| 1 | Ja'Marr Chase
Draft Note
Chase was the overall WR1 in 2024 at nearly 20 points per game. In 2025, with Burrow missing significant time, he finished WR5 overall and WR4 per game, which is still elite. The underlying metrics remain at the top of the position: 98th-percentile route grade, 91st-percentile YPRR, and a 94th-percentile ESPN YAC score that reflects his elite run-after-catch ability, which shows up in his 84th-percentile PFF YAC per reception as well. He's going as the WR1 overall, and the entire bet is Joe Burrow's health–Chase with a functional Burrow is the best receiver in fantasy football.
| CIN | 6 | WR-1 | 263.9 | 124 | 3 | 2 | 0 | -1 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 0 | -1 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 3 | 9 | 8 |
| 2 | Jahmyr Gibbs
Draft Note
Gibbs has finished as the RB3 and RB4 in back-to-back seasons, putting together one of the most consistent two-year runs at the position. His production is built around pre-contact efficiency–his YBC/Att ranks at the 95th percentile, stemming from Detroit's zone-running scheme and his ability to hit gaps quickly. He's less effective once contact arrives (20th-percentile YAC/Att), so the offense needs to keep creating clean looks for him, and it likely will. His receiving ability is elite–his route grade (97th percentile) and target share (96th percentile) rank among the best at the position, and his 1.67 YPRR underscores how efficiently he converts catches into yardage. The opportunity picture looks improved entering 2026. Detroit has 161 vacated RB carries–5th-most in the NFL–including 16 vacated carries inside the five. With David Montgomery out and Isiah Pacheco stepping in as the handcuff, Gibbs could absorb more of that red-zone and overall touch volume.
| DET | 6 | RB-1 | 276.9 | 107 | 1 | -1 | 0 | -2 | 1 | -1 | 1 | -1 | 1 | -1 | 1 | -1 | 1 | -1 | 1 | -1 | 0 | -2 | 1 | -1 | 1 | -1 | 1 | -1 | 1 | -1 | 1 | -1 | 2 | 0 | 7 | 5 |
| 3 | Josh Allen
Draft Note
Allen is the safest pick at the quarterback position, and it's not particularly close. He's finished QB1 and QB2 the last two seasons while playing all 34 games, and his consistency is remarkable—he's scored 20-plus fantasy points in 59% of games over that stretch with only four games below 10. His 2025 efficiency was elite: 93rd percentile in EPA per dropback and 87th percentile in CPOE, and the rushing remains the league's best fantasy cheat code at the position. Allen averaged 37.4 rushing yards per start with 14 rushing touchdowns last season. That's a RB2 season's worth of rushing touchdowns on top of 25 passing touchdowns, and it’s his third consecutive season with at least 12 rushing touchdowns. The Bills added D.J. Moore to a receiving corps that already includes Khalil Shakir and Dalton Kincaid, giving Allen arguably his deepest set of pass-catchers since Stefon Diggs was in Buffalo. He's going as the QB1 off the board with an overall ADP around pick 30, and that's the right price. The only question is whether you want to spend that draft capital on a quarterback when you could wait and get a value QB significantly later. But if you want the highest floor and the highest ceiling at the position, Allen is the pick. If the draft gets weird and the available options in the third round aren’t too appealing, then Allen is an extremely safe pick.
| BUF | 7 | QB-1 | 342.5 | 108 | 28 | 25 | 0 | -3 | 18 | 15 | 31 | 28 | 19 | 16 | 31 | 28 | 32 | 29 | 29 | 26 | 0 | -3 | 23 | 20 | 37 | 34 | 28 | 25 | 3 | 0 | 2 | -1 | 3 | 0 | 1 | -2 |
| 4 | Bijan Robinson
Draft Note
Robinson has quietly been one of the more consistent backs in the league, finishing RB4 and RB3 in back-to-back seasons. What sets him apart is the receiving profile–he led all running backs in YPRR (99th percentile) and ranked 2nd in targets (97th percentile), posting 79 catches for 820 yards and four scores. As a rusher he's well-rounded–97th-percentile elusive rating, 85th-percentile YBC/Att–without a glaring weak spot. Atlanta enters 2026 with 143 vacated RB carries, 6th-most in the NFL–via Tyler Allgeier’s departure, though Brian Robinson will replace him–so there's a chance Bijan’s touch volume grows. A high-floor, high-ceiling RB1.
