SportsLine’s 2026 Fantasy football rankings have been generated after an exhaustive simulation of 10,000 NFL seasons, a process that strips away guesswork and surfaces the players most likely to outperform their draft positions.
Among the standout sleepers is De'Von Achane, whose 2025 campaign delivered 1,838 scrimmage yards and 12 touchdowns, propelling him to a sixth‑overall finish in Fantasy points among running backs.
Another name catching the model’s eye is Isaiah Likely, the tight end slated to be the Giants’ primary option at the position; with an average draft position of 97, he is projected to finish as the ninth‑best tight end thanks to his big‑play ability.
Tony Pollard, the Titans running back nursing a minor foot injury, is expected to exceed his RB27 average draft position, building on a late‑season surge that saw him finish strong in 2025.
Why These Picks Could Change the Draft Landscape
The model also points to a veteran wide receiver who could break into the top ten of Fantasy production, a prediction that aligns with SportsLine’s history of nailing sleepers such as Christian McCaffrey and Derrick Henry.
For fantasy enthusiasts, targeting these underrated assets could provide a decisive edge, especially as the simulation’s track record of accurate forecasts continues to prove its reliability.
