Nebraska Cornhuskers
Nebraska's top projected fantasy scorer for the 2026 season is Anthony Colandrea, a QB projected for 224.2 points (overall rank #906 among every FBS draftable player on the board).

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.
