2026 Fantasy Football Draft Strategies and Insights
Pat Fitzmaurice provides insights for fantasy football drafts in 2026, detailing strategies for each key position. He suggests that in 1QB leagues, it is advisable to opt for lower-tier quarterbacks like Trevor Lawrence, Dak Prescott, or Brock Purdy, while focusing on strengthening other positions early in the draft.
Fitzmaurice recommends various approaches for running backs depending on the league's requirements for wide receivers. In leagues with two starting wide receivers, he favors a Robust RB strategy, whereas in leagues requiring three, he may adopt a Hero RB or even a Zero RB approach to prioritize pass catchers.
When it comes to tight ends, Fitzmaurice expresses flexibility, indicating a willingness to invest in top talents like Brock Bowers or Colston Loveland, while also considering midrange options like Tucker Kraft and Kyle Pitts. His strategy will adapt based on draft position and the demand for tight ends during the draft.
