1st place FantasyPros rank 2021-2023
3rd Place Ranking 2022.
Favorite time is draft season and scouting
@GuruFantasyWrld I'm going to go contrarian to every one of these except Hurts. I see what you are saying with avoiding these receivers with lower passing volume
Chuba Hubbard (RB – CAR)
“Chuba Hubbard was quietly the biggest winner winner of the off-season at the running back position by losing his competition and gaining a ton of help in the off-season. His only competition now has had single digit rushes in the last 2 years for 2.2 YPC and is recovering from the 2nd ACL tear in his right knee alone. Hubbard had a top-8 offensive line in run blocking last year and now adds a 1st round OT, the Packers left tackle, the 17th ranked center (PFF), and several key defensive pieces which should create many run-heavy game scripts. Hubbard suffered a calf injury after the 4th game last year but was on pace for over 1300 yards in that small sample size. This follows up the 1300+ yard season he had the year before which shows he can produce when given the opportunity. ”

The NFL’s most explosive designed-run play callers entering 2026
Todd Monken, Ben Johnson and Mike McDaniel sit at the top by career 10+ yard designed-run rate.
These are early rankings just made from scratch without looking at outside rankings. This bakes in all off-season changes, expected progression of young players, and changes in coaching. Still going through to make sure total play volumes match expectations and double check
Since 2022, the "McShanahan" coaching tree plus Ben Johnson have produced 50% of flex-eligible league winners (by ESPN playoff rate).
It may not feel like it, but far fewer than 50% of the NFL has played for such a team over this span. Notable overperformance.
Getting to the end of projections and just doing the numbers without using bias. Some players that pop where I thought: "There is no way it's this high"
QB: Lawrence, Dart, Murray
RB: Barkley, Achane, Skattebo, Irving, Rodriguez
WR: AJ Brown, Flowers, McConkey, DJ Moore, Godwin, Pearsall
TE: LaPorta, Juwan Johnson, Strange, Likely
