Boston College’s fantasy depth chart is fundamentally a vacated-volume + portal-rebuild projection, and it starts with Bill O’Brien taking over as the offensive play-caller in 2026.
The 2025 offense leaned pass-heavy by output (280.2 pass yards/game vs. 103.9 rush yards/game) while also being inefficient on the ground (3.3 YPC), and that context matters because the 2026 roster reset is clearly built to make the run game functional again without giving up the pass volume.
At QB, I’m betting on rushing-driven fantasy floor + experience: Mason McKenzie’s dual-threat profile gives him the most fantasy-friendly baseline even with the “small-school jump” risk, while Grayson Wilson’s upside is real but comes with a wider range of outcomes and slightly shakier week-to-week job security in a live competition.
Femi Babalola is the archetypal dynasty stash—strong recruiting evals and early flashes in spring work—but it’s hard to project bankable 2026 start equity over two portal QBs unless the room collapses.
In the backfield, Evan Dickens is the only Eagle with recent, proven, high-volume FBS production (1,339 rush yards, 16 TD in 2025), so he gets the RB1 nod even acknowledging Liberty-to-ACC translation risk.
The QB room underwent a complete overhaul after a dismal 4-8 2025 campaign. Jaylen Henderson arrives as the clear frontrunner for the starting job — the R-Sr. transfer from West Virginia (via Fresno State and Texas A&M) brings the most FBS-level credibility in the room, posting 715 yards and six TDs on a 53-of-78 clip in his lone featured season at Texas A&M in 2023. He’ll compete with Deshawn Purdie (Wake Forest/Charlotte transfer, 6-4 frame), while Ethan Vasko — who figures to miss most if not all spring recovering from shoulder surgery — slots in as a distant QB3. For dynasty managers, Henderson’s dual-threat profile (40 carries, 104 rush yards at A&M) makes him a legitimate late-round QB stash in deeper leagues.
