About this listen

Listeners, with the 2025 fantasy football season wrapped up, the buzz over the last few days centers on early 2026 rankings and playoff injuries shaking up next year's drafts. Sports Illustrated ranks Ja'Marr Chase as the top wide receiver for 2026, citing his WR4 finish in 2025 despite Bengals' struggles, banking on a healthy Joe Burrow to put him back on top. Puka Nacua sits right behind him in the top five, highlighting elite WR stability for your rosters.

ESPN's Mike Clay dropped updated PPR rankings on January 5, with ongoing tweaks for free agency and the draft, while CBS Sports unveiled way-too-early top-24 overall picks, slotting Christian McBride as the consensus number one tight end after dominating 2025 with over 100 more PPR points than anyone else. RotoBaller and others echo tiered redraft lists, praising running backs like Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs ahead of top WRs for projected upside.

Injuries from wild-card games are the big shakeup. RotoWire reports Bills WR Amari Cooper had a minor finger sprain but is fine, while teammate Khalil Shakir faces an MRI for a knee issue after exiting on crutches versus the Jaguars. George Kittle tore his Achilles in the 49ers' win over the Eagles, per NFL Network, sidelining him long-term and tanking his early rankings. Draft Sharks notes lingering concerns like Lamar Jackson's back contusion and hamstring, potentially limiting his rushing next year, plus Javonte Williams' shoulder stinger and Jaylen Waddle's rib tweak.

RotoBaller adds offseason chatter: Jets want to re-sign Breece Hall, Colts plan to bring back Daniel Jones post-Achilles despite his history, and Steelers view Aaron Rodgers' 2025 as a success, open to his 2026 return. FantasyPros experts flag Josh Jacobs as a fade risk at 28 with a big cap hit in Green Bay.
