- SportsLine released its 2026 Fantasy football draft bible featuring rankings, tiers, and a top 150 across non-, half-, and full-PPR leagues, prepared by experts R.J. White and Josh Nagel.
- Jahmyr Gibbs, Bijan Robinson, and Ja'Marr Chase are the first three players off the board per the latest Fantasy football ADP, while Baker Mayfield (ADP 131), Alvin Kamara (135), and C.J. Stroud (173) are going much later.
- Josh Allen stands alone in Tier 1 of White's quarterback rankings, with White citing 41 rushing touchdowns over the past three seasons as the floor/ceiling combination that separates him from the field.
- Tier 2 quarterbacks — Drake Maye, Justin Herbert, Lamar Jackson, and Joe Burrow — sit just below Allen, though White flagged potential Jayden Daniels-style regression concerns for Maye in his first year as an elite Fantasy talent.
- Tier 3 packs 12 quarterbacks including Jalen Hurts, Trevor Lawrence, Caleb Williams, Dak Prescott, Jayden Daniels, Patrick Mahomes, Brock Purdy, Jaxson Dart, Matthew Stafford, Jared Goff, Malik Willis, and Bo Nix — depth that White cited as his reason for waiting on the position in drafts.
- Daniel Jones lands in Tier 4 but is ranked QB27 by White because of concerns about his Achilles injury recovery, despite strong first-half Fantasy production with the Colts last season.
- The guide also covers sleepers, breakouts, busts to avoid, position-specific draft tips, and formats including snake and salary cap drafts.
Why it matters: SportsLine's 2026 draft bible gives Fantasy players a consolidated resource covering PPR formats, snake and salary-cap drafts, and tier-based QB strategy — surfacing concrete value gaps like a dozen Tier 3 quarterbacks, which White explicitly flagged as the reason to wait on the position rather than reach early.
