0:00Not only are we going to be looking at how these offenses project to score in 2026, but I also want to look back at
0:06what they did in 2025 so we can identify the offenses that are about to take a massive step forward and the offenses
0:12that did get worse year-over-year.
0:14Starting off with the only S tier offense that we have in the NFL this season. It is going to be the Los
0:20Angeles Rams. Right now, sports books have the Rams projected out to score 26.6 points per game. You reference this to what the Rams did last year. The Rams
0:30were at 30 and a half points per game last season. So obviously it's tough to ever assume that an offense is going to
0:35be that good. But nonetheless, they were the best offense in the league last year. They project to be the best offense in the league this year by a
0:42decent little margin. I can't tell you like, oh yeah, this means you should go through and you should target Rams aggressively in your drafts because
0:50obviously everybody already knows this with the Rams. It's not a secret.
0:54Pukanukua is currently sitting with an average pick of 3.8 in fantasy drafts across Sleeper, ESPN, Yahoo, Underdog,
1:03CBS, and FFPC ADP. We go and look at Dvonte Adams. Dvonte Adams currently going as the wide receiver 24. He's a
1:10fourth round pick in ESPN. He's a fifth round pick in CBS, but nonetheless, he's going to go at the end of the fourth,
1:16beginning of the fifth of your fantasy draft. Kairen Williams is pencled in as a third round selection. So, this offense is incredible. It has a player
1:25getting selected in round one and round three and round four of fantasy draft.
1:29So, people already know it, but yeah, I mean, wheels up for the Rams as always.
1:34Now, going down to our next year, this is where things begin to get a little close. So, the Rams project to score
1:4026.6 points per game. Every offense we're about to talk about is anywhere from 26.1 to 25.7.
1:48Starting off with the Buffalo Bills.
1:50Obviously, the Bills have been an elite offense for years now. Maybe you could be concerned with the change with the coaching staff, but it's the same guy
1:58that was the offensive coordinator taking over as the head coach. So, the offense should be about the same. They invest into the wide receiver room
2:06finally by going out there and trading for DJ Moore. And honestly, this is the reason why I am a-okay drafting Josh
2:13Allen way ahead of any other quarterback in fantasy football. Like currently he is a third round pick in most reddraft leagues. I know some people watching
2:22this their league mates are dumb enough to take a quarterback in round one, but nonetheless I mean it's well warranted for Allen to beat the QB1 in fantasy.
2:30He's been a top three quarterback in fantasy points per game. Every single season since 2020 at six straight years and also every single year since 2019,
2:40he's played at least 16 games in the season. So Josh Allen the safest pick with the most upside at quarterback.
2:48Also with this Bills projection, it does tell me that you can go ahead and draft James Cook, of course, if you want there
2:54in round one. Going over to the Detroit Lions being an elite offense. This is really the only thing that can be a
3:01tiebreaker for me when it comes to Gibbs versus Bejon Robinson. We'll talk about the Atlanta Falcons projection later on, but the Lions supposed to be one of the
3:10best offenses in the league means that Gibbs is the 101 for me. It also means that Aman Rossi Brown is one of the
3:15safest picks and then also Jameson Williams to the four or five turn.
3:19Hopefully you can actually get him in the late fit depending on your league is just a fine selection. Cincinnati Bengals here at four. I don't want to
3:25spend a lot of time here either because Jamar Chase is a round one pick. Chase Brown's a round two pick and Tagan's
3:31going to go in either rounds three or four. So the Bengals already priced for perfection. They're going to be a good
3:36offense. You can draft them with aggression. The Baltimore Ravens project to be the fifth best offense. This is where things maybe get a little
3:42interesting because there is a pretty wide gap of where Lamar Jackson is being drafted versus Josh Allen. Now, in sleeper drafts, Lamar Jackson does have
3:51an ADP a pick, 37. But on almost any other platform, Lamar Jackson is a fifthround pick. Like in the flockfantasy.com average expert
4:01rankings, he's at 55. ESPN, he's at 56.
4:05Yahoo, he goes to the beginning of the fifth round. Underdog drafts, he goes in the fifth. And if you compare this to
4:10Josh Allen, it is a nice little dip that you are getting in cost. And if we go through and look at the Lamar Jackson
4:17profile, of course, Lamar was garbage.
