NC State Wolfpack
NC State's top projected fantasy scorer for the 2026 season is CJ Bailey, a QB projected for 225.7 points (overall rank #897 among every FBS draftable player on the board). Across its top 10 board-ranked players, NC State projects for 1012.5 combined fantasy points — even with the ACC median of 1012.5, ranking #9 of 17 in the conference.

The ACC 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.
