2026 Fantasy Football Rankings:
Fantasy football draft season is heating up, and rankings can change quickly during the preseason. Starting jobs are being decided, injuries are affecting depth charts, and player roles are becoming clearer every day.
That’s why we continue to update our 2026 fantasy football rankings as new information becomes available.
Here’s a free look at some of the players currently sitting near the top of our rankings.
TOP 5 QUARTERBACKS
1. Josh Allen — Buffalo Bills
2. Lamar Jackson — Baltimore Ravens
3. Drake Maye — New England Patriots
4. Jayden Daniels — Washington Commanders
5. Jalen Hurts — Philadelphia Eagles
ONE QB ON THE MOVE: KYLER MURRAY
One of the biggest developments came in Minnesota, where Kyler Murray was named the Vikings’ starting quarterback.
That removed one of the biggest questions surrounding his 2026 fantasy value.
Our Updated Ranking: QB15
With his rushing ability and the opportunity to play in Minnesota’s offense, Murray becomes a much more interesting fantasy option heading into drafts.
TOP 5 RUNNING BACKS — PPR
1. Jahmyr Gibbs — Detroit Lions
2. Bijan Robinson — Atlanta Falcons
3. De’Von Achane — Miami Dolphins
4. Christian McCaffrey — San Francisco 49ers
5. Jonathan Taylor — Indianapolis Colts
Gibbs and Robinson currently stand alone in our elite running back tier, while the competition behind them remains much tighter.
TOP 5 WIDE RECEIVERS — PPR
1. Ja’Marr Chase — Cincinnati Bengals
2. Puka Nacua — Los Angeles Rams
3. Jaxon Smith-Njigba — Seattle Seahawks
4. Amon-Ra St. Brown — Detroit Lions
5. Justin Jefferson — Minnesota Vikings
The wide receiver position is loaded again in 2026, with plenty of difficult draft decisions once you get beyond the elite options.
TOP 5 TIGHT ENDS — PPR
1. Brock Bowers — Las Vegas Raiders
2. Trey McBride — Arizona Cardinals
3. Colston Loveland — Chicago Bears
4. Tyler Warren — Indianapolis Colts
5. Tucker Kraft — Green Bay Packers
Bowers and McBride currently make up our elite tight end tier, but several younger tight ends are pushing their way up the rankings.
