Jared Smola

Smola thinks Maye is still too cheap despite finishing near the top of the QB position last year. He likes the combination of elite passing efficiency, meaningful rushing production, an upgraded supporting cast and potentially more passing volume in closer games.

Smola sees Murray as an easy top-12 QB bet with top-six upside because of his proven fantasy scoring history, rushing ability and what he views as the best offensive environment of Murray’s career under Kevin O’Connell.

Smola sees Walker as a potential workhorse in Kansas City, with the Chiefs shaping the offense around his rushing and receiving ability and giving him legitimate top-six RB upside if healthy.

Smola likes Kincaid as a cheap TE with major efficiency upside if Buffalo can finally keep him healthy and increase his route participation; Kincaid led TEs in targets per route and yards per route last season.

Smola included Zay Flowers among his 2026 must-draft flag-plant players and viewed him as a strong target in his draft range.

Smola included Jaylen Waddle among his 2026 must-draft flag-plant players and remained high on his upside at draft cost.

Smola included Davante Adams among his 2026 must-draft flag-plant players, viewing him as a worthwhile target at his current draft cost.
