- SportsLine simulated the 2026 NFL season 10,000 times to release positional Fantasy football rankings, cheat sheets, sleepers, breakouts, and busts across every position.
- Josh Allen tops the QB rankings after finishing first or second in positional Fantasy points in each of the last six seasons, with 41 rushing touchdowns over the past three years — second most in the NFL regardless of position.
- Bijan Robinson is the No. 1 running back after leading all RBs in receptions (79) and receiving yards (820), while rushing for 1,478 yards (fourth in the NFL).
- Jahmyr Gibbs is ranked No. 2 RB, and in the six career games he's played without David Montgomery, he's averaged 152.3 scrimmage yards with 10 total touchdowns.
- Puka Nacua leads the WR rankings after pacing the NFL with 107.2 receiving yards per game in 2025 and posting zero Fantasy duds outside the game he was injured.
- Trey McBride is the No. 1 TE, averaging 8.1 catches for 80.3 yards and 10 total touchdowns in 12 games with Jacoby Brissett as starter, compared to 5.8 catches for 55 yards and 1 TD in five games with Kyler Murray.
- Drake Maye lands at No. 3 QB after a runner-up MVP season with 4,394 passing yards and 31 touchdowns, with the Patriots adding wideouts A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs this offseason.
Why it matters: Fantasy drafters now have a single model-driven source for top picks at all four positions, with Allen locked in at QB1. Gibbs is the biggest riser without Montgomery commanding touches, and Maye gets a boost with the Patriots adding A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs.
