Week 1 Fantasy Rankings 2026

By the StickToTheModel model. Updated September 21, 2026, after Monday night.
Our Week 1 fantasy rankings for 2026 are the top 10 at quarterback, running back, wide receiver and tight end by PPR fantasy points actually scored, with the stat lines. These are real results after the games, not projections; each position links to its full top 40. For what is left of the year, see the rest-of-season rankings.
