2026 Preseason Projections: New York Jets
(narrating in a soft, sultry voice)
It was a tough 4-13 finish in 2025 for Cory, who has quietly gone to work this offseason to upend the roster with 11 trades (RFA included) since early March. With the progress report incoming, how does this team shape up in the hyper-competitive AFC East?
2026 Pre-Season Projections: Miami Dolphins
2026 IFL Preseason Projections: Pittsburgh Steelers
It was tank til you drop for Spencer in 2025, culminating in a 1-16 season, SBMOF, and the #1 overall pick. At one point, Spencer had over 30 draft picks in the 2026 offseason, but he ultimately selected 18 rookies. What does the squad look like now for this pre-season progress report? Is the rebuild on track for future success?
2026 Pre-Season Projections: Cleveland Browns
Kyle has one objective every year. Beat Matt into a little goo that you may find on the shores of Lake Mead. He was hard at work like many of his AFC North counterparts, remodeling his team to be a contender for the coveted AFC crown. What does the preseason look like? Has Brown Dot U returned to dominance?

2026 IFL Preseason Projections: Cincinnati Bengals
It was an action-packed offseason for Lee, who went to work after taking over the squad in March. He immediately bolstered the squad, going buck-wild with trades. Offensively, he settled on Drake London from Dave, Bhayshul Tuten from Chittay, and CeeDee Lamb from Brad. By making the team in his image, can this rookie GM shock the IFL world and become a playoff contender?

2026 NFC Mock Draft
This is a very unique draft. Looking at the rookie-ranking landscape, it is as misaligned as ever. People have the top 5-10 players that aren’t in others’ top 20. It’s made this mock extra tricky, but I’ve tried to do my best to provide players who fit potential roster needs, rather than the best player available (BPA), as BPA is so hard to tell!
Now time for my personal thoughts on this year’s class:
It is great at EDGE and LBer. It’s good at WR and S, and it’s bad at QB, RB, and DT. One position I can’t quite get a read on is tight end. Sure, there are the two surefire tight end prospects that’ll go early, but there was a historical amount at the position selected. The 2026 draft saw 22 tight ends selected (most since 2002) and 9 tight ends selected within the first three rounds (tying a 2023 record). There is an incoming wave of 12 and 13 personnel en vouge in the NFL. Will that equate to greater tight end production in fantasy football? Time will tell.

The AFC is in a major state of transition. There’s a new owner who shook things up with trading for the now. Mark and Jason, two signature GMs, have over $200 million in cap space. And we are in line to see a record-breaking 30+ picks selected by SBMOF winner Pittsburgh Spencer.
