NBA.com published shooting guard rankings for fantasy points leagues on Thursday, October 1, 2026. The rankings arrived as part of a broader wave of fantasy basketball coverage tied to the upcoming season.
The NBA.com piece is one of several preseason fantasy items released around the same time. ESPN published a guide on players to know and position battles to watch during the NBA preseason, according to its own listing. Yahoo Sports offered in-season strategies and tips for managers in Yahoo High Score leagues. NBC Sports, meanwhile, released a beginner's guide to playing fantasy basketball in 2026-27, including draft tips.
Taken together, the coverage points to a fantasy audience that spans first-time players and experienced managers. NBA.com's contribution focuses specifically on the shooting guard position and on points league formats, where scoring settings differ from category-based leagues and can change how individual players are valued. The other outlets address different parts of the same preseason cycle, from draft preparation to roster decisions made once the season is underway.
The source material does not include the names of the ranked players or the criteria behind the ordering, so those details remain with the original NBA.com article.
With the preseason underway, fantasy managers can expect further position-by-position rankings and draft guidance from these outlets ahead of the 2026-27 campaign.
