20 NFL Training Camp Winners & Losers ('26 Fantasy Football)

Bijan Robinson is considered a top-tier running back option, with Luther Burden explicitly stating he is targeting him at the top of drafts.

Caleb Douglas is a deep league target to monitor; he has positive training camp buzz, decent size, and is expected to see significant playing time as a third-round rookie.

Luther Burden labels Chig Okonkwo a fantasy loser, noting that the argument for him serving as the team's number two target has effectively ended following the arrival of Stefon Diggs and the established role of Terry McLaurin.

Chris Olave is a high-confidence, easy draft pick for fantasy managers. Luther Burden highlights his proven high-volume production from last year, which serves as a solid baseline, including over 100 catches and 150 targets.

Despite being considered an older player by NFL standards, Christian McCaffrey remains a high-level contributor for the 49ers.

Christian Watson is in a great spot following his offseason contract extension. He currently holds a late fifth-round ADP in formats like FFPC and is considered a strong value pick.

Deebo Samuel is seeing positive buzz and rising ADP, currently steaming into the 11th round of drafts; beat reporters note he looks leaner and in good shape, benefiting from his familiarity with Kyle Shanahan and Brock Purdy.

Denzel Boston is a high-priority sleeper for Theo Greminger, who is consistently drafting him in the 15th-16th round. Beat reporters have identified Boston and Casey Concepcion as the two best wide receivers at camp by a clear margin, casting doubt on the idea that Jerry Jeudy will limit the rookies' playing time. His training camp buzz suggests his current price will look cheap by late August.

DeVonta Smith is locked in as the clear WR1 for the Eagles. He is expected to receive alpha-level usage, and there is high confidence in his production based on established splits without A.J. Brown and his chemistry with Jalen Hurts.

Dontayvion Wicks is a player to monitor in very deep formats. Every week that Mekhi Lemon misses due to injury provides Wicks with an opportunity to establish a role in the Eagles' offense.

Elijah Mitchell remains a late-round target (16th-17th round) but is currently in a battle with Omar Cooper for a spot in the target hierarchy.

Garrett Wilson is projected to command a 30% plus target share, with positive camp drumbeats suggesting he will return value this season.

Harold Fannin Jr. is highlighted as a player to target within the current offensive scheme.

Isaiah Bond is being heavily featured in the offense during training camp, though he may primarily serve as a speed-based, deep-threat receiver.

Jacobi Lane is a third-round rookie in Baltimore receiving high praise, with comparisons to Michael Thomas; he is in a position to compete for the WR2 role due to his size and athletic ability.

Luther Burden is targeting Jahmyr Gibbs at the top of drafts, viewing him as a top-tier running back option.

Luther Burden has moved Jayden Daniels up in his rankings following the signing of Stefon Diggs. Daniels is now viewed as a strong post-hype sleeper in the eighth round, supported by his best receiving corps to date, which includes Terry McLaurin, Diggs, and Antonio Williams.

Jayden Higgins is a post-hype sleeper candidate receiving significant training camp buzz; he is projected as the number two target in Houston with potential to reach 100 targets and beat his WR52 ADP.

Jonathan Taylor is a strong value pick when he falls to the 10-12 range in drafts; he is 27 years old and has historical precedent for 27-year-old backs finishing as the overall RB1.

Jordan Addison is a training camp riser and a bargain seventh-round pick in competitive formats. Luther Burden notes his immense talent as a former top-10 draft pick and suggests the Kellen Moore offense in its second year, paired with Tyler Shuck's development, could lead to a more reliable passing game.

Josh Downs is set for a full-time role, with Shane Steichen confirming he will be on the field in two-receiver sets. He is poised to compete for the team lead in targets, though a potential signing of Keenan Allen could complicate his path to value.

Luther Burden is a major breakout candidate whose ADP is rising into the WR20-22 range, with some drafts seeing him go in the third round. Ben Johnson has praised his competitive edge and physical play style, comparing his potential to Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jarvis Landry. Burden benefits from vacated targets following the departures of DJ Moore and Olamide Zaccheaus, and he previously ranked among the NFL leaders in yards per route run.

Malik Nabers is crushing injury expectations and is considered one of the biggest winners of early training camp. His ADP is currently undergoing a correction as drafters react to his positive health status.

Beat reporters indicate Malik Washington is clearly the number one wide receiver for the Dolphins and will be heavily utilized, making him a viable best ball target in the 17th or 18th round.

Malik Willis is a viable late-round dart throw in the QB21-24 range, specifically for best ball formats. He offers rushing production upside, making him a useful pairing with another quarterback to capitalize on his potential spike weeks. Additionally, he can be used as a stack option to build correlation with Malik Washington.

Omar Cooper Jr. is the primary beneficiary of Kanyon Sedeek's injury, receiving positive training camp buzz and offering YAC ability that may rival or exceed Sedeek's.

Omarion Hampton is a high-growth running back and a clear touchdown producer in the Los Angeles offense. Despite a high ADP, he is an easy target due to strong coaching staff praise, including specific comments from Mike McDaniel regarding his growth, and his proven receiving efficiency from last year.

Omarian Hampton is considered an easy bet to make as the primary touchdown producer in a potentially explosive Los Angeles offense. Despite high ADP, he has strong support from beat reporters and coaching staff, including specific praise from Mike McDaniel regarding his growth. He demonstrated high-level receiving efficiency last year and remains a strong fantasy asset even with Keaton Mitchell and Camani Vidal in the mix.

Theo Greminger highlights Quez Watkins as a training camp standout who has exceeded injury expectations and is now projected by running backs coach Duce Staley to serve as a three-down workhorse. Despite concerns regarding the Browns' quarterback situation, Watkins' role appears secure, and he is currently being drafted around RB20 in ADP. Dillon Sampson is viewed as a contingent upside player rather than a primary threat to Watkins' workload.

Travis Etienne's ADP is trending downward, falling behind players like Cam Akers, Javonte Williams, and Josh Jacobs. Luther Burden cites the presence of Alvin Kamara—who received a contract extension and continues to take first-team reps—as a major factor that limits Etienne's receiving upside and overall fantasy ceiling.

Tucker Kraft has been activated from the PUP list and is trending confidently toward playing in Week 1. Despite missing time last year, he averaged 14.7 PPR points per game and is currently being drafted as a TE5 to TE8, offering significant value.

Zay Flowers is a high-value target in the 3rd or 4th round following a massive contract extension. He is projected for a career year with potential to increase his target share from near 30% to 33% in the current offense. His outlook is bolstered by positive touchdown regression, end-zone target potential under Declan Doyle, and established chemistry with Lamar Jackson.
