2026 League Power Rankings

(Nothing in this post was created using any sort of generative AI)

We are back with everyone's favourite off season article, the League Voted Power Rankings. Everyone in the league filled out a survey in which they voted on how likely each team is to win the championship this season.

And this season, we have a new top voted team...

1. Browns, Romans, Jeantymen: 8.9/10

A massively improved score as this team jumped up from 6.4 and 6th in last season's power rankings, to a whopping 8.9 and 1st this year. The team is led by a three headed monster in Bijan Robinson, Ashton Jeanty, and Amon-Ra St. Brown who look to try and not just make the playoffs for the first time, but win the championship. The team isn't just scary at the top, the rest of the starters can win weeks on their own. Nico Collins, Kenneth Walker, Harold Fannin, and Rome Odunze are all plus starters in their spot of the lineup. As one owner said "the addition of Nico Collins makes this team really dangerous."

And the QB spot will be filled by Joe Burrow or Baker Mayfield whoever is playing better. The starters are certainly fantastic, and the bench is up there as well, but not as flashy. Corum, Dobbins, Charbonnet, and Sampson are all valuable handcuffs that have high ceilings if they were to be the starters. DK Metcalf highlights the WR depth, but Matthew Golden, Germie Bernard, Deebo Samuel, and Chris Godwin can all be spot starts during bye weeks. Lastly, Sam LaPorta might be the best backup tight end in the league. This team is stacked up from top to bottom, and everyone in the league agrees that they are due for a big season.

2. Tony Dorset: 8.1/10

The former champs and last year's runner up is actually placed just higher than the current reigning champs (wonder what that says about the champs...). While the difference is very close, a difference of one tenth, Tony Dorset absolutely belongs near the top of the power rankings. This organization had the number 1 receiver last year in Puka Nacua, and was gifted the WR6 before the season in Chris Olave (had to give away CD Lamb but still). These two should have another great season for this franchise giving them two certified cornerstones (as long as they stay healthy). At running back they have another cornerstone in Jahmyr Gibbs who is the current number 1 pick in the redraft format, giving this team 3 legit fantasy stars. Additionally, they have Omarion Hampton and Treveyon Henderson as two promising young running backs that can hopefully take a step forward this year, along with Saquon Barkley, an elite veteran that can still put up 1300 rushing yards if he's used correctly.

The starting lineup is elite with Colston Loveland or George Kittle at TE, and either Jaxson Dart, Malik Willis, or Tyler Shough at the QB spot. The QB spot could be argued as the only weakness in the starting lineup and I could agree, but if Shough and Dart just feed their best players they should be fine. The bench has plenty of guys that can be put into the lineup if needed giving the team good depth. Tony Dorset should be one of the main contenders for the championship this season, and they have a great squad to it.

3. Boston a Nut on your Tuddies: 8/10

The reigning champions might be a little underrated in my opinion based on this survey. While I picked them as the best team in the league (gave them a 10 on the scale), they got one vote as low as 5!! All the other votes were in the 7-10 range though. The team is highlighted by their top two studs in Jamarr Chase and Devon Achane. The rest of the lineup can definitely compete against the other heavy hitters. James Cook and AJ Brown are elite players that should continue to get fed the ball. DJ Moore and Terry McLaurin are on the lower end but Moore is in a better situation and should eat a little more, while Terry should have a better year back with his QB. The lineup is rounded out with Travis Kelce at TE and Caleb Williams at QB. This might not sound as good of a lineup as the other two, but this team is built a little more around their depth than the star power and it worked last season. Being able to start Emeka Egbuka, Wandale Robinson, and AJ Barner last season is what propelled this team to win it all. The biggest knock on this team is that they won't have Garrett Wilson after trading him away in the offseason.

If you are doubting this team I can certainly understand, but let me put it to you this way. This team won it all without Garrett Wilson. Now, they have the same team but added Terry Mclaurin and Rico Dowdle for depth. That makes last year's team stronger. I still like this team to win it again.

4. Njigbas in Paris: 7.8/10

   

I think this team might lose a point or two after the Josh Jacobs news haha. Aside from that, Nijgas in Paris is the last of the teams I would put into the "true contender" tier in this league. The team is led by Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Drake London, Breece Hall, and Trey McBride. Just such a good group of guys to build a team around. Alongside them, the talent falls off a little as D'Andre Swift, Christian Watson, and Rashee Rice fill out the rest of the starting lineup (Josh Jacobs would be in there if not for his criminal proceedings). I mean the drop off is kind of in name value only, Swift and Watson were quite good down the stretch last season, and Rice was also good but has tainted his name similarly to Jacobs. This team is also hoping that some of the younger players can step up and fill in some weeks or even turn into every week starters. Couple candidates for that would be Jonathon Brooks and Chris Bell. Additionally, Mike Evans currently sits on this team's bench but seems like the only wide receiver on the 49ers that could consistently produce. This team might not have the elite depth like some of the other top end teams, but their stars are just as good, giving them a good shot at the championship.

