Field Yates has released the 2026 edition of his annual player list, naming Justin Herbert, Colston Loveland, Derrick Henry, Kenneth Walker III, Justin Jefferson, George Kittle and Emeka Egbuka.

By the numbers
Herbert rushing yards in 2025498
Loveland targets over final four games10, 13, 15, 10
Henry seasons as NFL's No. 2 rusher4
Walker runs of 20-plus yards in 202510
Jefferson receiving touchdowns in 20252

Herbert's case is tied to the arrival of offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel in Los Angeles. Loveland became a focal point late in Chicago's season, while Henry enters a four-year run as the NFL's second-leading rusher. Walker joins Kansas City after producing 10 runs of more than 20 yards last season.

Kittle has returned from the PUP list while recovering from a torn Achilles suffered in January, and Egbuka's toe injury makes his Week 1 status uncertain.
