2026 Fantasy Football Rankings
Deterministic, formula-driven fantasy football rankings with advanced metrics and AI verdicts... Only on The GNG. Pick a scoring profile and a position board.
Pigskin rankings use position-specific formulas built from advanced multi-year usage and efficiency data, then apply a current-roster safety layer. That means workload, target share, routes, red-zone opportunity, touchdown rate, EPA efficiency, WOPR, YPRR, targets per route, age, availability, injury status, and current depth-chart context all matter. The goal is to rank players by the role and scoring opportunity they are most likely to carry into the season, not simply by last year’s finish.

Allen fully deserves the top spot, dominant with an elite 22.79 average PPR points driven by a high 26.20 opportunity rating and a strong 22.78% carry share that boosts his weekly floor.
Maye earns the number two rank thanks to an outstanding 10.30 average total EPA and a robust 20.70 average PPR, supported by dynamic rushing upside from a 21.20% carry share.
Ranked third, Mahomes pairs supreme efficiency at 13.04 with a 20.41 average PPR. Despite a questionable tag, his high-tier passing floor and 6.78 average total EPA validate this elite position.
Hurts secures rank four on the back of heavy volume, averaging 24.68 opportunities per game. His robust 23.29% carry share easily compensates for a lower 3.19 average total EPA.
At number five, Purdy is highly effective, boasting a superb 16.51 efficiency rating and an 8.81 EPA. This hyper-efficiency offsets a low 11.92% carry share to secure his elite tier status.
Lawrence clinches sixth place by combining a 19.89 average PPR with steady volume. His 21.62 opportunity mark and solid 11.11 efficiency validate his position at the back of the elite tier.
Jones anchors the front-line starter tier at rank seven. A superb 15.70 average efficiency and a helpful 6.26 average total EPA keep him highly competitive despite a questionable injury status.
Nix commands the eighth spot with a well-rounded profile featuring 17.93 average PPR. Rushing contributions via an 18.31% carry share support his fantasy outlook despite carrying a questionable tag.
Williams sits comfortably at rank nine, fueled by a stellar 18.72 average PPR and 22.17 opportunities. His 10.24 efficiency confirms he belongs among the front-line fantasy starters.
Herbert rounds out the top ten with a solid 17.93 average PPR. Steady volume of 20.82 opportunities and a decent 19.16% carry share help mitigate a lower 2.00 average total EPA.

Ranking guide
Pick the scoring profile your league actually uses. Then choose the Overall board or narrow the list by position. The formula establishes the order. The verdict tells you what is driving it.
Standard scoring favors touchdown production and yardage. PPR adds a full point per reception, while Half-PPR splits the difference. GNG Keeper applies the league's custom Sleeper scoring model. A player can move sharply when receptions, tight end production, or positional replacement value changes.
Rank and tier show where a player stands. Projected points describe expected weekly output. Pigskin score captures the formula's wider evaluation, and risk flags identify problems that could pull a player down. The verdict is an explanation, not the ranking engine.
Pigskin AI is a 2026 fantasy football ranking system built from deterministic, position-specific formulas. It combines multi-year usage and efficiency data with current role, availability, and depth-chart context. Plain-language AI verdicts explain the formula results.
The page includes Standard, PPR, Half-PPR, and GNG Keeper scoring profiles. GNG Keeper uses the league's custom scoring formula.
Each scoring profile includes an Overall Top 100 plus separate QB, RB, WR, and TE boards.
Position-specific formulas evaluate workload, target share, routes, red-zone opportunity, touchdown rate, EPA efficiency, WOPR, YPRR, age, injuries, availability, and current depth-chart context. The formula sets the ranking. The AI verdict explains the result in readable terms.
The board-generation timestamp identifies the source version currently displayed. When Pigskin AI publishes a changed scoring profile, the site verifies the source checksum before replacing that board.
Start with the scoring profile used by your league, then select Overall or a position. Compare rank and tier first. Use projected points, Pigskin score, risk flags, and the verdict to understand why players are separated.
