2026 Fantasy Football Rankings – Wide Receivers
Last Updated: January 29
Top 10 | 11-20 | 21-40 | 41-60 | 61-100 |
Other Positions: QB | RB | WR | TE
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.
Justin Jefferson, WR, Vikings. Bye: .
Justin Jefferson has to overcome J.J. McCarthy’s quarterbacking. McCarthy had some rough starts last year, but played better down the stretch.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 94 catches. 1,150 receiving yards. 8 total TDs.Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 163.
Rashee Rice, WR, Chiefs. Bye: .
Rashee Rice won’t have to worry about a suspension this year. He should continue to be a PPR machine.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 102 catches. 1,090 receiving yards. 9 total TDs.Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 163.
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.
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 help.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 64 catches. 1,110 receiving yards. 8 total TDs.Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 159.
Courtland Sutton, WR, Broncos. Bye: .
Courtland Sutton had a decent year, but he was held back by Bo Nix’s mediocrity.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 82 catches. 1,090 receiving yards. 8 total TDs.Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 157.
DeVonta Smith, WR, Eagles. Bye: .
DeVonta Smith is an inconsistent fantasy option with huge upside with A.J. Brown. He could have a huge year if Brown is traded.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 84 catches. 1,140 receiving yards. 7 total TDs.Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 156.
Chris Olave, WR, Saints. Bye: .
Chris Olave’s concussions are a concern. His outlook is bright with Tyler Shough playing well down the stretch.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 80 catches. 930 receiving yards. 7 total TDs.Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 155.
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: 64 catches. 860 receiving yards. 11 total TDs.Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 152.
Christian Watson, WR, Packers. Bye: .
Christian Watson can produce big numbers when he’s on the field, but he’s always injured (of course).
Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 60 catches. 1,040 receiving yards. 8 total TDs.Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 152.