5. PooShiesty9: 6.4/10

   

I'm not sure why I feel so low on this team year after year. I picked them to miss the playoffs last year, and might pick them again. The team is quite good. Several notable players like Lamar Jackson, Justin Jefferson, Derrick Henry, Kyren Williams, Brock Bowers, and Travis Etienne, make the starting lineup quite dangerous on any given week. David Montgomery should be a 1st down monster on the Texans and Luther Burden is poised for a big breakout this season making the starters even more lethal. I think the depth is what really holds this team back. When the byes start hitting and maybe some injuries, this team doesn't have many players that you feel good about starting. I still believe in Marv to be a good receiver in this league, but after him, do you feel good about starting Tre Tucker? Pat Bryant? Jerry Jeudy? Dallas Goedert? Skyler Bell? You don't feel good at all about starting any of them (maybe De'Zahun Stribling because the 49ers have such an injured squad). The team should still make the playoffs because the starters are really good, but I worry about their depth holding them back.

6. CMC Revenge Year: 6.2/10

   

This team snuck into the playoffs last season with a 7-7 record, but suffered a first round loss to Tony Dorset. In the offseason they drafted two really promising prospects in Jadarian Price and Eli Stowers (although Stowers has not had a good training camp) to really boost their roster but rookies can only do so much. The team is highlighted by their running back duo of Christian McCaffrey and Jonathan Taylor and recent breakout QB Drake Maye. The starting WRs are a little on the lower end but Ladd McConkey and Davante Adams is a respectable duo to have. Brian Thomas Jr. had a really promising rookie year but took a step back last season, and there is plenty of uncertainty around who will be the main wide receiver in Jacksonville. This is another team with good depth but not enough stars, as their bench has plenty of startable players. Jadarian Price, RJ Harvey, Courtland Sutton, Michael Pittman, and Jordan Addison are all players that can fill in multiple weeks if needed giving the team good flexibility. The league seems to agree with my assessment that the team lacks some star power with one owner describing the team with "Good depth but not enough stars." Maybe at some point they'll try to cash in some pieces and picks to upgrade some players into stars.

7. ACee/DeeC: 4.8/10

Obviously everyone voted way too low on this team, and that's without any bias involved. But in all seriousness, this team had a small jump from last season going from 3.4 to 4.8 a solid increase year over year. The team is highlighted by a great WR trio starring CeeDee Lamb, Malik Nabers, and Garrett Wilson. The RB room features Quinshon Judkins, a young promising player, but everyone else faces serious questions or a limited ceiling. Bayshul Tuten and Chuba Hubbard both have questions about their workload entering the season, and Tony Pollard has a very low ceiling. Jordan Love is also a below average QB to have in fantasy, giving this team three total below average positions with Jake Ferguson starting at TE. The team is really being carried by the WR group, with every other position lagging behind. If this team really wants to compete, they'll need to drastically improve every other position, but could win a few games and spoil someone's playoff hopes.

8. Mahomies over Mahoes: 4.6/10

An increase in votes and rank since the last season, but it might not have been enough for a team that made the playoffs last season. After the first round exit in their first playoff appearance, the Mahomies franchise added several first round rookies that should be very impactful for them. Carnell Tate, Makai Lemon, and Kenyon Sadiq should all be very productive for this team for years to come. The Mahomies are led by George Pickens and Chase Brown as their two stars with tons of depth. Tee Higgins, Michael Wilson, Ricky Pearsall (not healthy), Quinten Johnston, Jaylen Warren, Tyjae Spears, and Cade Otton are all startable several weeks a year. The best part for this team is not their good depth, but their draft picks. Even after 3 first round picks last season, they still have 4 firsts over the next 3 years to help improve their roster via trade for draft. The Mahomies might be underrated heading into the 2026 season after making the playoffs last year and adding 3 first round rookies.

9. Cokehead: 4.1/10

The Cokeheads dropped a little from last year from a 5 to a 4.1 this year which made them drop two spots in the league as well. The Cokeheads have trended down every single season since the league's inception going from runner up, to losing 3rd place game, to missing the playoffs. The team is highlighted by Josh Allen, easily the best fantasy quarterback in the league is a big plus. The starting lineup is solid, Bucky Irving, Javonte Williams, Zay Flowers, and Devonta Smith creating a good core of players, with Kraft being a top TE when healthy. Parker Washington was a great add off waivers last season, but there is still questions about who the main guy in Jacksonville will be. Could be Parker, could be BTJ, could be Meyers. One owner believes "the lack of star power will hold this team back," talking about the bench players. They seem to not be a fan of Jalen Coker, Tyrone Tracy, Jakobi Meyers, Elic Ayomanor, Romeo Doubs, and Mark Andrews as depth pieces. The team should be looking forward to Antonio Williams and Omar Cooper Jr. being at the least good depth pieces for the team and maybe even more in the future. The league seems to be low on this team considering their lack of star power as one owner put it, but there is a path to being good this season.

10. Skattebeast: 2.9/10

Simply not a surprise for this team to be ranked down here considering their previous season. An 0-14 season is not going to get you many votes, and this is only barely worse than the bottom team last year (Robert got a 3.4 avg last year). The team might be lowly rated, but I personally don't think the team is that bad. Jayden Daniels is a great QB (not bias there at all), Jeremiyah Love and Cam Skattebo are both good young promising running backs, Tetairoa McMillan is a great young wide receiver and pairs well with Jaylen Waddle, and Tyler Warren is a great young TE. There are certainly good pieces on this team, they just haven't fully flourished and that is what holds this team back. Not just that, but the depth could always use some work. Rhamondre Stevenson is solid for fill in weeks, but isn't great as an every week flex player. Nearly all the RBs on their bench are handcuffs and that can be great if they get to be the starter, but not great if they just sit there and get 4 points every week. Love and Concepcion are two very good rookies and should help get this team back to relevancy, but it might take them some time. For now, they are rated as the least likely to win the championship this year.
