Fantasy football draft rankings see major shifts for 2026

Fantasy football draft preparations for the 2026 season are being impacted by significant shifts in player Average Draft Position (ADP). Josh Jacobs has seen a major decline in value after being placed on the NFL commissioner’s exempt list. This move prevents him from practicing or playing while the league reviews his case, making his availability for Week 1 uncertain and causing his ADP to drop significantly.

Other players identified as potential draft risks include James Cook of the Buffalo Bills and Marvin Harrison Jr. of the Arizona Cardinals. Analysts suggest Cook may face regression in touchdown efficiency following a high-scoring 2025 season, while Harrison Jr. faces concerns regarding target consistency and distribution within the Cardinals' offense.
