Welcome to our continued series ranking the top fantasy football offenses for 2026!

Each of the past three weeks, we ranked the bottom 24 teams for fantasy football. If you missed those three articles, be sure to check our Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3. We also identified one sleeper for each of those teams.

Here’s a quick glance at the bottom 24 teams:

  1. 49ers

  2. Falcons

  3. Chargers

  4. Bills

  5. Ravens

  6. Chiefs

  7. Giants

  8. Packers

  9. Broncos

  10. Jaguars

  11. Raiders

  12. Saints

  13. Buccaneers

  14. Colts

  15. Jets

  16. Texans

  17. Steelers

  18. Seahawks

  19. Commanders

  20. Vikings

  21. Dolphins

  22. Panthers

  23. Browns

  24. Titans

In Part 4, we're ranking teams No. 8 through No. 1. As a reminder, we are using the average draft position from the National Fantasy Football Championship (NFFC) leagues since those leagues are actively drafting right now.

8. Philadelphia Eagles

Number of Top-60 Fantasy Players: 2

Number of Top-100 Fantasy Players: 4

Reasoning for Ranking: The Eagles have two players going inside the top-60 (Saquon Barkley and DeVonta Smith), and another two players (Jalen Hurts and Makai Lemon) have a top-100 ADP. That gives Philadelphia four potential elite fantasy options.

Sleeper: Dallas Goedert

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert is coming off the best fantasy season of his career. He finished as the TE4 in half-PPR formats while averaging 10.3 half-PPR fantasy points per game.

Goedert was a reliable TE1 last year, and the Eagles just traded away their top playmaker in A.J. Brown this offseason. Although some touchdown regression is likely headed his way after scoring 11 times last year, he should remain a key part of this Philadelphia passing attack. The 31-year-old ranked top-10 in both red zone target share, fantasy points per route run, and fantasy points per target among all TEs in 2025.

Sleeper ADP: 109.1

WalterPicks rank: TE14 (ceiling: TE4)

7. New England Patriots

Number of Top-60 Fantasy Players: 3

Number of Top-100 Fantasy Players: 4

Reasoning for Ranking: The Patriots have three players going inside the top-60 (A.J. Brown, TreVeyon Henderson, and Drake Maye) and one inside the top-100 (Rhamondre Stevenson). With three players having a top-55 ADP, New England gets the edge over the Eagles.

Sleeper: Romeo Doubs

New England Patriots wide receiver Romeo Doubs might be overlooked in fantasy because of the addition of Brown. Brown is expected to lead this New England passing attack and be the alpha in the receiving game. But Doubs will get his opportunities through the air as well.

The Patriots signed him to a four-year, $68 million deal in free agency, and his 2025 advanced metrics suggest that he should be a big part of New England’s offense. Doubs ranked top-25 among all WRs in both fantasy points per route and fantasy points per target. Being locked as the WR2 in a really good offense should help him emerge as a fantasy low-end WR3.

Sleeper ADP: 115.4

WalterPicks rank: WR60 (ceiling: WR19)

6. Arizona Cardinals

Number of Top-60 Fantasy Players: 2

Number of Top-60 Fantasy Players: 4

Reasoning for Ranking: The Cardinals have two players (Trey McBride and Jeremiyah Love) going inside the top-60 and two more players (Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson) going inside the top-100. The Cardinals get the nod over the two teams behind them because both McBride (22.1 ADP) and Love (24.3 ADP) have a top-25 ADP.

Sleeper: Tyler Allgeier

Although the Cardinals selected Jeremiyah Love with the third overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the expectation is that Tyler Allgeier will still be involved in this offense. He signed a two-year deal with the team in free agency and could see consistent work throughout the year.

Allgeier might not have much standalone value if both Love and James Conner are both healthy. However, he’s a nice high-upside handcuff in the middle-to-later rounds. If Love ever misses time, Allgeier should be the biggest beneficiary in this offense. He would go from unstartable to a potential solid RB2 option. That type of upside is why he’s a sleeper at his ADP.

Sleeper ADP: 134.3

WalterPicks rank: RB47 (ceiling: RB38)

5. Dallas Cowboys

Number of Top-60 Fantasy Players: 3

Number of Top-100 Fantasy Players: 4

Reasoning for Ranking: The Cowboys have three players going inside the top-60 (CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Javonte Williams) and one more going inside the top-100 (Dak Prescott). The Cowboys’ foursome having a lower combined ADP than both the Patriots and Cardinals is why they are ranked No. 5.

Sleeper: Jake Ferguson

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson will enter the season as the third option in the passing game. CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens will be the top-2 options in Dallas’ offense, and Ferguson will get some of the leftovers. Those leftovers, though, should be enough to make him a weekly TE1 option.

