The Story
Rankings
It's Week 0 and everyone is 0-0, but Sam's squad — built around the Chase-Lamb-Jefferson holy trinity — enters 2026 as the team to beat. Three elite WRs and a QB situation that MUST get resolved is the storyline of the offseason, but the core here is as loaded as any roster in this league.
Tyler arrives at 0-0 with Gibbs and an ascending Egbuka-Odunze WR room that could genuinely take a leap in the Ben Johnson offense. The big offseason question is QB — with Baker gone, someone needs to step up — but the skill position talent here is legitimately top-tier.
Doug W. opens the season at 0-0 sitting on four 2027 first-round picks and a WR room headlined by Nabers, JSN, Adams, Tet, and MHJ — that's genuinely absurd depth. The QB room remains the elephant in the room, but with that kind of receiver corps, even average QB play keeps this team dangerous.
Josh enters 2026 at 0-0 with arguably the best young RB room in the league in Harvey-Henderson, a Puka-London WR tandem that is just now hitting its prime, and McBride locked in at TE for the next decade. A QB2 addition via the first round would make this team a legitimate championship contender right now.
The rebranded squad (formerly Q-A Johnston) kicks off 2026 at 0-0 with the 1.01 pick already spent on the obvious Jeremiyah Love, instantly upgrading the RB room alongside Jeanty and Corum. Drake Maye and Herbert at QB is as good a QB1/QB2 duo as exists in this league — Todd's ghost is gone, and this team is built to win now AND later.
Brett starts 0-0 and with his full complement of picks from last year's trade deadline activity, he enters 2026 loaded with draft capital and a young core of Ladd, Tez, McLaurin, and Washington at WR. With Jeanty in the backfield and multiple 2027 firsts still in the war chest, this team's dynasty ceiling is as high as anyone's.
Erik opens at 0-0 with one of the cleanest QB rooms in the league — Josh Allen, Bryce Young, and CJ Stroud is a murderer's row — and LaPorta locked in at TE for the foreseeable future. The WR room is the weak link, but with all his picks intact heading into the 2026 rookie draft, Erik has the capital to fix it fast.
Tim enters 2026 at 0-0 with two 2026 first-round picks and a young, beat-up core — Pearsall, BTJ, Burden, Bijan, and Hampton — that should be healthier and hungrier after a rough injury-plagued season. Jordan Love is a legit QB1, and if Tim hits on even one of those first-rounders, this team rebounds in a big way.
Lucas heads into 2026 at 0-0 with a Burrow-Dak QB tandem that is genuinely elite, and Davante Rice emerging as a true WR1 alongside Tee Higgins as a WR2. The path to a top-4 finish is there if he can add RB and WR depth, but the foundation is solid enough that Miller Time could sneak up on some people this season.
Piper starts 0-0 with Jayden Daniels as the unquestioned franchise cornerstone — one of the most valuable dynasty assets in this entire league — and the Judkins pick already paying dividends. The roster still needs WR help and RB depth around Daniels, but with the right offseason moves, Hawaii Bros could look very different by the time week 1 rolls around.
Aaron opens 2026 at 0-0 in a tough spot: Lamar, AJ Brown, and Saquon all carry age/usage concerns going into this season, and the lack of a 2026 first-round pick limits his ability to retool quickly. Pickens and Javonte are the bright spots, but this window is closing faster than Aaron would like and the margin for error is slim.
Andy enters 2026 at 0-0 with Devon Achane as the crown jewel and two first-round picks to work with, but his supporting cast is aging fast with Sutton, Deebo, and Stafford all on the back nine. He needs those picks to hit on a QB of the future AND a skill position player — that's a lot to ask of one draft, even for Andy.
AJ opens the year at 0-0 riding the Mahomes-Purdy QB tandem, which is frankly insane, but the supporting cast of Olave, Wilson, Evans, and Kamara is aging by the minute. Cam Skattebo and Monangai offer some youth, but without a clear plan to reload via the draft, the House of Cards may be one bad week from tumbling down.
Eddie kicks off 2026 at 0-0 and is riding the Hurts-CMC-Jacobs trifecta for as long as those legs hold up — which, realistically, is 1-2 more seasons tops. Jameson Williams is a boom-or-bust WR1 at best, and the WR room desperately needs a full offseason investment; without that, Eddie is simply hoping the stars stay healthy enough to sneak into the playoffs.
