The 2026 NFL season is here, and with it will come a nearly unquantifiable number of fantasy leagues of various sizes and formats. With the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots set to kick off the regular season on Wednesday, the final fantasy draft window has arrived.

Naturally, one draft guide won't fit all flavors of season-long fantasy formats. However, this handy and mobile-friendly cheat sheet might help. We'll provide our updated point-per-reception (PPR) rankings for each key position and identify a few potential sleepers here.

First, though, let's run through a quick two-round, 12-team mock draft.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, Seattle Seahawks

Christian McCaffrey, RB, San Francisco 49ers

Omarion Hampton, RB, Los Angeles Chargers

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff gets to work with one of the league's most dangerous collections of pass-catchers. Naturally, he's widely viewed as a surefire starter in fantasy, right?

Actually, he's regularly available late in drafts and carries an average draft position (ADP) of only 128. He finished last season as QB8 and could have a similar or even better finish under new offensive coordinator Drew Petzing.

And regardless of how much Petzing can or cannot boost the offense, Goff will still be tossing the ball to Jahmyr Gibbs, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Jameson Williams.

Christian McCaffrey, San Francisco 49ers

TreVeyon Henderson, New England Patriots

Rhamondre Stevenson, New England Patriots

Sleeper: MarShawn Lloyd, Green Bay Packers

The Green Bay Packers will be without starting running back Josh Jacobs for the near future. Last year's RB13 has been placed on the commissioner's exempt list following a May arrest for misdemeanor battery and criminal damage to property.

With Jacobs out, MarShawn Lloyd is expected to lead Green Bay's backfield. He may lose some touches to Chris Brooks and recent trade acquisition Kaleb Johnson, but he should easily outperform his 174 ADP.

Michael Pittman Jr., Pittsburgh Steelers

Sleeper: Denzel Boston, Cleveland Browns

In recent years, the Cleveland Browns and the term "star fantasy receiver" haven't belonged anywhere near one another. Because of a new offense and some serious questions at quarterback, Cleveland probably won't have a star fantasy wideout in 2026 either.

However, rookie second-round pick Denzel Boston could be a sneaky-good sleeper. His 6'4" frame and tremendous possession skill could make him the Browns' go-to target right away.

Whether Deshaun Watson and/or Shedeur Sanders can get Boston the ball with any consistency remains to be seen. He should be enough of a high-volume target, though, to outpace his 177 ADP.

Chigoziem Okonkwo, Washington Commanders

The Houston Texans are expected to have an improved running game following the addition of David Montgomery. However, they still lack depth behind No. 1 receiver Nico Collins, which could funnel a lot of balls back to tight end Dalton Schultz.

With an ADP of 141, Schultz is largely an afterthought on draft day. However, he's coming off an 82-catch season and finished last year as TE10. Schultz is available late and should be a target for any manager looking to stream at tight end.
