2026 Fantasy Football Draft Kit

The draft tier list is generated from a clustering algorithm called a gaussian mixture model, using expert consensus data from Fantasypros.com. The charts will be continually updated throughout the preseason and regular season. 

There are three components to the draft kit:

1. Top 200 Tier charts (below)

2. Top 200 Tier sheet

3. Position charts: QB - RB - WR - TE

The experts in the select pool are chosen based on individual experts' accuracy and have demonstrated consistent accuracy above the rest over several seasons. 

Be mindful that recent news may be slow to get reflected in these charts. Data is sourced from Fantasypros and not all experts push updated rankings regularly.

Good luck with your drafts, you can find me on twitter for questions and feedback.

2025 Weekly Fantasy Football Tiers

Introduction

In this fantasy football model, I take select expert ranking data from Fantasypros.com and pass it into a statistical clustering algorithm called a Gaussian mixture model.  The algorithm finds players who are ranked similarly and discovers natural tiers within the data. 

The results are a series of simple charts that can help you decide your fantasy football line up each week. Match ups, injuries, strength of offense and defense are all accounted for. For more intuition behind the model, you can read this introduction.

How to use these charts

(1) Favor higher tier players. 

(2) When choosing between players of the same tier, flip a coin or go with your gut. If experts are 50/50, there's no wrong choice.

(3) Fill your non-Flex positions first. Then use the Flex charts.
(4) Charts update every day. Check back Thursday, Sunday and Monday before game time.

Other charts are accessible from the menu.
