Fantasy Football League Winners You MUST Draft in 2026: Brock Bowers, AJ Brown, Omarion Hampton & More (Ep. 2061)

Joe Pisapia, Derek Brown, and Pat Fitzmaurice break down their favorite fantasy football league winners to target in 2026 drafts. The guys dive into early-round difference-makers, mid-round breakout candidates, and late-round upside picks who could dramatically outperform ADP.

Will Brock Bowers give fantasy managers a vintage Travis Kelce-level edge at tight end? Can Colston Loveland become Chicago’s true No. 1 option? Is Omarion Hampton ready to smash in a revamped Chargers offense? Plus, the crew debates AJ Brown’s upside with the Patriots, Jaylen Waddle’s new opportunity in Denver, Christian Watson’s breakout potential, Jonathan Brooks’ path to taking over the Panthers backfield, and much more.

Use Draft Wizard to test out these strategies, build your draft plan, and dominate your fantasy football league.
