Bold College Fantasy Football predictions for the 2026 season

This season's college football fantasy football predictions are filled with bold statements and high expectations for the upcoming 2026 season. Jadan Baugh, the powerful-yet-graceful Man Beast, is predicted to emerge as a star running back for the Florida Gators under new head coach Jon Sumrall. Baugh, who was held back by previous coach Billy Napier, managed to score 17+ fantasy points in his last six contests following Napier's dismissal.

With Sumrall's affinity for using his primary running back as a bell cow, Baugh is set to shine and become the top draft pick in the NFL. Jayden 'Duke' Scott is expected to dominate the ACC, averaging 20 Fantasy PPG and surpassing the elite 20 PPG mark. With NC State facing off against Miami, Clemson, and Notre Dame, Scott will feast on the soft underbelly of the ACC.

Top-five scoring wide receiver Ryan Coleman-Williams is predicted to return to his elite form under new QB Keelon Russell. Coleman-Williams had a disappointing sophomore season due to drops, but with Russell by his side, he will correct his mistakes and become a top-five scorer. Jamal Roberts is predicted to finish as a top-15 CFF running back, supporting Missouri's offense and potentially becoming the team's starting RB2.

Omarion Miller, the BC-to-ASU transfer wide receiver, is expected to take the WR1 job and become a top-10 fantasy wideout. After overcoming personal and team challenges, Miller is now operating at a different level and is ready to make a massive leap in production. Lastly, Nico Iamaleava is predicted to tear up the Big Ten and average 25 fantasy points per game as a post-hype sleeper QB.

Despite transferring late in the cycle from Tennessee to UCLA, Iamaleava's skills and improved coaching situation will help him dominate the fantasy landscape.
