The 2026 NFL season is finally here, which means it is time to throw safe projections out the window. Rich Dotson and Garret Price fire off their bold fantasy football predictions before the first games kick off.

Could Derrick Henry finally fall outside the RB1 tier? Rich believes age, workload, and changes along Baltimore's offensive line could finally catch up with one of fantasy football's most reliable running backs.

The wide receiver predictions get even hotter. CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens are both projected to miss WR1 status in one of the episode's biggest swings, while Rashee Rice is predicted to finish outside the top 24.

Not every prediction is negative. Jordan Addison gets a top 18 call as Garret bets on Minnesota's passing attack creating more explosive opportunities.

There are also aggressive predictions for Jonah Coleman, Javonte Williams, DJ Moore, Dalton Kincaid, and several other players who could completely reshape fantasy rankings by the end of 2026.

Dynasty Buys Before Week 1: Get Them Before the Price Jumps

The NFL season is finally here, and some dynasty values could change fast once the games begin. Garret Price and Andrew Mott identify players they want to acquire now before a breakout or increased opportunity sends their price higher.

Denzel Boston had consistent training camp buzz before the attention shifted elsewhere, creating a potential buying window before his role becomes clearer.

TreVeyon Henderson has also fallen significantly in dynasty value despite already showing high-end upside. If his role grows again, that discount may disappear quickly.

Not every target is an unproven player. Garrett Wilson has already produced at a high level, but improved quarterback play could finally push him back toward the top of the position.

The guys also make cases for De'Zhaun Stribling and Jordan Addison, two receivers with clear opportunities to outperform their current dynasty prices once the season gets underway.

2026 Fantasy Football Tight End Rankings: Top 12 Debate

The tight end position finally feels deep again. Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price finish their positional rankings by revealing their top 12 tight ends for 2026.

There is little disagreement at the top. Brock Bowers enters the season with massive expectations and a ceiling that could extend well beyond the tight end position.

Trey McBride and Tyler Warren round out a consensus top three, but after that, the rankings become much harder to predict.

Dalton Kincaid gets one of the most aggressive rankings of the episode after flashing elite efficiency when healthy. George Kittle creates another major debate as the guys weigh enormous target opportunity against his return from injury.

There are even deeper swings. Dallas Goedert gets legitimate top six consideration, while AJ Barner sneaks into one top 12 after emerging as a bigger part of Seattle's offense.

With Kyle Pitts, Colston Loveland, Harold Fannin Jr., Tucker Kraft, and several established veterans all fighting for spots, tight end suddenly looks much deeper than fantasy managers have become accustomed to.

2026 Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Rankings: Top 12 Debate

The NFL season is almost here, which means it is time to lock in the final wide receiver projections. Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price reveal their top 12 receivers for 2026 and debate which stars can challenge for the overall WR1 spot.

Ja'Marr Chase, Puka Nacua, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba separate themselves as the names everyone believes can realistically finish at the top. The order is far from unanimous, though, with questions about offensive efficiency, target volume, and whether last year's production can be repeated.

The bigger disagreements arrive further down the board. Jameson Williams receives a top 10 ranking based on his explosive efficiency and the possibility of another target increase.

Rich takes things even further with Garrett Wilson and Marvin Harrison Jr. inside his top 12. Wilson finally has an opportunity to turn his talent into elite fantasy production, while Harrison becomes a bet on a major third year breakout.

With players like Ladd McConkey, Chris Olave, Nico Collins, and Tetairoa McMillan also fighting for those spots, the WR1 tier could look very different by the end of 2026.

With the NFL season about to begin, dynasty startup values are already shifting. Garret Price and Peter Bartausky jump into a live 12-team superflex, tight end premium dynasty startup mock to see how training camp buzz, preseason performances, and changing positional values are affecting draft boards.

Jahmyr Gibbs goes first overall, allowing Pete to grab Josh Allen at the 1.02. It highlights an important shift in startups as elite running backs and wide receivers begin challenging quarterbacks for the very top selections.

From there, both hosts are forced to adjust as the draft refuses to cooperate with their original plans.

Pete pushes toward a win-now build while Garret repeatedly finds wide receiver value and abandons his usual running back heavy approach.

