankings after leading the position with 79 receptions and 820 receiving yards last season, while also ranking fourth in the NFL with 1,478 rushing yards.
- Puka Nacua leads the wide receiver rankings after averaging an NFL-best 107.2 receiving yards per game in 2025 and recording at least 72 yards or a touchdown in 15 games outside the one in which he was injured.
- Trey McBride remains the top tight end after averaging 8.1 catches, 80.3 yards and 10 total touchdowns in 12 games with Jacoby Brissett, compared with 5.8 catches, 55 yards and one touchdown in five games with Kyler Murray.
Why it matters: For fantasy managers facing roughly 15 draft rounds, the model offers a concrete alternative to human rankings eight days before kickoff; its clearest ADP divergence is Prescott over Daniels and Maye, who are regularly picked earlier. The source identifies Prescott as a potential middle-round steal.
