12 Guys We’d Jump Through A Table For in 2026

Matt Harmon expresses concern regarding A.J. Brown's current ADP, noting he is being drafted as the 13th overall player despite potential injury risks and a possible decline. Harmon points to Brown's history of knee issues and suggests that Devonta Smith may have outplayed him in certain stretches, making Brown a risky investment at his current price.

Matt Harmon notes early signs of decline for A.J. Brown, citing his age (29) and a history of lower-body injuries. While he remains a focal point of the offense, the team must move him around the formation to create layup opportunities to mitigate his physical decline.

Matt Harmon expects Brian Thomas Jr. to be a better individual player this year due to improved health, but warns that his fantasy production will likely be inconsistent. Harmon believes the Jaguars' receiver room will be a 'whack-a-mole' rotation, with Travis Hunter potentially taking outside snaps and Jacoby Myers remaining a consistent presence.

Cam Ward is still a developing prospect whose success depends on his ability to play in rhythm and on time from the pocket within Brian Daboll's system. His primary strength is the respect and belief he commands from his teammates, which is considered a vital foundation for his development.

Justin Boone identifies Chase Brown as a high-upside target, noting his versatility as both a runner and a pass-catcher. Brown finished as the RB3 in fantasy points per game over the final 10 games of last season (19.1 PPG) and 23.7 PPG during the fantasy playoffs. Josh Norris adds that Brown's environment is elite, citing his 74% red-zone snap share, the return of all five offensive line starters, and the team's shift toward under-center work, which benefits his running style.

Matt Harmon believes Chase Brown can elevate from a tier two/three back to tier one if the Bengals successfully blur the lines between their run and pass schemes. Despite concerns about the quarterback's preference for static looks, the floor remains high because the team will still score points even if they revert to old habits. Harmon notes that all signs, including consistent offseason buzz about Brown being a focal point, point in the right direction.

Matt Harmon ranks Chase Brown at the top of the second-round running back cluster, behind only Saquon Barkley and Kenneth Walker III. Harmon emphasizes that he wants all of these running backs before pivoting to wide receivers in drafts.

Justin Boone expresses concern regarding Christian McCaffrey's heavy workload, noting he reached 450 touches including playoffs and is now over 30 years old. Boone highlights that historical age curves suggest a decline for players with such high usage, leading him to move McCaffrey down his rankings. Harmon adds that McCaffrey is a binary asset: either the best player in fantasy or a season-ruiner, which makes him a risky click at his current top-6 ADP.

Dalton Kincaid is viewed as having significant breakout potential at his current ADP of TE10. While injuries hampered his production last year, the Bills' offense under Joe Brady is expected to increase its pass rate, creating a highly concentrated target environment that benefits Kincaid as a primary pass-catcher.

Matt Harmon prefers Devon Achane over Derrick Henry, citing Achane's ability to produce via volume and his heavy involvement in the passing game. Harmon suggests that even if the Dolphins' offense regresses, Achane's role as a pass-catcher provides a stable floor.

Matt Harmon advocates for Derrick Henry as a 1-2 turn value, arguing that his physical decline is overstated. Despite a drop in yards before contact, Henry's yards after contact increased in 2025. Harmon notes Henry is a 'unicorn' who enters the season with a high touchdown floor, as the Ravens are favored in 14 games. Justin Boone remains skeptical due to age-related decline curves for running backs entering year 11, though he acknowledges Henry's unique status.

Matt Harmon expresses concern regarding Derrick Henry's age, noting that he will be 32 in January. This age-related decline risk makes Harmon prefer Devon Achane over Henry in fantasy drafts.

Devonta Smith is poised for a breakout as the primary receiver in Philadelphia with A.J. Brown removed from the mix. Smith has proven he can handle a WR1 role, evidenced by a 32.9% target share and 10 targets per game in contests without Brown. Harmon highlights his 84th percentile success rate versus press and 90th percentile versus zone, ranking him ahead of A.J. Brown in his personal rankings.

Ryan Fitzpatrick feels great about Drake Maye's trajectory entering his second season, citing his ability to survive and thrive after a difficult rookie start against the Texans. Maye's leadership and chemistry with new receivers are expected to improve, and the addition of Romeo Dobbs is highlighted as an underrated move that will benefit Maye.

Ryan Fitzpatrick is impressed by Fernando Mendoza's preseason performance, specifically his ability to throw seam balls on time and in rhythm. While Kirk Cousins is the starter, Fitzpatrick identifies the Week 8 matchup against New York as a potential turning point for Mendoza to take over the starting role.

Jadarian Price is a high-upside rookie sleeper in the Seahawks backfield. Despite being a first-round pick, his ADP remains low. Harmon believes the backfield split will be less rigid than last year, and with Zach Charbonnet dealing with injury, Price has a path to significant volume, including passing-down work, which the team is prioritizing under new play-caller Brian Flurry.

Matt Harmon argues Jalen Waddle is being drafted too late as a WR17, noting he has the upside to finish as a top-10 receiver. Waddle's efficiency metrics remain elite, ranking 11th in successful targets per route run and 12th in yards per route run last year despite playing in a low-volume Miami offense. The move to Denver, which ranked 5th in plays compared to Miami's 31st, provides a massive opportunity for increased volume.

Matthew Golden is a high-upside sleeper currently priced well below his floor. Despite being a second-year player in a projected top-8 scoring offense, he is being drafted outside the top 120. Jordan Love has specifically praised Golden's work in practice, noting that his progressions frequently lead him to Golden.

Matt Harmon identifies Parker Washington as a priority target, citing his 31% target share and 3.17 yards per route run when playing alongside other Jaguars receivers last year. Harmon highlights Washington's success in the slot (82% success rate vs. zone) and notes that the coaching staff is actively hyping him as the team's number one receiver.

Matt Harmon remains high on Rome Odunze, advocating for drafting pieces of the Bears' offense. Odunze showed efficiency as a rookie, ranking top-19 in yards per route run, and is expected to take a step forward in his second year as the offense continues to evolve.

Josh Norris ranks Saquon Barkley 7th overall, significantly higher than his 15th overall consensus ADP. Norris argues that Barkley's 2024 struggles were largely due to offensive line injuries—noting the unit only played together for 42% of snaps—and highlights a favorable schedule (3rd easiest for RBs). Matt Harmon notes he has Barkley 10th overall, one spot ahead of ADP, and emphasizes that Barkley's ability to change coverage math makes him a superior target to Christian McCaffrey at their respective costs.

Travis Etienne's fantasy outlook is mixed. While he benefits from a high-paced Kellen Moore offense and potential volume due to Alvin Kamara's injury, he faces efficiency concerns. He led the league in fantasy points from short-field drives last year, but his rushing efficiency dropped significantly after Week 8, ranking 24th in yards per carry and 30th in success rate.

Matt Harmon is highly optimistic about Trevor Lawrence this season, viewing him as a priority target in the middle rounds of drafts. Harmon argues that Lawrence is a solution to the Jaguars' receiver room problems and is willing to 'jump through the table' to secure him as his quarterback.

Matt Harmon recommends drafting Trevor Lawrence as a priority target in the eighth round. Lawrence finished as a top-six fantasy QB in points per game last year despite early-season struggles and is expected to benefit from a favorable schedule and increased comfort in the system. Harmon notes that Lawrence's rushing production (nine TDs last year) provides a high fantasy floor.