4:20And I mean, straight garbage this past season where he was the QB 16 in points per game. He didn't look good from a
4:27real life perspective either. But based on the sportsbook projections that we have for this next season, I think we can probably safely say that the Lamar
4:37Jackson struggles were just due to his injury and the expectations are the Ravens get back to normal. I know the change with the coaching staff may have
4:45some people concerned, but Lamar averaged 25 points per game in 2024.
4:5125. That ceiling is unheard of. For reference, Josh Allen has never averaged 25 points per game in his NFL career.
5:00So, I think Lamar Jackson's a fine pick in the fifth round. And then for Derrick Henry, obviously, if you're using our
5:06draft sheets, you'll see that I have him as a mid to late second round pick in PPR leagues, but if you're playing in a
5:11nonPR format, I actually have Derrick Henry up there as an early round one pick. So, Henry specifically, make sure you are adjusting to your league
5:19settings. But of course, if you don't know exactly how you should be doing that with those rankings, we got you covered with the flockfantasy.com draft
5:26sheets. There are over 70 total draft sheets tailored to your exact league settings and the draft platform that you are on. You have realtime draft
5:34assistance with flockfantasy.com as well. And you get access to the trade calculator through the entire season, weekly rankings, and rest of season
5:42rankings throughout the entire year with the $34 season pass. Yep. Season pass is only 34 bucks. Not $34 a month, but $34
5:51for the entire season. And if you sign up with code flock, you're going to be getting to ask me free starts it and
5:56trade questions during the live streams, which I'm going to be doing every single night during the year. Now, the Dallas Cowboys will be our next offense. I
6:03don't want to spend too long here either. I mean, sports books have the Cowboys projected out score 25.7 points, but Lamb's a round one pick. George
6:12Piggins goes at the two-3 turn. Javvante Williams goes in the third. So, people already know Cowboys going to be a great
6:17offense. Hell, I may be drafting Brandon Aubrey a little early in the flock league this year. I'll throw that out there. Now, dropping down to our next
6:23tier. Let's move over to the San Francisco 49ers. The Niners cost are kind of all over the place. Ricky Pierall now out for this season. So,
6:33obviously, if you're looking at like sleeper ADP, it's going to be way out to date. And just make sure you're going
6:38into your draft with an actual good set of sheets. But, yeah, Ricky Pieraw completely undraftable at this point.
6:43And that leaves just Mike Evans, Debo Samuel, and Dean stribbling as the only wide receivers here in San Francisco. I
6:53have bumped Mike Evans up my rankings slightly since we got this news with Ricky Pierall. I previously had Mike Evans ranked as an early fifth round
7:02pick, but now I moved him up to a late fourth round pick. But if you're drafting on ESPN, he goes way after
7:08that. If you're drafting on Yahoo, he goes way after that. If you're drafting on CBS, he goes way after that. and even
7:13he goes after that on sleeper. So with Mike Evans, I think he is a solid target. I'm gonna be honest with you.
7:19Regarding Debo Samuel as well as Deshawn Stribbling, I wouldn't be that excited to draft them in my regular reddraft league. However, in your best formats,
7:28if you take him as a wide receiver six and he turns out to be a wide receiver three, then that could be exciting. Now,
7:34the Green Bay Packers will be our next offense. And the Packers are underpriced if we are looking at the total number of
7:40points that they're supposed to score.
7:42Cuz what has led to Green Bay never producing a top wide receiver in fantasy since Devonte Adams left? Has it been
7:49how bad the offense is? How bad the quarterback plays? No. It's been they use a wide receiver by committee and they have so many freaking names that
7:59cycle through.
8:01But now you have multiple wide receivers departing from Green Bay with Dantavian Wixs as well as Romeo Dobs and the Packers still project to be a top 10
8:12offense in the league. So if you go through and you look at the Packers price at the moment, Christian Watson is
8:17a seventh round pick in ESPN drafts.
8:19He's a fifth round pick in Yahoo drafts.
