2026 Best Ball Draft: Stefan Diggs to Washington + Live From the 1.02

Raymond Summerlin and Rich Hribar draft a best ball team live from the number two pick, covering 2026 fantasy football ADP, best ball strategy, roster construction and the Stefan Diggs signing. Get $20 off the fantasy football bundle with promo code BUNDLE20: https://www.sharpfootballanalysis.com/ Stefan Diggs is signing with the Washington Commanders, and the guys open by working through what it means for Terry McLaurin, Jayden Daniels, Chig Okonkwo and the late-round tight end market, plus why Deebo Samuel's move back into a familiar system is more interesting than the efficiency numbers suggest. Then it is a live draft from the 2 spot. Bijan Robinson comes off the board first, the back half of round one turns into an RB-RB pile-up, and the team ends up with seven running backs, two Cardinals by accident, and a tight end room the guys openly call their weakest position. What You'll Learn: • What Stefan Diggs to Washington does to Terry McLaurin, Jayden Daniels and the late-round tight end crowd • Why the back half of round one has become RB-RB no matter which site you draft on • Rashee Rice, touchdown regression, and the red zone numbers behind the call • David Montgomery and the prototypical dead zone running back profile • The Colston Loveland bet, and what the team would have looked like if Brock Bowers fell one more spot • The full roster recap, and Malik Nabers' fantasy playoff schedule Chapters: 0:00 Cold open 0:18 Weekly live drafts through August 1:27 The Fantasy Draft Kit 2:24 Breaking: Stefan Diggs signs with Washington 2:59 What it means for McLaurin, Daniels and Okonkwo 5:41 Deebo Samuel back in a familiar system 7:21 The draft begins, on the clock at pick 2 10:02 Why the back half of round 1 turned into RB-RB 12:10 Rashee Rice and touchdown regression 14:20 David Montgomery and the dead zone profile 18:01 Marvin Harrison Jr. and the receiver run 21:53 Xavier Worthy, Jordan Addison and the WR3 tier 26:13 Deebo over Dobbs, and hunting a second QB 28:18 C.J.

2026 QB Tiers: Every NFL Starting Quarterback, Ranked

Warren Sharp ranks every NFL starting quarterback into tiers for 2026, covering all 32 teams, NFL QB rankings, quarterback tiers, betting futures and fantasy football draft value. Get the 2026 Football Preview Book, 619 full color pages on all 32 teams. Use code SHARPQB to save $10 on the PDF: https://www.sharpfootballanalysis.com/warren-sharp-book-nfl-football-preview/ Training camps are open, so Warren Sharp puts every starting quarterback in the NFL on one board and sorts them into five tiers, from "we can win the Super Bowl because of you" down to "we need to replace you." This is not a career ranking. It is a 2026 ranking: the quarterback, the coaching staff, and the talent around him, judged for this season only. Warren goes team by team from Arizona to Washington with the numbers behind every call. Some of the placements that will start arguments: Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen land in different tiers, Justin Herbert sits in tier three, Bryce Young is placed below Jacoby Brissett, Sam Darnold does not crack tier two, and Bo Nix does. What You'll Learn: • Why "win playoff games because of you" and "win playoff games in spite of you" are two different tiers • Why Jacoby Brissett is better than the league thinks, above average across the board among 45 qualifying quarterbacks • The Justin Herbert verdict: elite talent, tier three placement, and what has to change • Drake Maye vs Jayden Daniels, and how roster building rather than talent separated the same draft class • The full tier board at the end, including where Kirk Cousins and Shedeur Sanders shake out Chapters: 0:00 The five QB tiers, explained 0:26 The 2026 Football Preview Book 1:19 How the tiers work 2:33 Jacoby Brissett 3:16 Tua Tagovailoa & Michael Penix Jr. 4:15 Lamar Jackson 6:28 Josh Allen 7:32 Bryce Young 10:09 Caleb Williams 11:36 Joe Burrow 12:35 Shedeur Sanders / Deshaun Watson 13:47 Dak Prescott 14:58 Bo Nix 16:29 Jared Goff 17:39 Jordan Love 18:27 C.J.
