Summary

Our PRESEASON WATCH LIST kicks off with a full tour of the NFC North, as Sigmund Bloom and Cecil Lammey break down the biggest fantasy and NFL storylines you need to track before training camp.

Can Caleb Williams take the next step and enter true superstar territory in 2026. The Bears have surrounded him with talent — now it's time to see if he becomes the kind of QB who tilts the entire division.

Are the Detroit Lions slipping out of their Super Bowl window. After two years of pushing chips in, Bloom and Cecil examine whether the roster is still ascending… or quietly plateauing.

Do the Packers have a fantasy sleeper at running back. Marshawn Lloyd might be the most explosive RB on the roster — and fantasy GMs need to know his name before August drafts.

And in Minnesota, Kyler Murray is the favorite to win the QB battle. If he does, what does that mean for the fantasy value of Justin Jefferson. Could this be the best QB‑WR pairing Jefferson has ever had.

Bloom and Cecil hit every angle — fantasy, film, roster construction, and preseason expectations — as the NFC North sets the stage for one of the most unpredictable seasons in years.
