Last Updated: May 9
Top 10 | 11-20 | 21-40 | 41-60 | 61-100 |
Other Positions: QB | RB | WR | TE
Malik Nabers, WR, Giants. Bye: .
Malik Nabers is an incredible talent, but he tore his ACL last year, so it’s very risky to draft him this summer.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 90 catches. 1,260 receiving yards. 11 total TDs.Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 192.
A.J. Brown, WR, Eagles. Bye: .
A.J. Brown had a roller coaster year, ending with three brutal drops in the playoffs. He could be reenergized with a new team.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 84 catches. 1,270 receiving yards. 9 total TDs.Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 181.
Alec Pierce, WR, Colts. Bye: .
Alec Pierce was just an inconsistent threat prior to 2025, but he became the team’s top receiver. His targets will increase with Michael Pittman Jr. gone.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 68 catches. 1,190 receiving yards. 10 total TDs.Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 179.
Tee Higgins, WR, Bengals. Bye: .
Tee Higgins missed five games in 2023 and 2024, and then Joe Burrow was out in 2025. He hasn’t been able to live up to his potential, but perhaps this will be the year.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 82 catches. 1,240 receiving yards. 9 total TDs.Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 178.
DeVonta Smith, WR, Eagles. Bye: .
DeVonta Smith is an inconsistent fantasy option with huge upside with A.J. Brown. He’ll have a huge year with A.J. Brown gone.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 86 catches. 1,230 receiving yards. 9 total TDs.Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 177.
Jameson Williams, WR, Lions. Bye: .
Jameson Williams had a huge second half of the season. His numbers ballooned when Dan Campbell took over the coordinating duties. Sam LaPorta suffering an injury didn’t hurt.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 71 catches. 1,220 receiving yards. 9 total TDs.Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 176.
Davante Adams, WR, Rams. Bye: .
Davante Adams was a touchdown machine last year. Matthew Stafford will continue to look for him in the end zone, though Adams is 34.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 74 catches. 1,020 receiving yards. 12 total TDs.Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 174.
D.J. Moore, WR, Bills. Bye: .
D.J. Moore had to endure Caleb Williams’ rookie woes. Williams improved in 2025, but there were too many cooks in the receiver corps. Moore is now the top option in Buffalo. Just 28, Moore could have a huge year.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 84 catches. 1,120 receiving yards. 9 total TDs.Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 166.
Zay Flowers, WR, Ravens. Bye: .
Zay Flowers is coming off his best season. He could be even better in 2026 if Lamar Jackson remains healthy.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 84 catches. 1,250 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 161.
Parker Washington, WR, Jaguars. Bye: .
Parker Washington transformed into Trevor Lawrence’s top weapon down the stretch. He’s used as the Cooper Kupp/Chris Godwin in Liam Coen’s Jacksonville offense.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 83 catches. 1,150 receiving yards. 7 total TDs.Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 157.