8:21On flockfantasy.com, we have them ranked as an early sixth. So if you're using the draft sheets, you'll see probably want to take them on ESPN. Probably want
8:27to avoid him in Yahoo. Um, but even moving beyond Christian Watson, like Tucker Craft is incredibly cheap. Tucker Craft, at the time of this recording,
8:37has an 80p in ESPN drafts, like pick 100. This dude is going to absolutely crush. Um, if we're going through and
8:45looking at Josh Jacobs, obviously we have off the- field stuff we need to be concerned with, but Jacobs, I think, is
8:50a really quality pick in the third round, assuming that he doesn't get suspended. So, the Green Bay Packers, honestly, based on sportsbook
8:58projections, they do seem to be underpriced. Now, going over to the Seattle Seahawks, this offense is supposed to be much worse
9:06year-over-year. Like, the Seahawks averaged 28.4 points per game last season. They currently project to score 24.8 this year. Now, with that being
9:16said, they still project to be a top 10 offense. And if we look at where their players are getting drafted, extremely
9:23low. Like obviously JSN's a round one pick as I think he should be. Seahawks still project to be a top 10 offense
9:29even with the change with the offensive coordinator. They will regress a ton, but JSN last year from a market share perspective had 36% of the Seattle
9:39Seahawks targets. So this dude is an absolute monster. If we go over and look at Jadarian Price, Jadarian Price is currently being drafted as the running
9:47back 26. in sleeper drafts. This dude goes after the sixth round. Now in ESPN, Yahoo, there he goes in the middle of
9:56the sixth, which I think is appropriately priced, but we actually have him as a fifthround pick on flockfantasy.com.
10:02But Jadarian Price incredibly cheap.
10:05Maybe you're worried about Zack Sharpet coming in later, but Zack Charbanet, I mean, you can get him pretty damn cheap as well, especially if you can just go
10:11ahead and throw him on your IR spot. So, because there's no target competition at all for JSN, and while this offense
10:17should be worse, I'm still a-ok okay going through and targeting JSN in round one. And then Chicago is going to be our
10:24last offense in this tier. The Bears project to score 24.6 points per game this season, which is slightly less than where they were at last year and 25.9.
10:33But keep in mind, you no longer have to deal with DJ Moore for the pass catchers in this offense. And at the same time,
10:39Olzakia shouldn't be seeing the same amount of work that he had last year, right? All of a sudden, a haunt of
10:44targets are open for Luther Burton, for Coulson Lovelin, for Roma Dunay. And it's not like the offense is supposed to fall off either. Now, fantasy drafters,
10:53they definitely know this. Luther Burton is like a late fourth round pick on average, maybe slides to the fifth round if you're an ESPN. Roma Dunce is going
11:02at the end of the fifth, the beginning of the sixth, depending on your draft platform. Coulson Loveland is currently a fourthround pick pretty much across
11:11the board as well. So people note the Bears are supposed to be really good.
11:14You're not going to get some secret information in this video regarding the Bears offense. Now moving down to our next offense, we are going to have the
11:23Kansas City Chiefs. So obviously you have a couple big concerns with Kansas City this year and the majority of them hinge around Patrick Mahomes and his own
11:32recovery. with Mahomes. The ACL tear happened at the very end of the season.
11:37He did get surgery immediately. He is pretty much a lock to play week one, but we've already had comments coming out of
11:43KC regarding his mobility and the fact that he's maybe not going to run the ball as much as he did. But this is
11:51going to obviously impact all the other players in this offense. Rasheed Rice, we had a video coming out of camp of him
11:57looking incredibly slow, incredibly sluggish after his own knee surgery. And obviously, keep in mind, this dude went to jail this off seasonason as well. But
12:06Rice is currently a second round pick in ESPN in sleeper drafts. He goes in the third round in Yahoo drafts. I would be
12:13looking at him for teams where I start with Gibbs or Bejian Robinson in the second or the third round. Um, outside
12:20of that, everybody's pretty damn cheap.
12:21Travis Kelce goes after pick 100. Xavier Worthy goes after pick 100 as well. Um, and Kenneth Walker is really the expensive guy. And with Walker, I
12:31personally have been using this data to avoid him in a lot of those baseball drafts that I was doing. But if I look
12:38at ESPN, if I look at CBS and Sleeper, there he goes at the end of the second round, which I do think is a lot more
12:46reasonable. Of course, people are so excited about Kenneth Walker just finally seeing the Kansas City Chiefs have a dynamic and explosive running
12:53back that can break off big plays. But at the same time, Kenneth Walker last season was the running back 29 in points
13:01per game. And last year, the Seattle Seahawks, the offense he was in, averaged 28 and a half points per game.
