Top Player Lists

My list would be Mahomes, Lamar, Josh, Burrow, Deck, Stafford, Love, and then I don't care... But that would be my top seven.

Already have Sonny Styles at number one, Johnny Newton at number two, and Trey Amos at number three for our breakout candidates list on the defensive side of things here in 2026... Mikey Sainter still he's he's three a... Number four, Joshua Joseph's defensive lineman, the rookie.

What you know Mahomes, by the way, is gonna be fifty eighth on this list. Oh, it's gonna be it's gonna be so egregiously bad

So number 15 is Chase Brown. Number 14 is Jeremiah Love. Number 13 is Javonte Williams. Number 12 is Deandre Swift, and number 11 is Kyran Williams... Number 10, Travis ETN. Number nine, Kenneth Walker. And number eight, Breece Hall... this is number seven, Derrick Henry, and number six, Saquon Barkley... This is number five, Devon Achain, number four, James Cook, and number three, Christian McCaffrey... Number two, Jameer Gibbs, and number one, Bijon Robinson... He would have been number three. Push everybody down a spot. Kenneth Walker would have been number 10. Travis ETN would have been off my list.

It's it's Jeremiah Love sneaks into the top 10 of running backs, for, for 2026... Then Hall, McCaffrey, Henry, Taylor, Cook, H. Chan, Barkley, Gibbs, and Bijon.

it is gonna go Kyron Williams at number 10... Kenneth Walker is number nine... he's sitting there at number eight for me... I went with Saquon bark Barkley at seven, Derrick Henry at six, and James Cook at five... I'm going Devon h Chain at number four... Jonathan Taylor... And Jameer Gibbs... It's Bijon Robinson for me

So my tenth ranked running back for this season is one player by himself, Jeremiah Love... James Cook... lands him in the Leonard Williams tier at number nine... Number eight, Breece Hall. Number seven, Devon A chain... It's Derek Henry at number six... We got Christian McCaffrey at number five, Jonathan Taylor at number four, and Saquon Barkley at number three... Number two, Jahmier Gibbs. And number one, Bijon Robinson.

Tucker has produced a consensus rankings of the top 10 as, agreed upon by voting for KC Sports Network. It's Jeffrey Simmons, Chris Jones, Quinton Williams with the Craig Stout bump. Big decks, Byron Murphy, Leonard Williams, Jaylen Carter, Zach Allen, Vita Vea, and Cameron Hayward have all achieved the top 10.

Number 10, Dexter Lawrence... Pela Carter is number nine on mine. Number eight is Osa Odigazuwa... problem causers... Kobe Turner... he moves up to number seven... Vita Vea, and number five, Zach Allen... standard bearers. This is Chris Jones at number four, Leonard Williams at number three... game wreckers. Number two, Quinton Williams and number one, Jeffrey Simmons.

We got Jordan Davis in number 10... Derek Brown... And then Vinivea... the Leonard Williams tier... Leonard Williams and Quinton Williams... my only stand alone... Byron Murphy the second... failed to take the torch. Jalen Carter, number four... Dexter Lawrence... the house that Mississippi State built. This is who's at number two [Chris Jones]. Jeffrey Simmons at number one.

Kobi Turner... give me him with the number 10... number nine, Leonard Williams... Quentin Williams is sitting at eight... it's Jalen Carter... Zach Allen is the stand alone tier for me... Old but still elite... Cameron Hayward... Dexter Lawrence... Chris Jones (I had him at three)... My number two player... is Byron Murphy... Jeffrey Simmons is the best defensive tackle in football.

Patrick Mahomes answered all of our prayers... He's QB one... Travis has easily been in my opinion... Chris Jones is the the third pillar of this particular top five... Who doesn't top five without Tyreek?... Tyrann Mathieu was that guy.

I I think you could probably put Kelsey number two... I think he is probably number three on this list [Chris Jones]... I think it has to be Tyreek Hill... I'm going with the five b on mine, and I'm going to say Joe Tooney.

we are rolling through my running back power ranking tiers. 32 starters across the league, putting them into the tiers they belong in.

Tyler Shuck, number one. Chase Young, number two. Chris Olave, number three. Calvin Banks junior. Carl Granderson, cornerback Kool Aid McKendree as well as safety. Julian Blackman give us four through seven. And then eight was Jawan Johnson. Nine, David Edwards. 10, Travis h Han junior.

I'm gonna say Emmett Johnson... I met our Mason Thomas at four... I've got number three. I've got Monsourde Lane... And number two, I have Cyrus Allen... I have Peter Woods at my number one.

Number one, Josh Allen. Number two, DJ Moore. Number three, Spencer Brown. Four is James Cook. Five is Christian Benford. Six, Greg Russo. Seven is Cole Bishop. Eight is Dion Dawkins.
