Where do these rankings come from?

NextDyne Engine season projections for 2026. We project counting stats first, score them with the format you pick, then rank by projected season points within each position.

Which positions are included?

The sheet opens at the top 30 per position. Show more players expands to 40 QBs, 100 RBs, 120 WRs, 60 TEs, 40 kickers, 32 team defenses, and 50 each at DL, LB, and DB. Offense respects your STD / Half-PPR / PPR toggle; K, DEF, and IDP use fixed Engine scoring templates.

Why do ranks change between Standard and PPR?

Receptions are worth zero in standard and one point in full PPR. Volume receivers and pass-catching backs move up in PPR; touchdown-heavy backs hold better in standard.

Is this a dynasty or redraft sheet?

Season-long projected points for 2026 — useful for redraft drafts and as a production baseline in dynasty. Dynasty trade value lives on the player board, not this sheet.

Can I download or print the sheet?

Yes. Download Excel for one tab per position (DL, LB, and DB combined on IDP), or print / save as PDF from the print button.

How often does it update?

When the Engine overlay refreshes — injury news, depth-chart moves, and role changes flow through the same model that powers player profiles and the trade calculator.
