"It's impressive he continues to finish as high as he does each year without the weapons in the passing attack most other top quarterbacks enjoy," White said. "That's been boosted by his strong rushing production, which includes 41 touchdowns on the ground over the last three years. There's no reason to think that'll change for 2026, which gives him as high a floor as anyone to pair with his No. 1 overall ceiling."

Tier 4 also has a dozen QBs, topped by Kyler Murray. Meanwhile, Daniel Jones also finds his name in tier 4 but is the QB27 per White.

3. Jonathan Taylor, Indianapolis Colts: Taylor's 90.5 rushing yards per game are the highest amongst any active player, and he's also coming off his second season in which he led the NFL in touchdowns (20). He's shown the ability to produce with or without competent quarterback play, and an added incentive for Taylor in 2026 is that he's in a contract year. See more top RBs here.

1. Puka Nacua, Los Angeles Rams: Nacua has improved his receiving yards per game each season of his three-year career, leading the NFL with 107.2 yards in 2025. His career average of 95.3 receiving yards per game is the highest in NFL history. Outside of the game in which he got injured in last year, Nacua had zero Fantasy duds all season long as he had at least 72 yards or a touchdown in each of the other 15 games he played in.

2. Ja'Marr Chase, Cincinnati Bengals: Through the first five seasons of an NFL career, Chase's 520 catches and 6,837 yards both rank second, while his 54 touchdowns rank fourth. His production isn't tied to Joe Burrow being healthy and under center which should bring any Fantasy manager confidence in utilizing an early pick on the wideout.

1. Trey McBride, Arizona Cardinals: The TE1 last season, McBride actually got off to a slow start when Kyler Murray was Arizona's quarterback. But he went off with Jacoby Brissett throwing him passes which has McBride maintaining his status atop the positional rankings. The tight end averaged 8.1 catches for 80.3 yards with 10 total touchdowns in 12 games with Brissett as starter, compared to 5.8 catches for 55 yards and just 1 touchdown in five games with Murray.

2. Colston Loveland, Chicago Bears: When Cole Kmet missed a Week 8 game due to injury, Loveland filled in as the team's top tight end and never relinquished that role. The rookie ranked second in positional Fantasy points from Week 8 through Week 18 and then had a 137-yard playoff game. If you extrapolate Loveland's numbers over his last 13 games, including the postseason, over a 17-game schedule, he'd post a stat line of 81-1,083-8.

3. Brock Bowers, Las Vegas Raiders: Bowers' numbers took a step back as a sophomore with him both playing through injury and missing five games due to injury. Even with that his Fantasy points per game ranking actually increased, as he finished second in FPPG in 2025 after placing third among TEs in 2024. He remains the focal point of a Raiders offense which doesn't have a single wideout who reached 700 yards last year. See more top TEs here.
