Rest-of-season rankings: Dak Prescott down; Isaiah Likely, Chuba Hubbard rise

Each week, Eric Karabell ranks players by position based on their fantasy football value for the rest of the 2026 season. Use the information to optimize the players for their future potential and/or to gauge their value in trade. Eric's top 100 can be found below the positions in this column.

Quarterback

Editor's Picks

Rankings changes: The dysfunctional NFC East is a big story, as Philadelphia Eagles star quarterback Jalen Hurts (calf) is likely to miss the rest of the season, elevating Tanner McKee to full-time starter. It doesn't mean you want McKee in fantasy, and his ranking reflects this. The New York Giants have a controversy, too, but fantasy managers might want to think twice before relying on J.J. McCarthy. As for top-10 movement, Dak Prescott, with four interceptions in two games, leaves the group, as Bryce Young and C.J. Stroud continue their surprising ascensions.

Running back

'Fantasy Focus Football' crew praises Chuba Hubbard's start to the season

Rankings changes: Josh Jacobs is back with the Green Bay Packers, and he moves into the top 20 here. We don't know about initial volume as he debuts, but we should remember Jacobs finished last season with 15.8 fantasy points per game, ninth among qualified running backs. Only 13 running backs are performing better this season. The Packers have offensive line issues, contributing to them ranking last in rushing yards, but Jacobs, with 28 rushing touchdowns during the past two seasons, must help.

There is minor shuffling in the top 10, as Kenneth Walker III continues his push to the top and James Cook III crashes the top five, while Chuba Hubbard and D'Andre Swift push Ashton Jeanty outside the top 10. Woody Marks, J.K. Dobbins, Kendre Miller and Jordan Mason are among other risers, and it is hard to tell what happens next with the Giants, Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Chargers backfields.

Wide receiver

Daniel Dopp implores fantasy managers to pay attention to Germie Bernard

Rankings changes: Injuries are the story here, as Davante Adams (hamstring), Terry McLaurin (knee) and Romeo Doubs (shoulder) all leave the rankings. Perhaps Adams, 33, returns for the fantasy playoffs, but it is tough to count on him doing so. Fantasy managers should place him in their IR slot. Mike Evans (Achilles) falls a bit in the rankings and might remain risky the rest of the season.

Malik Nabers has three consecutive top-10 WR weekly finishes, and he continues his climb toward WR1 status. Matthew Golden continues his rise as well. Former teammates A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith returned to active duty and WR2 status. Rookies Germie Bernard and Carnell Tate warrant WR3 status. Jaylen Waddle, DJ Moore and Ladd McConkey do not. Konata Mumpfield, Antonio Williams, Ja'Kobi Lane and Jordyn Tyson join the rankings.

Tight end

Why Colston Loveland should be a fantasy starter

Rankings changes: As with Nabers, his teammate Isaiah Likely is on quite a statistical run of late, and we cannot ignore it. Likely forces his way into the No. 3 ranking at tight end. Otherwise, there aren't many adjustments here. Hunter Henry and Michael Mayer might be TE1 options soon. Harold Fannin Jr., Jake Ferguson and Mark Andrews are headed in the other direction.
