Fantasy Football Rankings 2026: Key Busts and Risky Picks Identified
The 2026 NFL regular season is set to begin shortly, with many Fantasy football drafts still pending as managers seek the latest insights. Identifying Fantasy football busts is crucial for success, as players like Jayden Daniels, Brian Thomas, Mike Evans, and Mark Andrews struggled last season due to injuries or poor performance.
SportsLine's computer model, which has accurately predicted player performances in previous seasons, has simulated the upcoming NFL season 10,000 times. Among the players flagged as potential busts is Houston Texans running back David Montgomery, who is expected to share snaps with Woody Marks in a less dynamic offense. Additionally, Bills running back James Cook, currently being drafted around the ninth overall pick, is ranked lower by the model due to concerns about his fumble rate and competition for touchdowns from quarterback Josh Allen.
SportsLine also highlights a receiver expected to be a significant bust this season, ranking him just outside the top 10. For a comprehensive list of Fantasy football rankings and cheat sheets, managers are encouraged to visit SportsLine.