| ATL | 11 | RB-2 | 270.2 | 100 | 2 | -2 | 0 | -4 | 2 | -2 | 2 | -2 | 2 | -2 | 2 | -2 | 2 | -2 | 2 | -2 | 0 | -4 | 2 | -2 | 2 | -2 | 2 | -2 | 2 | -2 | 3 | -1 | 1 | -3 | 8 | 4 |
| 5 | Jaxon Smith-Njigba
Draft Note
Every meaningful receiver metric points in the same direction with JSN. He led all wide receivers in ESPN OPEN score (100th percentile) and ranked 98th in OVERALL, and his PFF route grade (99th percentile) and YPRR (3.62, 99th percentile) were both at the top of the sample. The production matched: 119 receptions, 1,793 yards, and 10 touchdowns in 2025–a WR2 overall finish at 18.1 points per game. He also added an 82nd-percentile contested catch rate, which tells you he's not just a soft-route slot receiver who needs clean looks to function. Sam Darnold is a minor concern at quarterback–93rd percentile CPOE sounds great until you see the 14 interceptions–but Darnold got the job done last year and JSN is the rare receiver whose separation ability is good enough to overcome questionable quarterback play. He's going as the WR3 overall, and the metrics justify it.
| SEA | 11 | WR-2 | 255.1 | 115 | 5 | 0 | 0 | -5 | 6 | 1 | 5 | 0 | 5 | 0 | 6 | 1 | 5 | 0 | 5 | 0 | 0 | -5 | 7 | 2 | 5 | 0 | 8 | 3 | 7 | 2 | 9 | 4 | 6 | 1 | 13 | 8 |
| 6 | Puka Nacua
Draft Note
Nacua led all receivers in ESPN OVERALL score (100th percentile) and was 99th in OPEN, and his PFF route grade (100th percentile) and YPRR (3.71, 100th percentile) were both the best in the entire sample. He backed it up: 129 receptions, 1,715 yards, 10 touchdowns, and a WR1 overall finish at 19.3 points per game in 2025. He also had a 91st-percentile contested catch rate and 86th-percentile YAC per reception, making him effective at every phase of the route. Two flags on his profile is the durability history–he played 11 games in 2024 before returning for a full 2025–and Matthew Stafford's age. Both are real risks, but Stafford was elite last season (91st-percentile EPA) and Nacua's separation ability means he doesn't require elite quarterback play to produce. The other outstanding issue is a potential suspension, though it sounds as it it may be a short one if it comes at all, per Adam Schefter. He's going as the overall WR2, and the metrics make it very difficult to argue with, despite the red flags.
| LAR | 11 | WR-3 | 245.7 | 106 | 4 | -2 | 0 | -6 | 5 | -1 | 4 | -2 | 4 | -2 | 4 | -2 | 4 | -2 | 4 | -2 | 0 | -6 | 4 | -2 | 4 | -2 | 4 | -2 | 5 | -1 | 6 | 0 | 5 | -1 | 11 | 5 |
| 7 | Jonathan Taylor
Draft Note
Taylor finished as the RB2 in half-PPR formats in 2025, trailing only Christian McCaffrey. After an injury-shortened 2024 that dropped him to RB14 in 13 games, he returned with a full workload and validated his standing as a top-tier bell cow. The efficiency leans heavily on what he does after contact–his YAC/Att ranked at the 88th percentile among qualified backs. His 82nd-percentile PFF run grade confirms he's operating at an above-average level as a runner even when the blocking isn't generating much pre-contact space (57th-percentile YBC/Att). The receiving role is solid but not spectacular–54 targets, 46 catches, 378 yards–enough to support his half-PPR ceiling without driving it. A locked-in workhorse with elite after-contact traits. Draft him as a high-floor RB1.
