Way-Too-Early 2026 Fantasy Football Rankings
Updated: Monday, January 5, 2026With the 2025 NFL regular season now in the rearview mirror, it's exciting to look ahead to not only the playoffs but also to the 2026 fantasy football season.
It's obvious that NFL free agency and the 2026 NFL Draft will alter these fantasy football rankings ... significantly, in many cases.
For now, I've included only one NFL Draft prospect (Notre Dame's Jeremiah Love) in these rankings. Love is destined to be high draft pick in both fantasy and real life.
Before the NFL Draft (but after all early declarations are official), I'll expand these rankings to include other members of the 2026 rookie class.
For now, the rankings below include my top 100 overall players as well as a total of 150 players ranked by position.
Note: These rankings are based on half-PPR scoring.
