Analysts identify four NFL players facing potential regression in 2026
Summary

Fantasy football analysts identified Jonathan Taylor, Drake London, Trey McBride, and Cam Skattebo as players likely to experience decreased fantasy production this season. The concerns for Taylor center on the offensive outlook of the Indianapolis Colts, while Drake London faces uncertainty due to the Atlanta Falcons' quarterback situation involving Michael Penix Jr. and Tua Tagovailoa. Trey McBride may see fewer targets in the Arizona Cardinals' offense under coach Mike LaFleur, who is moving toward a more balanced game plan. Meanwhile, the New York Giants plan to split carries between Cam Skattebo, Najee Harris, and Tyrone Tracy to preserve Skattebo's health throughout the year. These projections suggest that the listed players may not meet the high draft expectations set by their previous performance. Draft participants are advised to weigh these potential setbacks against the talent level of each player when evaluating their rosters for the upcoming season.
