The Riskiest Players in 2026 Fantasy Football: Achane, Nabers, Rice, Skattebo, Tuten & More

Published 4 days, 20 hours ago
Description

Ian Hartitz, Dwain McFarland, and Kendall Valenzuela break down the riskiest players you can draft in 2026 fantasy football. These aren't necessarily bad players. Some of them are actually "my guys" and upside plays for the same analysts who flagged them as risky at their current ADPs. That's what makes them so dangerous: massive ceiling, massive floor, and at prices that give us pause.
We go player by player through the names keeping our analysts up at night. De'Von Achane on a terrible Miami Dolphins offense. Malik Nabers' injury history. Rashee Rice dealing with off-the-field issues. Cam Skattebo as both a risk AND a "my guy" for Dwain. Bucky Irving's workload questions. And several more who could win you a league or blow up your roster.
If you want to know which players to proceed with caution on — or lean all the way in on — before your 2026 fantasy drafts, this is the episode.
