Every positional finishes take
301–325 of 1,225
A.J. Brown to finish top 1 at his position, by fantasy points
AJB WR1 szn is loading.
Malik Willis to finish top 12 at his position, by fantasy points
Willis’s running prowess should have him flirting with QB1 production this year alone.
Jaylen Waddle to finish top 24 at his position, by fantasy points
You can easily draft him as a WR2 for your teams this season, who has WR1 upside.

Brock Purdy to finish top 10 at his position, by fantasy points
He is a top-10 quarterback who has rarely played with a healthy team.

Kyler Murray to finish top 10 at his position, by fantasy points
He has a legitimate path to a QB10 finish or better.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 29, 2026 Ashton Jeanty to finish top 5 at his position, by fantasy points
It's not hard to imagine a world where Jeanty is a top-five fantasy performer.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba to finish top 1 at his position, by receiving yards
Jaxon Smith-Njigba is arguably the best receiver in football.
Bijan Robinson to finish top 1 at his position, by fantasy points
Jahmyr Gibbs and Bijan Robinson enter 2026 as the favorites to finish as fantasy football's overall RB1.
Jonathan Taylor to finish top 1 at his position, by fantasy points
Christian McCaffrey and Jonathan Taylor have each accomplished the feat before, and another No. 1 finish from either veteran would hardly be surprising.
Jahmyr Gibbs to finish top 1 at his position, by fantasy points
Jahmyr Gibbs and Bijan Robinson enter 2026 as the favorites to finish as fantasy football's overall RB1.
De'Von Achane to finish top 10 at his position, by fantasy points
Achane’s talent, combined with his status as the clear focal point of the offense, should keep him safely among the top 10 fantasy running backs.
Christian McCaffrey to finish top 1 at his position, by fantasy points
Christian McCaffrey and Jonathan Taylor have each accomplished the feat before, and another No. 1 finish from either veteran would hardly be surprising.
DeVonta Smith to finish top 10 at his position, by fantasy points
Smith's ability to be a top-five or top-10 fantasy wide receiver will somewhat depend on the Eagles' ability to rebound as a team, but given the talent on the unit, that is a decent bet to make.
Garrett Wilson to finish top 10 at his position, by fantasy points
If the unit clicks, he has clear top-10 fantasy potential.
Kenneth Walker III to finish top 5 at his position, by fantasy points
If his usage expands in the passing game or Andy Reid leans more heavily on the run than in recent seasons, Walker has the upside to finish as a top-five fantasy running back.
Trevor Lawrence to finish top 10 at his position, by fantasy points
That should make Lawrence a top-10 option again, yet he is being drafted outside the top 10
Tyler Shough to finish top 12 at his position, by fantasy points
Tyler Shough is a wonderful late-round quarterback who could be a QB1 in 2026.
Jordan Love to finish top 10 at his position, by passing yards
Love might be a top-10 quarterback in reality, but it’s best to regard him as a high-end to midrange QB2 in 2026 fantasy drafts.
Malik Willis to finish top 12 at his position, by fantasy points
Willis’s running prowess should have him flirting with QB1 production this year alone. If he and this offense surpass lowly expectations through the air, Willis would be a strong QB1 with upside in 2026.
