2026 Fantasy Football Rankings

Free, no account Print this list
Value added to a starting lineup in your league — recomputed for your scoring, size and superflex setting.

Value is what a player adds over a replacement starter at his position; projection is his raw points. Quarterbacks score the most and are the easiest to replace — which is how a QB can project highest and still rank nineteenth.

These rankings are for this season. For long-term value across startups, rookie picks and keepers, see the dynasty rankings. To see what real leagues actually pay for a player, the trade ticker lists recent dynasty trades with our value on both sides.

Field guide

How to read this board

Read the source count first

Under every figure in the Projection column sits a source count. Four independent sources landing near 300 points is a different claim from one source saying it, and the board tells you which you have. The projection is the median season points across the sources that published one, in the scoring you selected.

What the Value column means

The Value column measures something else, the points a best legal starting lineup gains by having this player, computed by assigning the entire player pool to every starting slot in a league your size. Scarcity is already inside it. That is why a quarterback who outscores every receiver can still rank below them in a one-quarterback league, and why flipping to superflex reshuffles the board rather than restyling it. Read the gaps, not the ranks. Two players a couple of points apart sit inside the sources' disagreement.

Adam, who runs MustDraft: “I won my work league division in 2025 after finishing second the year before, and the difference was not luck at the draft. It was updating my board every week instead of drafting off a list from August.”

Read the rest

The rankings board: players ranked by projected value above replacement for a 12-team full-PPR league, with tier bands, value bars and projections
The board for a 12-team full-PPR league — tier bands mark where the value drops.

What the Projection column means

The Projection column is the median season points across the independent sources that published one, in your selected scoring, with the source count underneath. Four sources landing near 300 points means something; one source saying it means very little, and the board tells you which you are looking at. A player's own page lists every source, including where they disagree.

What this board is not

This board prices players for lineups, in redraft. It is not a trade market, not a dynasty board, and not a draft order by itself — for pick-by-pick help in a live draft, use the Draft Board; to see where the forecasters disagree with the room, the draft kit; to test a specific deal, the Trade Analyzer uses these exact values; and for a weekly who-do-I-start call, the Start/Sit Comparator gives a straight answer. Drafting in a room without a laptop? The same tiers print one page per position as the printable cheat sheet. Details in the methodology.
