Stars Falling Outside Expectations
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.
New Names Crash the Rankings
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.
