Fantasy Football: Games we're most excited for on the 2026 NFL schedule

The NFL schedule for the 2026 season has been revealed, and there are lots of matchups worth talking about. Here, the Yahoo Fantasy Football crew chooses the games they’re most excited to watch for the upcoming campaign. See which matchups Justin Boone, Matt Harmon, Scott Pianowski and Joel Smyth are looking forward to.

Reigning Super Bowl MVP returns to face former team

Chiefs at Seahawks, Week 7:It’s not often a Super Bowl MVP leaves his team in free agency, but that’s exactly the scenario Kenneth Walker III finds himself in after signing with the Chiefs. Even more exciting, is the fact he gets to face his former club on the road in Seattle. Whether it was the decision to not re-sign him or the committee backfield the coaching staff kept deploying him in, there doesn’t seem to be any love lost between Walker and the Seahawks’ management. When asked about the matchup this season, Walker told Kay Adams on the Up & Adams Show “I would dap up all my teammates, but that’s about it”.

From a fantasy standpoint, it never hurts to have a little added motivation going into a game and I even factor that in slightly to my rankings and projections when a player encounters a team he used to be on. Walker is also coming off the hottest streak of his career, averaging 128.5 scrimmage yards per outing over his final six games (including the postseason). However, the Seahawks’ run defense will be up for the challenge. They allowed the third-fewest rushing yards and the second-fewest rushing touchdowns in 2025. Let’s hope Walker breaks a long run and gets to have a Marshawn Lynch-style celebration as he dives into the end zone.— Boone

No love lost between these two rivals on Sunday night

Cowboys at Giants, Week 1 (SNF opener):No better way to start than the beginning. We’ll all be heavily invested in the Cowboys offense from a fantasy standpoint, so it’s key to get an early look at that unit. We don’t have many questions about it but nevertheless, seeing how George Pickens is used in concert with a fully healthy CeeDee Lamb is a big variable as he proceeds to play on the franchise tag. The bigger questions are on the other side of the ball.

The Giants' offense is one I can’t quite wrap my mind around just yet. On one hand, there are several interesting young players who might be values in drafts, including Year 2 players in Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo. The entire unit is getting a facelift with a new coaching staff under John Harbaugh and looks poised to move toward more heavy and 12-personnel packages. At the same time, they might be playing the early season without orcertainly minus a fully healthy Malik Nabers. The star receiver is what can take this from a solid unit to a strong one. His status is one I’ll be closely monitoring all throughout the summer.— Harmon

High-scoring affair between two NFL powerhouses on tap

Bills at Rams, Week 5 (MNF):If this game doesn’t get your blood pumping, consult your doctor immediately. It’s a prime-time matchup between the last two MVP winners (Josh Allen, Matthew Stafford), and we’ve recently seen these teams have a pinball affair. The Bills and Rams met in Week 14 of 2024, withLos Angeles holding on for an exhilarating 44-42 victory. Josh Allen did his Superman thing for Buffalo that day (three touchdowns passing, three touchdowns rushing) while the Rams racked up 457 yards and five touchdowns of their own (the other TD scored on special teams). Puka Nacua put on a 12-162-1 clinic, Kyren Williams had 31 touches and scored twice, and Stafford threw for 320 yards and two scores, en route to a 132.6 rating. I don’t see how the teams are that much different now; little wonder there’s a 53.5 point total set for this Monday night showdown. Get your popcorn ready.— Pianowski

Jackson vs. Burrow matchup (health pending) in primetime

Ravens at Bengals, Week 17 (TNF): For years, the Lamar Jackson versus Joe Burrow prime-time games have fed families and fantasy football managers. Shootout after shootout has come with Ja’Marr Chase averaging 29.5 fantasy points over his last four with both QBs over 20 PPG. Prior to last season, Jackson was averaging 25.3 per game versus Cincinnati, one of the best marks by a player against a team in the NFL, but struggled mightily in the matchups last season, ultimately only throwing the ball 12 times in their Week 15 win. If both quarterbacks can stay healthy, I’d expect them to go back to their shootout ways and light up the scoreboard.

This time, the Bengals will finally host Baltimore in a primetime matchup, after the last four being played in Baltimore. A New Year’s Eve fantasy championship is what dreams are made of, as the two favorites in the division will square off to decide NFL playoff standings and fantasy championships.— Smyth

Ross Mathews is hosting the 90 Day: The Single Life season 5 Tell All, calling it his “dream gig” after 25 years on television

NEED TO KNOW

• Mathews promises shocking revelations and updates during the two-part event, which he says leaves “no stone unturned”

• A longtime fan of the franchise, Mathews tells PEOPLE he hopes to make viewers proud with his hosting debut

Ross Mathewshas been a massive fan of90 Day Fiancéfor over a decade. Now, he's stepping in as host of the latestSingle LifeTell All, which he promises will be full of “twists and turns.”

Mathews, 46, is marking his 25th year on television by hosting the90 Day: The Single Lifeseason 5 Tell All — a role he calls his “dream gig” after being obsessed with the show.

“I do feel like the super fan who won the golden ticket,” the host tells PEOPLE.

Mathews promises there will be “updates galore” during the spicy two-part event, where he says secrets will be revealed that even he wasn’t privy to. Anyone hoping for a shocking Tell All, he says, is "going to be thrilled.”

“This Tell All, we leave no stone unturned,” Mathews says. “We really go there. Nothing was off limits and I really tried to get answers.”

Mathews has grown quite familiar with90 Day Fiancéover the years, having watched the reality show since it premiered in January 2014. “There's something about this show that really reads as authentic,” he says. “And maybe it's because I also am an optimist, so I'm truly rooting for people. I love seeing people fall in love.”

