2026 NFL Fantasy Football Rankings
Our 2026 fantasy football rankings are generated by a LightGBM quantile-regression model trained on 16 seasons (2010โ2025) of play-by-play, snap-counts, target-share, depth-chart, injury report, and IR designation data. Players are sorted by Value-Based Drafting (VBD) โ the projected points each player produces above a replacement-level starter at their position โ which is what actually wins drafts, not raw projected points. We refresh ADP daily and re-run the projections weekly through the season. Last update: June 11, 2026.
Every player has a SHAP explainer (click into the cheatsheet view for the full breakdown). For a hands-on test of how the model recommends picks live during a draft, try the free Mock Draft simulator.