The 27-year-old pass-catcher just finished as the overall TE5 in PPR formats last year. He averaged 11.1 PPR fantasy points per game and caught 82 passes for 600 yards and eight touchdowns. Expect solid fantasy production again for Ferguson on a Cowboys offense that threw the third-most in the NFL in 2025. He should remain a red-zone target as well after ranking as the TE2 in red zone target share.

Sleeper ADP: 104

WalterPicks rank: TE12 (ceiling: TE4)

4. Chicago Bears

Number of Top-60 Fantasy Players: 4

Number of Top-100 Fantasy Players: 6

Reasoning for Ranking: The Bears have four players going inside the top-60 (4) and have the most overall players going inside the top-100 (6). Luther Burden III (45.5 ADP), Colston Loveland (45.9 ADP), D’Andre Swift (54.5 ADP), Rome Odunze (59.6 ADP), Caleb Williams (72.6 ADP), and Kyle Monangai (91.6 ADP) are all top picks.

Sleeper: Cairo Santos

Considering more than half of the Bears offense is going inside the top-100 in drafts, there aren’t any sleepers on this team. If you’re looking for one, Cairo Santos could be a sneaky kicker selection with your last pick.

Santos scored at least eight fantasy points in eight of his last 11 games (excluding Week 18). He went a perfect 39-for-39 on extra points and made 25-of-30 field goal attempts. The Bears kicker should be a safe pick in drafts because of how often Chicago should drive down the field.

Sleeper ADP: N/A

WalterPicks rank: K21 (ceiling: K4)

3. Los Angeles Rams

Number of Top-60 Fantasy Players: 3

Number of Top-100 Fantasy Players: 4

Reasoning for Ranking: The Rams have four total players going inside the top-100 in drafts. Three of those players (Puka Nacua, Kyren Williams, and Davante Adams) have a top-60 ADP, and the other player (Matthew Stafford) has an ADP between 65 and 100.

Sleeper: Blake Corum

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum really came on strongly toward the end of the 2025 season. He averaged 12.7 PPR fantasy points over the final six weeks of the regular season and saw double-digit carries in four of those contests.

Even though Kyren Williams will still be the lead back in this offense, Corum will see his fair share of opportunities. The Athletic recently reported that this backfield could be a near 50/50 split this year. If that’s the case, Corum could have weekly standalone value. He ranked top-6 among all RBs in both explosive rating and true yards per carry in 2025.

Sleeper ADP: 100.2

WalterPicks rank: RB34 (ceiling: RB14)

2. Detroit Lions

Number of Top-60 Fantasy Players: 3

Number of Top-100 Fantasy Players: 5

Reasoning for Ranking: The Lions have three players going inside the top-60 (Jahmyr Gibbs, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Jameson Williams) and two more going inside the top-100 (Sam LaPorta and Jared Goff). Having Gibbs (1.7 ADP) and St. Brown (7.6 ADP) is why Detroit ranks No. 2

Sleeper: Jake Bates

We have another kicker sleeper on our hands. Jake Bates has been an extremely steady kicker option since entering the league in 2024. He finished as the K8 in 2024 and as the K9 in 2025.

Considering how often the Lions move the ball down the field, Bates is a top kicker selection in fantasy drafts. He went 54-for-56 on extra points and 27-for-34 on field goals last season. The 27-year-old has also gone 10-for-17 on kicks from beyond 50 yards.

Sleeper ADP: N/A

WalterPicks rank: K9 (ceiling: K1)

1. Cincinnati Bengals

Number of Top-60 Fantasy Players: 4

Number of Top-100 Fantasy Players: 4

Reasoning for Ranking: The Bengals are the No. 1 team for fantasy football. It was a tough decision between the Bengals and Lions, but having four players (Ja’Marr Chase, Chase Brown, Tee Higgins, and Joe Burrow) going inside the top-55 gives them the top spot.

Sleeper: Andrei Iosivas

The only real sleeper on this Bengals team is Andrei Iosivas. He will operate as the WR3 in this Cincinnati offense again in 2026. In this role last year, Iosivas caught 33 passes for 435 yards and two touchdowns.

The only time that Iosivas will have some standalone value is if Tee Higgins or Ja’Marr Chase misses any time. Iosivas scored 10.6 PPR fantasy points when Chase missed in a Week 12 game last season and scored 9.9 PPR fantasy points when Higgins missed the following week. He’s a dart-throw in really deep leagues.

Sleeper ADP: N/A

WalterPicks rank: WR87 (ceiling: WR66)
