NFL fantasy rankings

here are my rankings for 11 insurance backs to consider on draft day.

Gibbs, Bijan Robinson, Ja’Marr Chase, and Nacua are the clear top four in fantasy this year, and I have no quarrel with any of them going ahead of Smith-Njigba. After that quartet, the fifth pick is his.

The 2026 Fantasy RB Board: Jahmyr Gibbs, Lions; Bijan Robinson, Falcons; Christian McCaffrey, SF; ... Dylan Sampson, Browns

Jackson is the QB2 in my four points per passing touchdown scoring rankings behind Josh Allen.

He is my TE1 for this season... The only tight end I would draft over Trey McBride is Brock Bowers

Bijan Robinson is the top overall player on my board

Puka Nacua leads all wide receivers: Nacua is the top-ranked fantasy wide receiver entering the season... We rank Nacua ahead of Chase because of how each performs in rough matchups, so Nacua is your likely best option

Here are my 2026 redraft kicker rankings, broken down into tiers... Aubrey is the clear No. 1 fantasy kicker... Dicker is the clear No. 2 fantasy kicker behind Brandon Aubrey

"I think he should be the number one pick in fantasy football over Bijan Robinson, a great one v two debate."

Warren might not be one of the elite fantasy TEs in 2026, but he should still be one of the first five tight ends off the board in this year’s drafts.

Colston Loveland (CHI) — RK3 ... Tyler Warren (IND) — RK4 ... Gunnar Helm (TEN) — RK24 ... Terrance Ferguson (LAR) — RK28

Otherwise, make your choice between Chase and Nakua. They're very close, but I prefer Chase.

ROUND 1: I consider there to be two elite players I would choose in this range: Jahmyr Gibbs and Bijan Robinson in that order. This applies to both standard and PPR leagues. I prefer Gibbs because he's on the better team and has the easier schedule.

Kittle is working back from a torn Achilles, making McBride and Bowers the clear top two for now.

Jonathan Taylor ranks third ... Jahmyr Gibbs takes the top spot: The Detroit Lions running back ranks ahead of Bijan Robinson and Christian McCaffrey
