20 FANTASY FOOTBALL FADES OF 2026

By Muntradamus

BEAST DOME NATION.

Last season I did an article of 5 players that will BUST your Draft. In the end all five players had awful seasons and literally did ruin your Fantasy Football draft if you selected them. During the preseason when everyone was all over Jacory Croskey-Merritt, I said he was going to be a BUST. However my biggest BUST call of all was a secret all the way until the season started. Kaleb Johnson, the reason Kaleb was a secret was because Jaylen Warren was part of the Draft Guide, and I did not want everyone to know just how bad Kaleb is. The list goes on and on with my great BUST calls leading into a season, year after year, my personal favorite was ‘The Fresh Bust of (Clyde Edwards) Helaire.’

20 FADES OF 2026

QB

LAMAR JACKSON

If Lamar Jackson ran like the way Lamar Jackson used to run, he would be valuable. Now he thinks he is Dan Marino, and he is not Dan Marino. BUST.

JAYDEN DANIELS

You have a better chance of living through a round of Russian Roulette than Jayden Daniels staying healthy all season taking hit after hit. The guy does not know how to get tackled, not many more big hits he can take.

JALEN HURTS

Take away the tush push and Hurts is not a QB1. While the tush push has become a reliable weapon for Hurts, I am not trying to draft a QB who is inconsistent and I have to hope the team gets tackled inside the 3 yard line for a bunch of grown men to shove my QBs ass in the end zone.

FERNANDO MENDOZA

Wrote about Mendoza in early June before the Raiders announced Kirk Cousins is the starter. Now that Kirk is the official starter, Mendoza has fallen off the face of the earth in best ball drafts etc.

RB

ASHTON JEANTY

Jeanty was beyond awful last season, a couple of improvements around him and everyone is ready to throw away their late 1st/early 2nd round pick on Jeanty all over again. Let them.

JEREMIYAH LOVE

Talked about him not getting enough touches in early June. Since then everything and everyone has confirmed that to be true. Tyler & Conner are going to be involved, I now see Love drop from Round 2 to Round 3, however that is still too early.

WR

GARRETT WILSON

You do not want your weapons QB to be Geno Smith.

CARNELL TATE

While Tate has potential, you are going to need to spend a very early draft pick to see that potential. While I do believe Tate is very talented, I am not about to waste a 4th/5th/6th round pick on a WR who is on an offense that has yet to prove enough that they are going to get Tate the ball the way a #1 WR needs the ball.

MAKAI LEMON

Temu Cooper Kupp, and that is generous.

PARKER WASHINGTON

Too many mouthes to feed.

BRIAN THOMAS

Too many mouthes to feed.

JAKOBI MYERS

Too many mouthes to feed.

TRAVIS HUNTER

Too many mouthes to feed.

JORDYN TYSON

I would like Tyson more if he went a little later, right now you have to take him in the range of some other talented WRs who have had success. Tyson will fight for more targets than many think, good upside but I will pass on the price.

KC CONCEPION

Last time I checked the Browns have had trouble getting 1 WR going, unless it was Jerry Jeudy the BEAST DOME pick of 2024. Hard to imagine them getting three WRs going in that offense.

DENZEL BOSTON

Last time I checked the Browns have had trouble getting 1 WR going, unless it was Jerry Jeudy the BEAST DOME pick of 2024. Hard to imagine them getting three WRs going in that offense.