13:08And the offense he's supposed to be in this year with the Kansas City Chiefs currently at 24.1. So, um I am a little
13:15afraid based on this data that people are assuming that Walker is going to absolutely crush and I think the Chiefs offense may not be as good as people are
13:23projecting it out to be. Now, moving over to our next one, the Philadelphia Eagles are supposed to get a bump up.
13:28Obviously, I know my comment section hates Jaylen Herz. I actually think Jayen Herz is a good fantasy quarterback, but last year the Eagles
13:35averaged 22.3 points per game. This year, their projections at 23.8.
13:41I think while yes, you lose a ton of talent with A.G. Brown going over the New England Patriots, you do just change
13:47the offensive coordinator, which hopefully should make this offense way more creative, open things up and help Saquon Barkley, Devontto Smith, Mai
13:55Lemon, um, a Dallas Goddard, etc., etc., etc. Now, I am not drafting Barkley though very often because the Chargers project to score the same amount of
14:05points as the Philadelphia Eagles right now. And obviously, the Chargers were a worse offense last year. But the reason I'm not drafting a lot of Barkley is I
14:13just prefer Amari and Hampton. Again, looking at the Chargers supposedly taking this massive step forward from an offensive environment. It makes sense
14:21with a change with a coaching staff and also the improved offensive line.
14:25Whereas in Philadelphia, you really just have the change with the coaching staff.
14:29So, um the Chargers, I think you should expect this team to be way better.
14:34Everybody knows this though. Amari Hampton is the second round pick currently. Lad McConi is a fourthrounder. Um Quinton Johnston I still find myself drafting a ton if I'm
14:44like in a sleeper or an ESPN draft because there he goes after pick 100.
14:48Now the New England Patriots are also in this same tier. The Patriots are so interesting to look at and I know that
14:57this is where most people are going to disagree and most people are going to go to the comment section and say Mason
15:02sports books they don't know what they are doing. I mean, these projections are garbage. And I'll just say they pretty much nailed to who the bottom five
15:09offenses were in the league last year and helped us avoid Ash and Genty in drafts. They pretty much nailed who the
15:14top five offenses were going to be as well. The sports books know a thing or two, but the Patriots are supposed to be
15:20the number one offense in the league with regression year-over-year. Last year, they averaged 28.8 points and this year they are at a projection of 23.8.
15:31That is a drop in five points per game.
15:34Well, maybe they became a little bit more talented adding AJ Brown. Again, the schedule is just going to be so so
15:41so much worse. So, I can't sit here and tell you that like AJ Brown's a horrible pick by any means. I think it kind of
15:50depends on the draft platform that you're on because I mean right now if we look say in ESPN drafts and Yahoo
15:56drafts, he goes to the two three turn, which is personally where I have AJ Brown ranked. Like if I went Bejon
16:01Robinson in the first and then I can get AJ Brown at the end of the second, that's chef's kiss. That's beautiful.
16:06But I've seen some people making an argument that AJ Brown should be a late first, early second because this offense is so so much better than what he dealt
16:15with in Philadelphia last year. And I'm sitting here going, well, the quarterback plays definitely better. I mean, the total amount of points scored
16:21in the offense should be about the same.
16:23Now, let's go ahead and drop us down a tier and let's look at the Washington Commanders. Shouldn't be that big of a
16:28surprise. The Commanders are supposed to be a lot better this year than they were last year. Last year, Jaden Daniels got
16:33injured. They only averaged 20.9 points per game. This year, they're up at 23.5.
16:38So, what I found myself doing is I've actually been betting on a Terry Mcccluren bounceback. I've actually been drafting a decent amount of Jaden
16:46Daniels as well if I want that elite quarterback because he is going to run the ball a ton. Now, let's move over to
16:52our other two offenses that are supposed to be much worse this year than they were last. The Indianapolis Colts averaged 27.4 points per game last
17:01season and then this year they're projecting to score 23.4. Now obviously everything hinges on Daniel Jones here.
