14 Ridiculous Fantasy Predictions We Aren't Responsible For

Bo Nix is projected as a top-10 quarterback. He has shown efficiency in his first two seasons despite poor supporting casts and now benefits from the NFL's number one offensive line and an improved receiving corps. The Broncos' offense is expected to be a top-five scoring unit.

Jeremiah Love ranks Tate highly due to his draft capital and potential, but notes concerns regarding his low YAC per reception. While he is a talented route runner, Love suggests he requires a more functional offense to succeed compared to players like Concepcion.

Carnell Tate is overvalued at his 7th-round ADP compared to Casey Concepcion. Tate is projected to play primarily on the outside against number-one corners in an offense that is viewed with skepticism following preseason performance.

Jeremiah Love projects Colston Loveland to finish as the TE1, potentially outscoring Brock Bowers and Trey McBride. Love cites Loveland's high efficiency as a rookie, his superior route running compared to McBride, and his blocking ability which allows for more advantageous matchups against linebackers.

Jeremiah Love is aggressively overexposed to Colton Loveland, noting that he ranks him back-to-back with Trey McBride; he prefers drafting Loveland in later rounds rather than spending high capital on McBride.

Jeremiah Love notes that while he was previously critical of D'Andre Swift, the player's usage in a zone-heavy scheme last year maximized his strengths as a pass-catcher and outside runner, while using other backs for gap-heavy, between-the-tackle work.

Jeremiah Love argues that Deandre Swift is undervalued at his mid-to-late fourth-round ADP, noting he led the NFL in rush yards over expectation last year and outperformed Khalil Herbert in nearly every advanced metric, including explosive run rate and target share. Love projects Swift as a top-12 running back and the highest-scoring player in the 'dead zone' tier.

Jacob Sanderson predicts Jalen Hurts will be the highest advanced-rate quarterback this season, citing his weight loss as a signal for increased rushing volume and a potential return to elite fantasy production; he views Hurts as a value in the 6th-9th round range.

Jacob Sanderson and Sam Sherman express concern regarding Jaden Daniels' supporting infrastructure, specifically the offensive line and lack of established wide receivers, leading them to prefer Jalen Hurts for his more stable situation.

Jalen Waddle is a top-10 wide receiver candidate who should be drafted in the third round. He is expected to be the centerpiece of Sean Payton's offense, serving as the primary move piece while absorbing significant screen volume. The move from Tua Tagovailoa to Bo Nix is viewed as a major upgrade for Waddle's fantasy ceiling.

Jeremiah Love should be drafted ahead of Ashton Gentry; Love has a 10-day recovery advantage from his ankle sprain and possesses superior explosive playability and receiving metrics compared to Gentry. Love is a dynamic weapon who can better overcome a poor offensive environment.

Jordan Addison is highlighted as a 'forgotten man' and a cheap stack option with Kyler Murray. Despite taking a hit in full PPR, he has proven production and is priced as the WR22, with potential to outperform that ranking.

Jeremiah Love argues the Chiefs will shift to a run-heavy approach in 2026, making Kenneth Walker a primary target at the 1-2 turn. Walker is viewed as the key to creating explosive plays and forcing defenses to respect the run, which could open up the passing game.

Jeremiah Love characterizes Khalil Herbert as a limited prospect who was significantly outperformed by Deandre Swift in efficiency metrics last season. Love suggests that Swift's superior performance in rush yards over expectation and explosive run rate makes him the clear lead back, while Herbert's role is likely to remain secondary.

The panel is high on Kyler Murray as a top-10 fantasy quarterback, citing his improved supporting cast (Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison), a solid offensive line, and his full recovery from a leg injury. They believe he is being undervalued and is a prime target for fantasy managers.

Jacob Sanderson is significantly below ADP on Lad McConkey, noting that his efficiency metrics declined as his route volume increased last year; he fears McConkey could lose snaps to Trey Harris in a rotational offense.

Jeremiah Love views Luther Burden as the most dynamic playmaker on the Bears, noting that if he had to choose one player to get the ball in space for explosive gains, he would choose Burden every time. Love acknowledges the crowded target environment but believes Burden's role in the manufactured touch game is elite.

Jeremiah Love ranks Lemon in the same tier as Carnell Tate and Casey Concepcion, noting that while draft capital might suggest otherwise, he is a high-upside prospect. In deeper leagues, he is a strong target, though in managed leagues with short benches, he may be a waiver wire add after the first few weeks.

Malik Willis is identified as an undervalued 'Konami code' quarterback with a high rushing floor. Despite concerns about his passing ability and receiving corps, his rushing production provides a QB1 ceiling, making him a viable late-round target in managed leagues.

Matthew Golden is poised to be the highest-scoring Green Bay pass catcher. Despite a small rookie sample, he posted a 1.53 yards per route run, outperforming peers like George Pickens and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. With Romeo Dobbs and Dontavian Wicks gone, Golden is the primary candidate to operate as the all-around WR1 in an offense potentially shifting to a faster pace.

Jacob Sanderson is significantly below ADP on Quentin Johnston, citing obvious flaws in his game and the potential for a wide receiver rotation that limits his total route participation.

Jeremiah Love warns that Rashee Rice carries catastrophic downside risk, especially in half-PPR formats. He cites concerns over Rice's inefficiency (7.4 yards per target in 2025), poor performance against man coverage, and recent health/legal issues as reasons to fade him.

Jeremiah Love predicts Rome Odunze will finish as a top-20 wide receiver, highlighting his strong usage early last season (WR18 in per-game usage) before a foot injury derailed his campaign. Love notes that Odunze is not just a static X-receiver and has the athletic profile to take a significant step forward in his second year.

Jacob Sanderson believes Trey Harris has a 10% chance to emerge as the Chargers' WR1, citing his impressive college yards per route run and strong camp reviews; he views Harris as a high-upside best ball target who could benefit from the team's shift toward 11 personnel and reduced tight end target competition.

Jeremiah Love ranks Trey McBride and Colston Loveland back-to-back, acknowledging McBride's established production as a top-tier tight end while arguing that Loveland's route-running profile and team context give him a path to equal or exceed that output.

The panel notes that preseason usage suggests the Giants are actively trying to make Wan'Dale Robinson a focal point of the offense, potentially making him a better full PPR play than Carnell Tate.
