64 players ranked · FFPC scoring · Updated
Past week — Week 7 is current.
Week 1 baseline. No 2026 games have been played yet, so these rankings are built from current depth charts, last season's usage, and Vegas Week 1 totals — not from observed play. They are replaced by the full usage model once Week 1 is complete.
Colston Loveland of CHI is the number one TE in Week 1 FFPC scoring on the road against CAR, in a game where his offense is implied for 24.8 points, projected for 14.5 points. 2 TEs sit in tiers 1 and 2 combined, and those are the ones you start without thinking.
