FantasyPros - 10 Fantasy Football Questions That Will Define 2026: Sleepers, Breakouts & Draft Values (Ep. 2173)

Sean Mannion will bring new blood to a drab Eagles offense, potentially maximizing Makai Lemon and DeVonta Smith through slot and Z receiver rotations.

The Eagles were bottom-tier in motion, play action, and YAC, but Mannion will add those elements and Hurts is already elite throwing over the middle.

The Eagles' offense will cook this year, making players like DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert, and Jalen Hurts strong draft values.

Declan Doyle may not drastically boost Lamar Jackson or Derrick Henry but could increase red zone usage for receivers like Zay Flowers.

David Blough will add scheme bells and whistles, but Washington's offensive line composition may limit outside zone running and overall effectiveness.

Zay Flowers is a key player to watch under Doyle for potential red zone usage increases after a 1,200-yard season with limited pass attempts.

Dontayvion Wicks has elite separation and route win metrics and could pop as a full-time X receiver if Makai Lemon is used part-time.

Wicks has always been good at getting open but struggled with drops early, similar to Davante Adams and Quentin Johnston, suggesting upside if he improves hands.

Jordan Mason is poised to be Minnesota's lead back in an outside zone scheme, offering RB4 value despite limited pass-catching ability.

Minnesota's offense will shift to a run-heavy, play-action style with Kyler Murray, giving Mason a path to 1,000 rushing yards and heavy volume.

The Bears' defense is severely injured at safety and cornerback, while the Ben Johnson offense features exciting pieces, leading to high-scoring games.

The Bears' defense allowed high passing and rushing yardage last year and traded away Gervon Dexter, making it unlikely to improve despite turnover stats.

The Bears fit the prototype of a great offense with a bad defense, similar to past Bengals and Cowboys teams.

The Bengals and Cowboys will have top-12 fantasy defenses and are his picks to make the Super Bowl due to transformative defensive line additions.

Both teams will improve defensively to at least average, but he is more confident in Dallas than Cincinnati due to aging pieces like Dexter Lawrence.

The Lions will be in many track meets due to a terrific offense and a secondary missing Pro Bowl safeties Brian Branch and Kirby Joseph.

The Packers could also be a high-scoring circus team until Michael Parsons returns and with a potential downgrade from Hasley to Jonathan Gannon.

The Raiders will disappoint if defenses focus on stopping Brock Bowers and Ashton Jeanty, leaving Kirk Cousins with a weak supporting cast and offensive line.

He is less worried about the Raiders because Clint Kubiak has a history of maximizing limited passing game options, as seen with DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

The Jaguars have too many mouths to feed among running backs and receivers, and a poor offensive line limits upside for players like Parker Washington and Travis Hunter.

The Jaguars' backfield could be a mess, and Brian Thomas Jr. faces a brutal early schedule against elite corners, making him a potential drop candidate early.

The Seahawks are risky after losing play-caller Clint Kubiak, and the Falcons will disappoint because a poor quarterback situation undermines Bijan Robinson, Drake London, and Kyle Pitts.

The Falcons' quarterback room is so bad that Jack Driscoll may start, and he has no faith in Tua Tagovailoa or Michael Penix Jr. to support the offense.

Harold Fannin Jr. led FBS in receptions and yards in college and led the Browns in receiving stats as a rookie, and a quarterback upgrade will push him to tier-one status.

Dalton Kincaid led all tight ends in every key per-route metric last year and will be a top-five tight end if his route share reaches 65-70%.

Kincaid's efficiency numbers are unsustainable and a PCL injury may lead to snap management, limiting his path to tier-one status despite his talent.

Parker Washington is the best value in drafts and could be a clear WR1 if he signs an extension, building on his amazing late-season slot production.

Parker Washington is a solid value but has seen his ADP rise recently, baking out some of the extreme upside he had earlier in the draft season.

Christian Watson is poised for a good season with reduced receiving corps traffic and an expected increase in Green Bay's pass rate, offering star upside if healthy.

Christian Watson is a top-20 wide receiver with elite efficiency metrics and could rank as high as WR14 if other offenses underperform.

Green Bay's pass rate will increase without Josh Jacobs, and Jordan Love was QB5 in fantasy points per game the last time Jacobs wasn't in the offense.

Makai Lemon could be the best rookie in the class given his college efficiency and Eagles opportunity, while Jonah Coleman fits Sean Payton's system in Denver.

Casey Concepcion is a clear WR1 for Cleveland who will get designed targets and rushing attempts, offering high volume even if the Browns struggle.

Carnell Tate is a downfield ball winner who could suffer if Cam Ward doesn't improve and the Titans' downfield passing game remains a mess.

Cam Ward looked lost in the preseason against vanilla defenses, and if he doesn't improve, the entire Titans offense including Tate will suffer.

Jared Goff has consistently produced 4,400+ passing yards and 29+ TDs over four years and benefits from indoor games and an easy schedule.

Malik Willis is a top-15 floor quarterback due to his rushing ability, similar to past Justin Fields seasons, and could produce as a QB1.

Mike McDaniel's offensive metrics in Miami were top-10 with Tyreek Hill but bottom-tier without him, raising questions about whether Hill propped up the system.

The Tyreek Hill data is stark, but McDaniel is still a good offensive designer, and Justin Herbert's talent could overcome scheme concerns despite offensive line injuries.

McDaniel led Tua to a league-leading passing yardage season, so his potential with Justin Herbert is high, but offensive line injuries and Tyreek Hill's absence warrant caution.

Puka Nacua could average 26+ PPR points per game, making him the first wide receiver to do so since 2013 and a season-defining fantasy producer.

Brock Bowers will benefit from an improved offensive line and better quarterbacking, potentially putting up WR1 numbers and defining the fantasy season.
