NFL Nation reporters answer key fantasy football questions for 25 teams ahead of the 2026 season, covering position battles, injury returns, rookie impacts, and bounce-back candidates.

For the Arizona Cardinals, Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson are about 50-50 in production, with Jacoby Brissett likely targeting Harrison first but Wilson coming off 1,006 yards. The Baltimore Ravens expect Lamar Jackson to run more than last season, though not at his 2018-2023 pace, with new coordinator Declan Doyle varying designed runs.

The Buffalo Bills see DJ Moore poised to break the team's receiving slump, with Josh Allen emphasizing getting him the ball early and often. The Carolina Panthers may lean on Jonathon Brooks more due to Chuba Hubbard's hamstring injury, especially in third-down work.

Chicago Bears anticipate a different leading receiver weekly, with Colston Loveland likely top target, while Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III contribute. The Denver Broncos plan a backfield split among J.K. Dobbins, Jonah Coleman, and RJ Harvey, making it hard for one player to emerge.
