- SportsLine's 2026 Fantasy Football Draft Bible ranks the top 150 players in non-, half-, and full-PPR leagues, with strategy tips for snake drafts, salary cap drafts, and other formats
- R.J. White and Josh Nagel prepared the guide; White has been SportsLine's No. 1 NFL expert since 2017 and is the current managing editor of Fantasy and betting content at CBS Sports
- Per current Fantasy football ADP, Jahmyr Gibbs, Bijan Robinson, and Ja'Marr Chase are the first three players off the board, while Dalton Schultz (ADP 162), Jauan Jennings (153), and Braelon Allen (156) are going in the late rounds
- White tabbed Bears RB Kyle Monangai as a breakout, noting he 'exploded for 176 rushing yards in his sole start last year' and could see a larger role with D'Andre Swift in the final year of his contract
- White flagged Eagles rookie WR Makai Lemon as having 'the most upside of all rookies at the position,' arguing A.J. Brown's move to New England creates a target vacuum alongside DeVonta Smith
- The guide also names potential first-round busts — players with 'massively inflated Fantasy football ADPs' that White says could 'completely sink your playoff hopes if over-drafted'
Why it matters: With the Hall of Fame Game in the books and the first full preseason week ahead, fantasy players now have a ranked top-150 from a pair of established analysts to anchor draft boards, plus position-specific sleepers (Monangai, Lemon) and bust warnings designed to separate informed picks from ADP-herd selections.