17:10When Daniel Jones was healthy performing at the beginning of the season, the Indianapolis Colts were up there as the best offense in the NFL. Once Daniel
17:18Jones went down and they brought in 45year-old Philip Rivers, everything fell apart and you can't blame them for that. But projecting out going into the
17:26future, this Indianapolis Colts offensive line looks a little bit worse.
17:30They no longer have Michael Pitman Jr.
17:33Daniel Jones is coming off a torn Achilles. So, sports books are telling us that the Colts should be a much worse
17:38offense this year than they were last, which is why I'm not in love with taking Jonathan Taylor in round one. And if
17:44you're using our draft sheets, and you'll see that if you're playing in a full PPR format with multiple flex spots there, I'd prefer Aman Ross St. Brown
17:52over JT. But of course, if you're playing in a league with only one flex, then you probably prefer the running back. Now, the Jacksonville Jaguars are
17:58also supposed to be significantly worse than they were last year. The Jackson Jaguars in the second half of last season were one of the best offenses in
18:07the league. Travis ETN was out there just crushing. I mean, even Parker Washington was helping in the final four or five games for people to win their
18:16fantasy championships. But they project to score 23.3 points per game this season. That's down from 27.9 the year prior. That's the second to worst drop
18:27that we have in the entire NFL. I know that we went ahead and looked at the PFF offensive line grades last year and the
18:33Jags were pretty good. And when we looked at the offensive line projections for this season, the Jagso line was supposed to be worse. And this has led
18:40to me not loving the Jacksonville Jaguars cost because if we go through and we look at the amount of wide receivers that they have, they have
18:48Brian Thomas, they have Parker Washington, they have Jacobe Meyers, and I'm dumb enough to still believe that Travis Hunter can be something. So, what
18:56I'm worried about in Jacksonville is I'm worried that this offense is going to be much worse than they were a year ago.
19:01While at the same time, they're almost going to be running a wide receiver by committee, similar to what we've seen with the Green Bay Packers over the past
19:07few years. So, I'm not drafting a ton of Trevor Lawrence. I'm not drafting a ton of Jacksonville receivers outside of basketball drafts. You know, it'll make
19:14sense. Me some Travis Hunter. Now, Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be the next offense.
19:18Um, Bucks supposed to be a little bit better this year than they were last.
19:21This is despite them losing Mike Evans, but obviously Baker Mayfield dealt with injuries last season and the Bucks offensive line dealt with some pretty
19:28serious injuries as well. Um, the Texans do project to get a little bit worse year-over-year. Um, nothing really changes here in Houston. Maybe they just
19:36outperformed a bit last season. The Minnesota Vikings project to get better.
19:41Last year they averaged 20.2 points per game. This year the projections up at 22.4. It is very easy to understand why
19:48this is the case. You move from JJ McCarthy to Kyler Murray. He's going to come in and save the day. And honestly,
19:54I am completely fine with the Vikings cost. Jefferson's a late round one pick.
19:58Right now, he's pick 11 on ESPN on Yahoo. He's picked 10 in sleeper drafts.
20:03We have him a little higher with the flock fantasy.com average expert ranks about 9 and a half. But if we go through
20:10and look at the other players in this offense, Jordan Mason goes at an average pick of 120. Aaron Jones goes at an
20:16average pick of 112.
20:19And TJ Hawinson goes at an average pick of 155. Jordan Madison goes at an average pick of 100. So the only
20:26expensive guy in this entire offense is Jefferson. So, I'm fine buying the Vikings and assuming they're a little bit better year-over-year. Now, the
20:34Denver Broncos project to be the 21st ranked offense in the league this year, which I don't exactly understand because they should have the best offensive line
20:44in the league and they add Jaylen Wadd.
20:46And right now, sports books are saying that they're going to get slightly worse. If somebody in the comment section could explain this to me, I I
20:53would love to hear the explanation on why. But if you're gonna have like the best offensive line in the NFL, you add
20:59Jaylen Wadd, um, from all reports, sounds like Bo Knicks is gonna go, I don't see why the Broncos would be any
21:05worse. And the New York Giants will be about the same year-over-year according to sports books. But I will be interested to see if the Giants
21:12projection gets better as time goes on, when we get more clarity regarding the Malik Neighbors and Cam Scataboo stuff.