| IND | 13 | RB-3 | 269.6 | 100 | 7 | 0 | 0 | -7 | 4 | -3 | 8 | 1 | 7 | 0 | 7 | 0 | 9 | 2 | 8 | 1 | 0 | -7 | 6 | -1 | 8 | 1 | 6 | -1 | 10 | 3 | 12 | 5 | 9 | 2 | 18 | 11 |
| 8 | Christian McCaffrey
Draft Note
McCaffrey finished as the RB1 in half-PPR formats in 2025, but the caveat is significant–he appeared in just four games in 2024. When healthy, his production is driven almost entirely by the passing game. He led all running backs in targets (121) and route grade (99th percentile among qualified RBs), while ranking 3rd in YPRR (96th percentile)–a profile that sets him apart from traditional workhorses. The rushing efficiency tells a different story: his run grade (14th percentile) and YAC/Att (9th percentile) are well below average, suggesting he's no longer the same threat between the tackles. However, given his receiving, the upside is the weekly RB1 ceiling when healthy.
| SF | 8 | RB-4 | 260.6 | 91 | 6 | -2 | 0 | -8 | 7 | -1 | 7 | -1 | 6 | -2 | 5 | -3 | 6 | -2 | 7 | -1 | 0 | -8 | 5 | -3 | 6 | -2 | 5 | -3 | 9 | 1 | 8 | 0 | 8 | 0 | 17 | 9 |
| 9 | Lamar Jackson
Draft Note
In 2024, Jackson was historically dominant—the overall QB1 at 25.5 points per game with 13 of 16 games over 20 points and zero games below 10. Then 2025 happened. Jackson missed five games, finished QB20 overall, and cratered in the second half of the season, averaging just 12.0 points per game after the midway point compared to 23.8 before it. The rushing, typically his fantasy floor, fell to 26.9 yards per game with just two rushing touchdowns—a fraction of his usual production. His efficiency slipped to the 60th percentile in EPA per dropback, still respectable but a far cry from the MVP-caliber play of the prior season. The offseason brings change. Isaiah Likely is gone, and while Mark Andrews is back, the Ravens are banking on rookie tight ends Ja'Kobi Lane and Elijah Sarratt to fill the void alongside him. New offensive coordinator Declan Doyle takes over play-calling duties. Zay Flowers remains a legitimate number-one receiver, but the overall supporting cast feels thinner than it was a year ago and he has missed 18% of his games in the last five seasons. Jackson is going as the QB2 with an overall ADP in the middle of the fifth round. The talent is undeniable—when healthy, Jackson has as high a ceiling as anyone in fantasy. But the second-half collapse, the reduced rushing, and a transitional roster make QB2 a price that carries more risk than it has in years.
| BAL | 13 | QB-2 | 318.7 | 85 | 46 | 37 | 0 | -9 | 40 | 31 | 56 | 47 | 34 | 25 | 46 | 37 | 61 | 52 | 63 | 54 | 0 | -9 | 36 | 27 | 57 | 48 | 50 | 41 | 8 | -1 | 5 | -4 | 10 | 1 | 2 | -7 |
| 10 | Drake Maye
Draft Note
Maye's second-year leap was one of the best stories of the 2025 season. After taking over as a rookie in Week 6 of 2024 and posting QB15 numbers the rest of the way, he exploded into the overall QB2 last season at 21.0 points per game—and he did it with arguably the weakest supporting cast of any top-10 quarterback. His efficiency was excellent: 100th percentile in both EPA per dropback and CPOE among qualified passers, meaning he was literally the most efficient and most accurate passer in football. He threw for 4,394 yards and 31 touchdowns while completing 72 percent of his passes, and he added 26.5 rushing yards per game with four rushing touchdowns on the ground. Perhaps most impressive was the consistency—Maye scored 20-plus points in nine of 16 games and never once dipped below 12.0.
The Patriots have started to build around him. Romeo Doubs was added as a steady possession receiver, Hunter Henry returns, and with A.J. Brown now in the fold, the Patriots’ offensive is dangerous. Even without Brown, Maye proved last year that he can produce elite fantasy numbers with limited weapons, which means any upgrade to the skill positions is pure upside.
