In Short: As the 2026 NFL regular season kicks off, Fantasy football enthusiasts are focusing on undervalued players and upcoming games.

By Labor Day weekend, the 2026 NFL regular season is just four days away, and Fantasy football draft season is at its peak. According to CBS Sports, the model at SportsLine has identified several potential sleepers for Fantasy players, including New York Giants tight end Isaiah Likely and Titans running back Tony Pollard. The model's track record in predicting undervalued players is promising, as it correctly identified De'Von Achane's big season in the past.

Before finalizing your Fantasy football draft strategy, it's crucial to check out the 2026 Fantasy football rankings and cheat sheets from the same model. The model has a proven history of providing valuable insights, such as identifying A.J. Brown as a sleeper in previous seasons. This year, the model is targeting another undervalued player who could go off for huge numbers on Sunday Night Football, according to CBS Sports.

Meanwhile, college football fans have their eyes on the upcoming games, with Miami Hurricanes traveling to Stanford for a 9:00 pm eastern start on ESPN. While week zero didn't feature any significant interconference battles, there was still compelling football played by schools across the spectrum. The first week of the college football season is a supersized three-day holiday weekend, offering even more action.

Another notable game is the Cowboys' rivalry match against the Giants on Sunday Night Football, with Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and company traveling to MetLife Stadium. The Cowboys' recent performance has been a rollercoaster, with a 24-10 loss at Tulsa in Week 1 and a shocking victory over a top-10 opponent. Oregon coach Dan Lanning should consider picking the brain of Marcus Freeman, as the Ducks are the early frontrunner for the most stunning upset of the college football season.

DFS players on sites like FanDuel or DraftKings should also consider the NFL DFS advice, strategy, and stacks from SportsLine's daily Fantasy expert, Mike McClure. McClure has already identified top daily Fantasy football picks for Sunday Night Football, and his insights could provide a significant edge in Fantasy football strategies. As the season progresses, fans and players alike will be keeping a close eye on these undervalued players and upcoming games to maximize their Fantasy football success.
