5 NFL Players Defining 2026 Fantasy Football

Analyst Joel Smyth highlights five players who will define the fantasy football offseason and shape the 2026 season, including rookie running back Jeremiyah Love and quarterback Malik Willis.

Analyst Joel Smyth highlights rookie running back Jeremiyah Love as a key figure for the upcoming season. Despite a history of rookie RB struggles, Love is expected to be a top-12 pick, with projected landing spots in New Orleans or Kansas City offering favorable fantasy opportunities.

Additionally, Malik Willis is identified as a potential game-changer. The Packers' fill-in quarterback led the NFL in designed rush rate and could become a valuable fantasy asset if he secures a starting role.
