Yahoo Sports publishes consensus fantasy rankings for 2026 NFL Week 1

Yahoo Sports has published its consensus fantasy football rankings for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season, offering projections across positions ahead of the campaign’s opening round.

The rankings combine the views of Yahoo analysts Matt Harmon, Justin Boone, Joel Smyth, Scott Pianowski and Hayden Winks.

Yahoo said the rankings use half-point-per-reception scoring, commonly known as half-PPR. The format is the default scoring system used by Yahoo for its fantasy football coverage.

The publication places the rankings against an off-season marked by the arrival of a new rookie class, player movement through free agency and trades, and changes among coaching staffs.

The 2026 season opener is framed as a meeting between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots. The supplied material does not include the individual player rankings or their positional order.
