After that, it’s a McCaffrey-vs-St. Brown decision ... followed by Ashton Jeanty, James Cook, Justin Jefferson, CeeDee Lamb, and Jonathan Taylor rounding out the round.

Colston Loveland (CHI) — RK3 ... Tyler Warren (IND) — RK4 ... Gunnar Helm (TEN) — RK24 ... Terrance Ferguson (LAR) — RK28
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 5, 2026 Warren might not be one of the elite fantasy TEs in 2026, but he should still be one of the first five tight ends off the board in this year’s drafts.
Otherwise, make your choice between Chase and Nakua. They're very close, but I prefer Chase.
ROUND 1: I consider there to be two elite players I would choose in this range: Jahmyr Gibbs and Bijan Robinson in that order. This applies to both standard and PPR leagues. I prefer Gibbs because he's on the better team and has the easier schedule.
Kittle is working back from a torn Achilles, making McBride and Bowers the clear top two for now.
Jonathan Taylor ranks third ... Jahmyr Gibbs takes the top spot: The Detroit Lions running back ranks ahead of Bijan Robinson and Christian McCaffrey
Ultimately, some of these changes could prove to be steps forward rather than back, and the other elite running backs in this range carry even more uncertainty heading into 2026. This makes Gibbs the top option in redraft leagues regardless of format.