21:19Scataboo probably matters a little bit less for these sports book projections.
21:22I don't necessarily know if a running back like that is actually going to move the needle in terms of sports books
21:27projecting a team to win football games or not, but I do believe that Malik Neighbors one of the very few players in
21:32football that his presence on the field will actually impact how an offense performs over the course of the season.
21:40Now, dropping down to our next tier, we're going to have the New Orleans Saints. The Saints look pretty low on this list, but keep in mind they
21:46averaged only 18 points per game last season. So, their projection at 21 and a half this year has them as one of the
21:54best offenses in the league in terms of improvement year-over-year. It makes sense though with Tyler Shuck going into year two and you add in Jordan Tyson
22:02plus Travis ETN. Now, the Pittsburgh Steelers supposed to be worse year-over-year. I don't think that's too big of a surprise for me personally. I
22:10don't love the coaching staff change and Aaron Rogers is another year older. The Atlanta Falcons project to be about the same slash slightly a little better. And
22:18with this Falcons projection, it's why I'm not worried about drafting Drake London at the end of the second round because I can go through and I can look
22:25at what London did last year and go, okay, if he was that good last year, he can just replicate because he's the only
22:30guy in the offense that can catch the ball. Going over to the Carolina Panthers, the Panthers are supposed to be much better this year than they were
22:36last. Last year they average 18.3 points per game. This year they jump up to 20.7 with the projections. So, I've been fine
22:44drafting Tedo McMillan in the fourth round of fantasy drafts this year.
22:48Tennessee Titans are supposed to get a lot better as well. They averaged 16.7 points per game last season. Their projections at 20.6 this year. So, one
22:57of the best offenses in terms of improvement. The Raiders though are projected to be the number one offense in improvement year-over-year. People
23:06understand this. Bowowers is a second round pick. Gent's a first round pick.
23:10Now, they don't have anybody else in this offense, but again, we've been talking about this all off seasonason.
23:15Massive improvements in the quarterback room with the coaching staff, and they invested into the offensive line. That's the trifecta there. So, I'm completely
23:23fine with you deciding to draft Ashen Genty at the end of round one because they project score five points per game
23:28more this year than last year. The Dolphins are supposed to be slightly worse. They were bad last year, but this is why Devon Aan instead of being an
23:36early first round pick is a mid-sec round pick. I've been drafting him at that cost. The Browns are supposed to be
23:42better year-over-year. Last year they averaged 16.4 points per game. This year they're at 18.7. The Jets are about the same. Last year they were at 17.6. This
23:51year 18.5. So Gino is supposed to make them a little bit better. But the Cardinals are supposed to be a worse
23:58offense year-over-year. And this is where like things get so freaking dicey for me because like we can look at this data, right? And I can say, all right,
24:09with Trey McBride, he averaged 18 and a half fantasy points per game last year, way more than any other player in the
24:16third round. So, like, while I understand he's probably going to be worse for a multitude of reasons, including that the offense is supposed
24:23to be pretty damn bad.
24:25It's already priced in for him. Like Jeremiah Love, same thing where Jeremiah Love is supposed to be trapped in a garbage offense like Ashen Genty was
24:33last season. But Genty as a rookie was getting drafted in round one of fantasy drafts. I'm fine taking Jeremiah Love in
24:40the third round. Maybe as we go over to the wide receivers with Marv and Michael Wilson, this becomes a little more
24:45pronounced. But I don't know, maybe I'm a sucker here. I need to listen to the data. I need to just cross Jeremiah Love
24:52as well as Trey McBride off my draft boards. But I've been dumb enough to be taking those guys in round three. But I
24:59really appreciate you. I really hope I was able to help you out with this. And big thing that I want to point out here
25:04that people aren't going to like, the Patriots and the Jags are supposed to be much worse this year from an offensive
25:10perspective. And the offenses that should be much better are the Titans and the Raiders. But I really appreciate you. I really hope I was able to help
25:19you out with this video. Of course, if you want to win your fantasy league this year, the season pass on fogg