The biggest lesson is simple: do not force a predetermined roster construction. Take the value the room gives you, recognize tier breaks, and be willing to fix roster weaknesses through trades later.

Predictions season, and this one is not built for shock value. On this episode of the Dynasty Nerds Podcast, Garret Price and Andrew Mott hand out their 2026 awards, the picks they would actually put money on. 🔮

Andrew takes the safe route with Josh Allen, and Garret immediately goes off script with Joe Burrow, betting on a Bengals offense he thinks could go nuclear. At running back it splits between Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs, with James Cook thrown in as a dark horse. Ja'Marr Chase is the unanimous wide receiver one, and Brock Bowers gets the nod at tight end with Tyler Warren lurking.

Jeremiyah Love takes rookie of the year almost by default, and the guys explain why the rest of the class thinned out fast. Then come the busts, where Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert both get called out for very different reasons. Bhayshul Tuten and Jonah Coleman headline the breakouts before the MVP picks land. See how your board compares in the dynasty rankings. 🔥

Few players have created more excitement for Rich than KC Concepcion. His separation, movement skills, versatility, and ability with the ball in his hands have Rich aggressively trying to acquire him before his dynasty value rises further.

The rookie conversation does not stop there. Ashton Jeanty remains a potential workhorse, but an impressive preseason from the backs behind him creates an interesting workload discussion.

The guys also explain why dynasty best ball changes the types of players they target, identify inexpensive running backs contenders can pursue, and discuss why paying premium prices at running back is not always necessary.

Then attention turns toward the future. With the 2027 class finally approaching, several under the radar college prospects join the familiar names dynasty managers have been tracking for years.

2026 Fantasy Football Running Back Rankings: Top 12 Debate

The top of the running back board looks loaded, but agreement disappears quickly once the Dynasty Nerds crew gets past the biggest names. Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price break down their top 12 running backs for 2026 and debate which stars have a real path to finishing as the overall RB1.

Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, and Christian McCaffrey headline the conversation, but the hosts believe De'Von Achane belongs firmly in the mix as well. His receiving usage and explosive ceiling make him one of the most intriguing names near the top of the position.

The easy choices end there. Once the rankings move deeper, roster situations, injuries, workloads, and age create plenty of disagreement.

Cam Skattebo produces one of the biggest debates after landing surprisingly high on one host's board. Javonte Williams also gets serious top 12 consideration, while Jonathan Taylor brings concerns after another massive workload.

The crew also weighs the championship appeal of James Cook, the upside of Omarion Hampton, and several veterans who could either reward fantasy managers or fall outside the elite tier.

The season is nearly here, and this one is not about dynasty value. On this episode of the Dynasty Nerds Podcast, Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price reveal their top 12 quarterbacks for 2026, the guys they think actually carry teams to a championship. 🏆

Everyone assumes Josh Allen is the automatic QB1, and one host takes a calculated swing anyway, putting Joe Burrow at the top and explaining exactly why the Bengals defense makes it work. Jayden Daniels, Lamar Jackson, and Drake Maye fill out the top of the boards, while Patrick Mahomes gets left off a top 12 entirely. Trevor Lawrence gets a passionate defense after a scorching finish to last season.

Malik Willis cracks a top 12 on rushing volume alone, Jaxson Dart splits the room over deep ball accuracy, and Caleb Williams has one host far higher than the rest. Then Justin Herbert takes heat, with two hosts off him entirely and a make or break framing that might change how you value him. Compare the lists to your own dynasty rankings before draft day. 🔥

Andrew plants his flag on Jayden Daniels for a top five finish, arguing the market badly overreacted to an injury riddled year two. Garret counters with Jalen Hurts, and he takes apart every knock one by one, the age narrative, the tush push, and the loss of a certain number one receiver. Then comes the one place these two actually disagree, and it involves Cam Skattebo and the arrival of Najee Harris.

De'Von Achane gets a passionate defense despite the offense around him, Chris Olave draws an irrational buy from Andrew, and Tee Higgins might be the most gettable contending piece in dynasty right now. Emeka Egbuka is pegged for a top 15 finish, and both hosts land on the same tight end: Tyler Warren, with a target projection that will raise eyebrows. Line these up against the dynasty rankings and see who you agree with. 🔥
