2026 HTPB Playoff picks
Ogre’s Death Squad
Drafting #1 overall ODS took Gibbs, the most consensus first overall pick I can remember. It is everyone”s belief that he will smash this year! Packers starting RB Marshawn Lloyd in the 9th could prove to be a massive advantage. Judkins, Croskey, Marks and Mitchell round out this extremely deep platoon of RBs. ODS could stumble at WR! Rice, McConkey and Downs are talented and should be great but have all struggled playing full season. Excellent value on Tyler Warren at the end of the 4th round. Completed his stack with Herbert in the 7th, one of the QBs I was hoping fell to me! I think he is in for a big year! Will he find a way to Big E it away?
Italian Stallions
The Stallions settled for Consolation prize Bijan Robinson at #2 overall. He built on that foundation taking the starting RBs from the two Super Bowl teams with his 5th & 6th picks Jadarian and Rhamondre. Solid Value on backfields you want a part of. Then takes the other QB I was targeting in the 7th Trevor Lawrence who was putting up big numbers down the stretch last season. What puts the Stallions over the top for me is his flock of WRs. Drafting 8 WRs in the first 12 rounds! Especially like his top 3 while mixing in some value and upside shots with his following 5 WR selections. The depth at WR in ppr should pay off. Another season another Dom Draft I like, sooner or later I’m gonna be right, this is the year buddy!
Eh Bid Dude
Taking the first WR off the board at #3 overall selecting JaMarr Chase. Then was able to complete the stack selecting Joe Burrow in the 4th round. Seems like a reasonable price for that lethal of a duo! Grabbing elite talent near the end of the second round Malik Nabers. A calculated risk with him returning from injury, repots have been positive. Possibly the best pair of WRs in the league. Javonte Williams and Skattebo showed some 20+ point week production last season. We will see how the early Kicker and Defense work out. Those are the ones I would have picked. Hard to get them right but can definitely be difference makers. None of this really matters, this team will be unrecognizable by week 8.
Blue Gatorade
Starting the draft with two reliable RBs attached to good offenses James Cook and Derrick Henry. Both of which can provide week winning performances. Then managed to put together a young and exciting group of WRs. DeVonte Smith, Emeka Egbuka, Rome Odunze, KC Concepcion and Michael Pittman. Not personally a believer this year but Jayden Daniels in the 6th round seems like good value on a QB that many consider a top 5 player at the position for fantasy. Drafting next to “He’s a Slash Dude,” Max ended up with 3 TE’s. The wily vet Travis Swift, newly acquired Giant Isaiah Likely, and Rams second year breakout Terrance Ferguson?
Russian Missiles
Give the man his due. Your HTBP Champion! Here to run it back. Surprising everyone when he took Josh Allen in the Second round. “Dance with the one who brought you.” Bounce back candidate Saquon Barkley should perform better than last season with the new OC. At WR he was able to get his Josh Allen stack with DJ Moore, TD specialist Davante Adams, DK Metcalf and Debo Samuel. George Kittle should have a prominent role in the efficient 49ers offense, and alongside Mark Andrews gives him an experienced duo at TE. The Broncos are projected to be a top 5 defense. Let’s Ride Not since a Big Cats Crushers drafted team has this much experience existed on one team.
BayBay’s
With the 4th overall pick he selected Puka, the #1 WR last year. PPR monster in his prime. Alongside Nico Collins this WR duo is in the discussion for best duo in the league. Additional WRs Jayden Reed, Makai Lemon, Tre Harris and Jalen Nailor. Nice upside picks with a realistic chance of one maybe two of them breaking into top 30 at the position. Last season’s #1 TE Trey McBride fell into his lap in the 3rd round, should finish near the top again. Lamar Jackson who usually finishes as a top 3 QB with his 4th pick. Weakness in my opinion is definitely RB. My belief in Tuten to be a top 15 RB was major reason for this playoff pick selection. Tony Pollard should get enough volume and RJ Harvey should handle pass catching duties to be decent flex options. What injuries will BayBay’s be faced with this season, will he overcome them?
Dollars
After missing the playoffs last year I’m hoping the schedule maker does a better job matching me up with teams on their down weeks. Probably gonna need some help getting this questionable team to the playoffs . I do like my players however injuries concern me with guys like Ken Walker, can he handle the 3 down work load? Mike Evans, Jaylen Waddle can they start and finish games. Definitely could have made arguments for other teams here but gotta have faith in my picks to go get it done. Playoff picks were not even close last year, see if I can get back on track this season.
Good luck to everyone week 1 except for that buster BNE
