Let us take another moment to appreciate the 2026 NFL Draft class. This group was universally panned as a “down year,” a “disappointing pool of talent,” and was routinely overlooked on the way to a 2027 class that is supposed to be historic. However, that 2026 class, considered “light on blue chippers,” has produced at […]

This year has brought with it a slew of injuries, something we discussed in our IDP Waiver column earlier this week. As we’ve noted before, the injury bug has seriously bitten and occasionally mauled superstars like Lamar Jackson, Caleb Williams, Myles Garrett, Micah Parsons, and countless others.

Are injuries worse than ever in the NFL? This is a common question posed by fans every year, but 2026 surely feels different than most.
