As the 2026 NFL season approaches, starting on Wednesday, September 9, Fantasy football enthusiasts are gearing up for draft season. This year's trend shows running backs being selected early, with notable players like Jahmyr Gibbs (ADP 1), Bijan Robinson (2), Jonathan Taylor (5), Christian McCaffrey (7), and James Cook (9) dominating the first round. The first wide receiver off the board is Ja'Marr Chase (3), while Josh Allen (19) leads the quarterbacks, and Brock Bowers (25) is the top tight end.

For serious Fantasy players, the 2026 Fantasy Football Draft Bible from SportsLine, prepared by experts R.J. White and Josh Nagel, serves as an essential resource. White, a seasoned NFL expert since 2017, and Nagel, a veteran in Fantasy football, provide invaluable insights, including:

• Key draft strategies tailored to different positions and draft slots

Highlighted must-draft players include:

• RB David Montgomery (50 ADP): With a history of over 1,100 total yards for five consecutive seasons, Montgomery is positioned to deliver significant production.
• TE Tucker Kraft (73 ADP): Coming back strong from an ACL injury, Kraft has shown potential as a key target in the Packers' offense.
• WR Quentin Johnston (105 ADP): After a promising start to the previous season, Johnston benefits from a new offensive coordinator, aiming to exploit mismatches with Justin Herbert.
