Cole Payton
Premium tier / #79 overall
Cole Payton enters the 2026 season with PHI and ranks QB107 and #766 overall in the current Gridiron Value projection. The model projects 7.8 PPR points across 15.0 games, or 0.5 points per game, placing the expected outcome in a depth and watch-list tier. The preseason depth chart lists Cole Payton as QB4, so the opportunity forecast is tied to that current role rather than name value alone. There is not yet a complete recent NFL season in the data, so role, draft investment, and the current team environment carry more weight than player history. Projection confidence is 19%, with a 0% modeled chance of a Top-24 positional finish. The primary risk is earning enough weekly opportunity from a lower depth-chart position.
