CBS Sports reports that Dave Richard is releasing tier-based frameworks to help fantasy football managers plan their 2026 drafts for key positions. One guide focuses on quarterbacks, presenting a tier system intended to organize signal-callers by expected fantasy value and draft priority. The approach is designed to make it easier for drafters to decide when to select quarterbacks in relation to peers rather than relying on a single ranking list.
A second guide applies the same tier concept to running backs. It organizes RB options into tiers to reflect relative value and expected opportunities for scoring, with the goal of helping managers time their picks during a draft. Together, the two pieces aim to provide a consistent blueprint for evaluating scarcity at the quarterback position and depth planning at running back.
Both articles emphasize the practical use of tiers in draft strategy, offering a structured way to approach the quarterback and running back positions in 2026 fantasy leagues.
