Every positional finishes take
51–75 of 1,227
- PendingJosh ShepardsonPositional Finishes
Tyler Shough to finish top 10 at his position, by fantasy points
In a possible shootout at Ford Field, Goff and Shough will finish as top-10 fantasy quarterbacks in Week 1.

Jared Goff to finish top 10 at his position, by fantasy points
In a possible shootout at Ford Field, Goff and Shough will finish as top-10 fantasy quarterbacks in Week 1.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 11, 2026 Tre Tucker to finish top 30 at his position, by fantasy points
Tre Tucker is a borderline top-30 wide receiver in Week 1
Omarion Hampton to finish top 1 at his position, by rushing yards
Omarion Hampton wins NFL rushing title ... McDaniel will have the Chargers' bell cow back winning the NFL rushing title at the end of 2026.
Tyler Shough to finish top 12 at his position, by fantasy points
Shough could post QB1 numbers in Week 1.
Tre Tucker to finish top 30 at his position, by fantasy points
While many drafted him as a late-round upside pick, Tre Tucker is a borderline top-30 wide receiver in Week 1 because Brock Bowers is out with a knee injury.
Baker Mayfield to finish top 5 at his position, by fantasy points
Don’t be shocked if Mayfield starts off the season with a top-five finish.
Jalen Coker to finish top 20 at his position, by fantasy points
Coker has top-20 upside this week.
Tre Tucker to finish top 30 at his position, by fantasy points
Tre Tucker is a borderline top-30 wide receiver in Week 1 because Brock Bowers is out with a knee injury.
Josh Allen to finish top 12 at his position, by fantasy points
While he is still a top-12 quarterback in my Week 1 rankings, the superstar likely faces his worst matchup of the year on Sunday.

Jadarian Price to finish top ? at his position, by rushing yards
But McCloughan believes Price will be a more productive back than Love in their NFL careers.
Jadarian PriceSeattle Seahawks
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 10, 2026 Patrick Mahomes to finish top ? at his position, by fantasy points
Paired with this matchup, all of that makes Mahomes more of a floor-based QB2 in Week 1.
Kenneth Walker III to finish top ? at his position, by fantasy points
This move pushes Walker into the RB1 field, though Josh Simmons missing Week 1 and the Denver matchup limit the odds of a ceiling outcome to open the year.
Bo Nix to finish top ? at his position, by fantasy points
Nix is on the QB1/QB2 line for me in Week 1.
J.K. Dobbins to finish top ? at his position, by fantasy points
That leaves him as a touchdown-dependent FLEX.
Courtland Sutton to finish top ? at his position, by fantasy points
The addition of Waddle makes Sutton more of a boom-or-bust WR3/FLEX.
RJ Harvey to finish top ? at his position, by fantasy points
At least to open the season, I am handling Harvey as more of an RB3/FLEX who has greater appeal in full-PPR formats than touchdown-driven leagues.
Xavier Worthy to finish top ? at his position, by fantasy points
we still are not targeting the Denver pass defense for spike weeks, leaving Worthy as a WR4/FLEX in Week 1.
Travis Kelce to finish top ? at his position, by fantasy points
Kelce's top-down usage and the lack of competition at this position keep him in play as a TE1.
Rashee Rice to finish top ? at his position, by fantasy points
The target potential can still be here, but I am treating Rice as more of a floor-based WR2/WR3 in the opener.
Jaylen Waddle to finish top ? at his position, by fantasy points
Waddle is an upside WR2 who has added upside with all of the moving parts in the secondary for Kansas City.
Cam Skattebo to finish top 24 at his position, by fantasy points
With some of that potential priced in, Skattebo is still an RB2 option for gamers with added upside if Dallas still has issues on defense early in the season.
George Pickens to finish top 24 at his position, by fantasy points
Pickens is still adjacent to how we handle Tee Higgins, which makes him a high-upside WR2 who can run into spike weeks.
Malachi Fields to finish top 48 at his position, by fantasy points
That makes Fields more of a boom-or-bust WR4/FLEX in Week 1, and someone I would look at as more of a single-game DFS option.
CeeDee Lamb to finish top 12 at his position, by fantasy points
I am still treating Lamb as a fantasy WR1, especially in this spot.
