2026 Fantasy Football Rankings – Wide Receivers

Last Updated: May 9


Top 10 | 11-20 | 21-40 | 41-60 | 61-100 |

Other Positions: QB | RB | WR | TE
21. Garrett Wilson, WR, Jets. Bye: .

Garrrett Wilson endured horrible quarterbacking in the first half of the season and was injured in the other half of the season. Geno Smith’s presence isn’t great, but it’ll be better than what the Jets had last year.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 81 catches. 1,090 receiving yards. 8 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 157.

22. Terry McLaurin, WR, Redskins. Bye: .

Terry McLaurin paid the price for holding out last year. He should rebound in 2026, especially if Jayden Daniels can remain healthy.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 74 catches. 1,020 receiving yards. 9 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 156.

23. Mike Evans, WR, 49ers. Bye: .

Mike Evans finally failed to reach 1,000 yards. He played in just eight games, but looked good at times late in the year. He should do well in San Francisco.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 65 catches. 960 receiving yards. 8 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 154.

24. Emeka Egbuka, WR, Buccaneers. Bye: .

Emeka Egbuka was the favorite to be the Offensive Rookie of the Year in the first half of the season, but he disappeared in the final two months. Mike Evans’ departure should help.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 73 catches. 1,040 receiving yards. 8 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 152.

25. 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.

26. Rashee Rice, WR, Chiefs. Bye: .

Rashee Rice could always get into trouble again, and Patrick Mahomes’ injury is a concern.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 91 catches. 980 receiving yards. 7 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 150.

27. Courtland Sutton, WR, Broncos. Bye: .

Courtland Sutton had a decent year, but he was held back by Bo Nix’s mediocrity. He now has to share targets with Jaylen Waddle.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 72 catches. 970 receiving yards. 8 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 145.

28. Rome Odunze, WR, Bears. Bye: .

Rome Odunze had some big performances to start the year, but slowed down late in the year because of injuries.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 67 catches. 960 receiving yards. 8 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 144.

29. Michael Wilson, WR, Cardinals. Bye: .

Who would have thought that Michael Wilson would be the Cardinals receiver who would transform into a great weapon? Wilson, not Marvin Harrison Jr., was dominant down the stretch.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 73 catches. 1,000 receiving yards. 7 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 142.

30. Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Panthers. Bye: .

Tetairoa McMillan does not study film or work hard, so he could be someone who regresses during his NFL career.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 68 catches. 1,000 receiving yards. 7 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 142.

31. Luther Burden, WR, Bears. Bye: .

Luther Burden got off to a slow start in his rookie year, but was hot to close out the season. His stock has soared with D.J. Moore departing.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 83 catches. 1,030 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 139.

32. Jordan Addison, WR, Vikings. Bye: .

Jordan Addison was arrested this offseason, though the charges were dropped. His numbers should increase with Kyler Murray replacing J.J. McCarthy.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 68 catches. 970 receiving yards. 7 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 139.

33. Chris Godwin, WR, Buccaneers. Bye: .

Chris Godwin’s season was ruined by a foot injury he suffered in the middle of 2024. He’ll be healthier in 2026.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 79 catches. 960 receiving yards. 7 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 138.

34. Quentin Johnston, WR, Chargers. Bye: .

Quentin Johnston finally stopped being a bust. He had a solid third year, which would have been even better had the offensive line remained healthy.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 67 catches. 890 receiving yards. 8 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 137.

35. Ladd McConkey, WR, Chargers. Bye: .

Justin Herbert had a great rapport with Ladd McConkey in his rookie year, but other receivers were added to remove targets.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 79 catches. 930 receiving yards. 7 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 135.

36. Wan'Dale Robinson, WR, Giants. Bye: .

Wan’Dale Robinson was just a PPR scam prior to 2025, but he made a big transition with Jaxson Dart. He’s now a top option in Tennessee.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 94 catches. 1,040 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 134.

37. D.K. Metcalf, WR, Steelers

DK Metcalf had a solid year considering the age of his quarterback. Aaron Rodgers should be back another year.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 65 catches. 950 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 131.

38. Jaylen Waddle, WR, Broncos. Bye: .

Jaylen Waddle had a disappointing year considering that Tyreek Hill barely played. He’s in a crowded receiver group in Denver.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 72 catches. 930 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 129.

39. Carnell Tate, WR, . Bye: .

Carnell Tate is in position to be a No. 1 receiver in Tennessee, but he’s not a true No. 1 wideout in the NFL.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 60 catches. 830 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 129.

40. Romeo Doubs, WR, Patriots. Bye: .

Romeo Doubs was more consistent than usual last year, but that had to do with injuries at the position. He’s now a starter on the Patriots.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 68 catches. 920 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 128.
