2026 RBC Heritage leaderboard, scores: Ludvig Åberg grabs first-round lead as Viktor Hovland finds his groove
Ludvig Åberg takes the lead at RBC Heritage with a stellar 63!
Early consensus rankings for the 2026 fantasy football season highlight the Jacksonville Jaguars' wide receivers as potential bargains, with Brian Thomas Jr. at WR36, Parker Washington at WR45, and Jakobi Meyers at WR40. In the backfield, Bhayshul Tuten is noted as a strong value at RB26, while Chris Rodriguez is projected to be a solid option at RB54.
Fantasy expert consensus rankings (“ECR”) are starting to pop up across the Internet, giving managers an early glimpse into how the market might value hundreds of players this summer. As we look ahead to the 2026 season, here are the biggest Jaguars bargains based on ECR.
Based on expert rankings, this is an unusual situation for spotting fantasy bargains. All three starting wideouts are clustered within 10 spots of each other. Brian Thomas Jr. leads the way with a WR36 ECR, Parker Washington trails at WR45, and Jakobi Meyers holds the middle spot at WR40. It’s highly unusual and also worrisome for fantasy managers seeking clarity. Last year, all three finished outside the top 36 in points per game, and it’s quite possible two of the three will finish outside the top 40.
Safer bargains can be found in the backfield, where all three fantasy-relevant running backs appear to be at least slightly undervalued. Although Bhayshul Tuten is bordering on post-hype after Travis Etienne’s departure, Tuten’s RB26 ECR deservedly keeps him on bargain radars. He has strong 200+ touch potential, and that would be enough to almost guarantee top-24 numbers with plenty of room to pop.
Meanwhile, Chris Rodriguez (RB54) is a good bet to crack the top 50 as an efficient (4.6 yards per carry for his career), TD-friendly (10 scores on 198 carries) rusher. His lack of use in the passing game is worrisome, but that shouldn’t deter managers from stashing him as a glorified handcuff in a plus offense.
Finally, LeQuint Allen (RB86) caught 119 passes at Syracuse and could realistically outperform Rodriguez in PPR if the 2025 rookie can muster 40+ receptions. At minimum, Allen will be an undervalued bench stash on a team that had the eighth-most rushing attempts last season, and which seems geared toward continuing to use the run to wear down defenses.
