Experts Identify Top Fantasy Football Busts for 2026

Fantasy football analysts have shared their predictions for players likely to underperform in the 2026 season. Among the top candidates is Christian McCaffrey, who faces concerns due to his age and injury history, despite his talent. Analysts suggest that his high draft cost may not be justified given his declining rushing efficiency and workload management.

Puka Nacua is another player flagged for potential disappointment, primarily due to his current injury and the uncertainty surrounding his role in the Rams' offense. De'Von Achane is also seen as a risk, as his production may not be sustainable with a new quarterback and changes in the offensive structure.

Other notable mentions include Ashton Jeanty, who is dealing with an ankle injury, and Drake London, whose performance may be affected by a less stable quarterback situation. Analysts also express caution regarding players like Brock Bowers and Jeremiyah Love, citing concerns over their draft costs relative to their expected performance and team dynamics.
