Fantasy Football: 7 players Justin Boone thinks could be league winners in 2026
Key Points:
- Jalen Hurts remains a top fantasy QB option despite losing A.J. Brown, benefiting from a new offensive coordinator, improved offensive line health, and the easiest fantasy schedule for quarterbacks in 2026.
- Jonathan Taylor is a strong RB1 candidate for fantasy drafts, with a high ceiling boosted by Daniel Jones' return and a solid offensive line, facing the seventh easiest schedule for running backs.
- Kenneth Walker III joins the Chiefs as a likely workhorse RB, escaping a timeshare and poised for top-five fantasy RB status if he stays healthy.
- DeVonta Smith is primed to emerge as the Eagles' No. 1 receiver, supported by a revamped offense, soft schedule, and absence of competition from injured wideouts.
- Tyler Warren offers exceptional late-round value at tight end, leading the Colts in targets and excelling in yards after catch, with potential to be a top fantasy TE if Daniel Jones stays healthy.