So when the opportunity came for Mathews to host the latestSingle LifeTell All, he didn't hesitate to accept the offer, which he called “a dream come true.” The host has “such respect” for both the show andShaun Robinson, who began hosting90 Day FiancéTell Alls in 2016 and was “grateful” to step in when asked.

Now, he just wants to "make the fans proud."

“I am a fan. And so I took it very seriously,” Mathews says. "But I also knew that I would have so much fun doing it. It was like a front-row seat to my favorite show.”

As host of the upcomingSingle LifeTell All, Mathews says his goal was to “be respectful” while pushing for “answers and accountability … and really the truth.” But as surprising as season 5 ofThe Single Lifewas, he promises the Tell All is even more shocking. “My jaw [and] all my chins were on the floor multiple times,” he says.

There is one moment at the Tell All, according to Mathews, that he “didn’t even see coming," during which he had to "set my cards down." He still “loved every second” of hosting and felt “surprisingly comfortable” in the host’s chair.

"The stuff you've been yelling at the TV, that I've been yelling too, I think we're finally going to get resolution," Mathews says. "And if not resolution, at least an explanation.”

As for whether viewers can expect to see more of Mathews in the90 Dayuniverse, he says, “Who knows? I would say, stay tuned. Dot, dot, dot.”

A new Ebola outbreak is confirmed in a remote Congo province, with 65 deaths recorded

KINSHASA, Congo (AP) — Africa’s top public health body on Friday confirmed anew Ebola outbreakin Congo’s remote Ituri province, with 246 suspected cases and 65 deaths recorded so far.

Congo Ebola

The deaths and suspected cases have been recorded mainly in the Mongwalu and Rwampara health zones, the Africa Centres for Disease Control ​and Prevention said in a statement.

The Ebola virusis highly contagious and can be contracted through bodily fluids such as vomit, blood or semen. The disease it causes is rare, but severe and often fatal.

“Four deaths have been reported among laboratory-confirmed cases. Suspected cases have also been reported in Bunia, pending confirmation,” the agency said, referring to the capital of Ituri province, near the border with Uganda.

It said preliminary laboratory results had detected the Ebola virus in 13 of 20 samples. The results suggest a non-Ebola Zaire strain of the virus with sequencing ongoing to further characterize the strain, the agency said. The Ebola Zaire strain has been prominent in Congo's past outbreaks.

The World Health Organization said last year that Congo has a stockpile of treatments and some 2,000 doses of the Ervebo Ebola vaccine, However, the vaccine is effective against the Ebola Zaire strain of the virus, it said.

The Africa CDC said results confirming the strain in the new outbreak are expected within the 24 hours.

The latest outbreak comes around five months after Congo’s last Ebola outbreakwas declared overafter 43 deaths.

Ituri is in a remote eastern part of Congo characterized by poor road networks, and is more than 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) from the nation’s capital of Kinshasa.

Africa CDC said it is concerned about the risk of further spread due to intense population movement, mining-related mobility in Mongwalu, insecurity in affected areas, gaps in contact listing and control challenges.

The proximity of affected areas to Uganda and South Sudan also raises concerns, it said.

The agency said it is convening an urgent high-level coordination meeting Friday with health authorities from Congo, Uganda and South Sudan, together with key partners including U.N. agencies and other countries.

“The meeting will focus on immediate response priorities, cross-border coordination, surveillance, laboratory support, infection prevention and control, risk communication, safe and dignified burials, and resource mobilization,” it said.

Congo has seen more than a dozen Ebola outbreaks

This is the 17th outbreak in Congo since the disease first emerged in the country in 1976. An Ebola outbreak from 2018 to 2020in eastern Congokilled more than 1,000 people. The WHO said that outbreak was characterized by the Ebola Zaire strain.

An earlier outbreak that swept across West Africa from 2014 to 2016 also killed more than 11,000 people.

The new outbreak will create more worry for the Central African country, which has been battling various armed groups in the east, including the M23 rebel group, which launcheda rapid assault in Januarylast year and has since occupied key cities.

Ituri in particular is also battling violence from the Allied Democratic Force, an Islamic State-linked militant group which has killed dozens there and in other parts of the east.

Congo, Africa's second-largest country by land area, often faces logistical challenges in responding to disease outbreaks. During last year's outbreak, which lasted three months, the World Health Organizationinitially faced significant challengesin delivering vaccines due to limited access and scarce funds.

Dr. Gabriel Nsakala, a professor of public health who has been involved in past Ebola outbreak responses in Congo, said the country and health workers on the ground have a high level of experience from past outbreaks, in addition to existing infrastructure such as laboratories.

“In terms of training, people already know what they can do. Now, the expertise and equipment need to be delivered quickly,” Nsakala added.

PGA Championship: Rory McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau among those in danger of missing the cut

The top 70 and ties will make the cut at the 108th PGA Championship, and already a few notable players are in danger of not making it to the weekend.

Biggest among those: Rory McIlroy. He came into tournament among the heavy favorites, behind only Scottie Scheffler. But after a 4-over 74 on Thursday, McIlroy heads into Friday’s Round 2 in a tie for 102nd.

At least that’s better than where Bryson DeChambeau sits entering Friday’s round.

DeChambeau, at +6, is T130 after Round 1. Keep in mind, there are 156 total players in the tournament.

Others on the wrong side up the top 70 entering Round 2: Dustin Johnson, Akshay Bahtia, Adam Scott, Keegan Bradley, Viktor Hovland, Wyndham Clark and Max Homa.

Per datagolf.com, the projected cut is +3. With weather playing a major factor in the early going, that could change quickly.
