Michigan State Spartans
Michigan State's top projected fantasy scorer for the 2026 season is Jaziun Patterson, a RB projected for 116.3 points (overall rank #1024 among every FBS draftable player on the board). Across its top 10 board-ranked players, Michigan State projects for 720.5 combined fantasy points — 324.9 points below the Big Ten median of 1045.4, ranking #18 of 18 in the conference. Its deepest position group is running backs, worth 318.1 combined projected points from 10 rostered players.
The Big Ten is one of the sport's four power conferences. Saturday Night Showdown carries live projections and a full draft board for all 138 FBS programs — power-conference and Group of Five alike.
Projected points and board slot are Saturday Night Showdown's own 2026 season-long projections and value-based draft board, generated before Week 0 kicks off — not stats from games already played, and not an average of real-world draft results.
