Everyone watched with bated breath as the biggest game in college football went to overtime in Week 9, and the best school in Virginia walked away with a win -- Go Hokies. In all seriousness, the past two weeks have done a lot to sift through the fantasy football-relevant players for the 2026 NFL draft.
Jeff has already gone through and looked at what the College Football Playoff could look like, and most of his predictions are coming to fruition. Notre Dame just won their last semi-difficult game of the regular season. Oregon, Miami, and Alabama are all well on their way to bids. But more interesting from a fantasy perspective are the storylines around the major players. Kaytron Allen has sent Nicholas Singleton to the shadow realm, Germie Bernard was one missed connection from a 100-yard game and being everyone's favorite draft riser, and the fight for QB1 is a three-man race. Here's a look at the updated big board:
2026 NFL Draft, Superflex Big Board: CFB Week 10
Tier 1: Some are risk-averse; this top tier might be a little risk-seeking for this early in the 2026 NFL draft process. Risk tolerance is something I like to bring up with dynasty quarterbacks, and for anyone drafting before the NFL draft, this group is brutal to stack. LaNorris Sellers has the highest fantasy ceiling of the group, but might not even declare. Fernando Mendoza is a menace from the pocket, but is far from a dual-threat quarterback.
After the draft, whoever goes #1 overall and either #2 or a rushing threat quarterback will shoot into the top tier, and if Sellers declares, he's likely to be the latter. The quarterbacks can be shuffled, but superflex drafts likely include three or four quarterbacks in the top eight. Love and Tyson are the top prospects at their positions early in the process, and the most likely to become the top options in their offense from an all-around skillset.
Tier 2: The quarterbacks in this group have their lumps, but it's easy to see a world where they become a franchise's choice for multiple seasons. Dante Moore went from a spot-starter at UCLA to an injury-shortened season at Oregon and could also go back to school. But if he declares, he's in the conversation for a top-three pick. How much will scouts knock Ty Simpson for his lack of experience and small stature? From the pocket, he's a magician, and he's showing he can get it done in the SEC. Those who want the more sure thing will target Makhai Lemon or Carnell Tate. Both look like threats to go in the top-15 of the 2026 NFL draft and immediate contributors to their NFL teams.
Tier 3: Jonah Coleman might not be the best running back in this draft, but he's certainly a treat to watch. Each of the players from Denzel Boston through Chris Bazzell has their warts, but they also have traits that can make them early NFL contributors and targets in the 2026 NFL draft.
Boston is a monster in contested catch scenarios, but lacks burst in his short and intermediate routes. Coleman can run over a Ford F-150, but if he ever breaks off a 60+ yard run, something went very wrong. Germie Bernard and KC Concepcion might be a little light, but this frame has started working in the NFL a little more recently. Sarratt might not be a Combine warrior, but he's always open. Brazzell might have been built in a lab. He also might be another Tennessee smoke-and-mirrors success. This wide receiver class has put more and more positive tape out each week, and could be the saving grace of the 2026 NFL draft.
Tier 4: Please contact me and tell me who I need to watch more of. There are always gems in the second and third rounds of dynasty drafts. Yes, I wanted to include that player you're thinking about here, but I ran out of room on the board and wanted to fit Hollywood Smothers on there this week. Also, yes, let's move Nyck Harbor to tight end and make him Orande Gadsden with rocket boosters. There are always more players to watch, and more weeks in the college football season, so a leap into the top 15 of dynasty rookie rankings wouldn't be crazy.
