Texas A&M’s Top Five Fantasy Football Players Set to Shine in 2026‑27

A deep dive into the Aggies' standout talent heading into the next college season

The Aggies capped the 2025 regular season with an 11‑1 record, going 7‑1 inside the Southeastern Conference. That blend of dominance and resilience has turned College Station into a hotbed for fantasy enthusiasts eager to scout the next wave of breakout stars.

The top five fantasy standouts

Leading the list is quarterback Marcel Reed, whose dual-threat skill set makes him a rare commodity in fantasy drafts. Reed threw for 3,169 yards and 12 touchdowns last year while adding 493 rushing yards and six scores on the ground, positioning him as a potential every‑week starter.

At wide receiver, Mario Craver emerged as a reliable target, hauling in 59 catches for 917 yards and four touchdowns. Joining him is Isaiah Horton, a transfer from Alabama who posted 42 receptions for 511 yards and eight touchdowns, giving the Aggies a potent two‑man threat that can stretch any defense.

The backfield will be anchored by Rueben Owens II and freshman phenom KJ Edwards. Owens II logged 119 carries for 639 yards and five touchdowns, while Edwards, still a high‑school senior, rushed for 2,085 yards and 31 scores, hinting at a ground game that could dominate time of possession.

Coaching staff under Mike Elko adds a strategic edge, fine‑tuning play calls that maximize each player's strengths. As the team prepares for the upcoming season, analysts predict that the Aggies' balanced attack could translate into a deep playoff run and a surge in fantasy points for their key contributors.
