The 2026 Fantasy Football season is nearly here. With just over three weeks TWO DAYS until the season officially arrives, I present my first Updated Week 1 Fantasy Football Rankings and Tiers.
Even though it’s only Week 1, fantasy managers will need to track crucial news and tough decisions up ’til kickoff. Make sure you have these Week 1 Fantasy Football Rankings (2026) bookmarked to keep everything up to date!
There’s plenty of time between now and Week 1. Still, superstars like Ashton Jeanty, Malik Nabers, Jeremiyah Love, Emeka Egbuka, Mike Evans, George Kittle and Josh Jacobs are genuinely questionable. Others like Christian McCaffrey, Puka Nacua, Zay Flowers, Breece Hall, Jonathan Brooks, and Luther Burden are likely to play, but still need to be monitored.
Note: on the Josh Jacobs front, I have it ranked like he is out and MarShawn Lloyd is starting. I’ll adjust with his hearing bumped up to 9/10, we should know more after then.
Thus, Week 1 Sit/Start decisions may be more difficult than usual– and a strong set of Week 1 Fantasy Football Rankings and tiers are that much more important.
Below, find out who The Wolf ranks higher, lower, and on ECR par with for his Week 1 Fantasy Football Rankings and Tiers, as well as his Hail Mary streamers. He’ll rip through another 2-3 drafts of these rankings, updating regularly while Week 1 Fantasy Football arrives.
Be sure to bookmark these rankings every week, as I will update them with every news & note. As the season arrives, I will announce the schedule for our Week 1 Sit / Start Live Show(s), with at least one locked-in for Sunday, 9/13 @8am. Plus, always hit me up @RotoStreetWolf.
