2026 Fantasy Drafts: Jahmyr Gibbs Leads Picks with 38 Touchdowns in Two Seasons

Jahmyr Gibbs enters 2026 fantasy drafts with 38 touchdowns over the last two years, while Caleb Williams looks to improve on his 92.2 ADP.

Jahmyr Gibbs enters the 2026 NFL season as a premier fantasy option with an average draft position (ADP) of 1.4, having recorded 38 touchdowns over the past two seasons for the Detroit Lions. He is followed closely by Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson, who holds an ADP of 2.5. In the early rounds of 2026 fantasy drafts, which cover Rounds 1 through 4 in 10-team leagues, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase carries an ADP of 4.0, while Puka Nacua of the Rams sits at 5.2. Justin Jefferson of the Vikings is positioned at 12.1, and Bengals running back Chase Brown, the team's lead back, holds an ADP of 21.9.

Quarterback Value and Middle-Round Targets

Adam Schefter identifies significant depth at quarterback, recommending targets in the middle rounds (Rounds 5-11) rather than early selections. Bo Nix leads this group with an ADP of 86.3 for the Broncos, followed by Caleb Williams of the Bears at 92.2. Williams is entering his second year under offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. Justin Herbert, now paired with offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel in Los Angeles, has an ADP of 106.0. In the later rounds (Round 12 or higher), Tyler Shough of the Saints is valued at 155.4, Jordan Love of the Packers at 158.0, and Daniel Jones of the Colts at 158.2. Jones was a top fantasy performer last season prior to his injury.

Beyond the top-tier backs, Kenneth Walker III of the Chiefs has an ADP of 22.3, aiming to surpass his previous career-best finish of RB18. Omarion Hampton of the Chargers follows at 25.3. In the middle rounds, Bhayshul Tuten of the Jaguars holds an ADP of 71.8, while Rhamondre Stevenson of the Patriots is at 83.1. Late-round options include Kenny Gainwell of the Buccaneers at 116.5 and Blake Corum of the Rams at 135.1, who is expected to share touches with Kyren Williams. Jordan Mason of the Vikings sits at 138.9, while Jaguars running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. has an ADP of 165.6, reuniting with offensive coordinator Liam Coen. Jonah Coleman of the Broncos is valued at 169.4, and MarShawn Lloyd of the Packers, who remained healthy through summer camp, is at 170.1.

Wide Receiver and Tight End Outlook

Chris Olave of the Saints leads the remaining early-round receivers with an ADP of 31.1. In the middle rounds, DeVonta Smith of the Eagles is at 40.4, expected to see increased targets in the absence of A.J. Brown. Ladd McConkey of the Chargers holds an ADP of 50.1, while Luther Burden III of the Bears is at 76.2. Parker Washington of the Jaguars rounds out the middle tier at 93.3. Late-round receiver values include Wan’Dale Robinson of the Titans at 113.4, Jordan Addison of the Vikings at 114.1, and Josh Downs of the Colts at 136.6. KC Concepcion of the Browns is at 144.1, Ja’Kobi Lane of the Ravens at 167.7, and Caleb Douglas of the Dolphins at 169.4.

At tight end, Brock Bowers of the Raiders is the top early-round target with an ADP of 24.3 under Klint Kubiak. Colston Loveland of the Bears, who saw target counts of 10, 13, 10, and 15 in his final four games last year, has an ADP of 45.0. Harold Fannin Jr. of the Browns is at 75.0 following the departure of David Njoku, and Tucker Kraft of the Packers is at 88.8. Late-round tight ends include Isaiah Likely of the Giants at 127.4, Terrance Ferguson of the Rams at 165.6, AJ Barner of the Seahawks at 169.5, and Gunnar Helm of the Titans at 170.6.
