  2. Puka Nacua, WR, Rams (vs. 49ers)- 23 Points
    8 Catches, 120 Receiving Yards.

    6 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
    Courtland Sutton is still the 1B receiver.

  20. Jaylen Waddle, WR, Broncos (at Chiefs)- 13 Points
    5 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards.
    Jaylen Waddle is a pyramid scheme, but he has an easy matchup in Week 1.

  21. Ladd McConkey, WR, Chargers (vs. Cardinals)- 13 Points
    6 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
    Ladd McConkey should bounce back from an injury-ravaged season.

  22. Caleb Douglas, WR, Dolphins (at Raiders)- 13 Points
    5 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards.
    Caleb Douglas is Miami's new No. 1 receiver. He's big and athletic.

  23. Malik Nabers, WR, Giants (vs. Cowboys)- 13 Points
    5 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards.
    It's unclear if Malik Nabers will be 100 percent this year.

  24. Romeo Doubs, WR, Patriots (at Seahawks)- 13 Points
    6 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
    Romeo Doubs will work the Wes Welker/Julian Edelman role in Josh McDaniels' offense.

    5 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards.
    Tre Tucker is the Raiders' No. 1.

  34. Davante Adams, WR, Rams (vs. 49ers)- 12 Points
    3 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.

    The Rams struggled against WR2s last year.

    4 Catches, 60 Receiving Yards.
    D.J. Moore has never had a great passer throwing the ball to him.

  44. Denzel Boston, WR, Browns (at Jaguars)- 10 Points
    2 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Denzel Boston could score many touchdowns this year.

    4 Catches, 50 Receiving Yards.


  55. Khalil Shakir, WR, Bills (at Texans)- 8 Points
    4 Catches, 40 Receiving Yards.

  57. Josh Downs, WR, Colts (vs. Ravens)- 8 Points

Fantasy Pros



2026 Fantasy Football Rankings - Wide Receivers

Last Updated: September 9


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

Other Positions: QB | RB | WR | TE
11. Emeka Egbuka, WR, Buccaneers. Bye: 10.

Todd Bowles told the media that he's not sure if Emeka Egbuka will be available for Week 1 because of his toe injury. It's possible that Egbuka has turf toe, which could cause him to miss several weeks. Be cautious when drafting him despite his incredible upside.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 75 catches. 1,240 receiving yards. 10 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 184.

12. Malik Nabers, WR, Giants. Bye: 8.

Malik Nabers has been running routes for a while now, and he revealed that the clean-up procedure date was incorrectly reported. This is big news for Nabers, who could be ready Week 1. However, he remains a big injury risk coming off the torn ACL.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 81 catches. 1,170 receiving yards. 9 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 181.

13. DeVonta Smith, WR, Eagles. Bye: 10.

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.

14. Garrett Wilson, WR, Jets. Bye: 13.

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. 1,230 receiving yards. 9 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 177.

15. Jameson Williams, WR, Lions. Bye: 6.

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.

16. Tee Higgins, WR, Bengals. Bye: 6.

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: 80 catches. 1,210 receiving yards. 9 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 175.

17. Christian Watson, WR, Packers. Bye: 11.

Christian Watson can produce big numbers when he's on the field, but he's always injured (of course).

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 70 catches. 1,150 receiving yards. 10 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 175.

18. D.J. Moore, WR, Bills. Bye: 7.

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. Moore looked great in his preseason debut with Buffalo. He made a huge play after a short reception on the first drive and then hauled in a deep reception on the second possession. He grabbed his leg in what appeared to be discomfort after his final catch of the afternoon, and it looked bad at first glance, but it appears as though his shoe just fell off his foot. All indications are that he's okay.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 87 catches. 1,190 receiving yards. 9 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 173.

19. Terry McLaurin, WR, Redskins. Bye: 7.

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: 73 catches. 1,110 receiving yards. 10 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 171.

20. Chris Olave, WR, Saints. Bye: 8.

Chris Olave is holding out of training camp because of a contract dispute. This is another reason to be bearish on Olave this year, who is dealing with blood clots in his lungs and an extensive concussion history.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 84 catches. 1,120 receiving yards. 8 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 170.

    We'll see how healthy Tucker Kraft is coming off the torn ACL.

  13. Hunter Henry, TE, Patriots (at Seahawks)- 9 Points
    4 Catches, 50 Receiving Yards.
    The Seahawks are woeful against tight ends.

  14. Michael Mayer, TE, Raiders (vs. Dolphins)- 9 Points
    4 Catches, 50 Receiving Yards.
    Michael Mayer is a viable option with Brock Bowers sidelined.

  15. T.J. Hockenson, TE, Vikings (vs. Packers)- 9 Points
    4 Catches, 50 Receiving Yards.
    T.J. Hockenson is a viable Week 1 option.

  16. Charlie Kolar, TE, Chargers (vs. Cardinals)- 8 Points
    4 Catches, 40 Receiving Yards.
    Charlie Kolar looks to be the primary tight end with the Chargers.

  17. Greg Dulcich, TE, Dolphins (at Raiders)- 8 Points
    4 Catches, 40 Receiving Yards.
    The Raiders should be better against tight ends this year.

  18. Brenton Strange, TE, Jaguars (vs. Browns)- 8 Points
    4 Catches, 40 Receiving Yards.
    Trevor Lawrence loves throwing to Trevor Lawrence.

  19. Pat Freiermuth, TE, Steelers (vs. Falcons)- 8 Points
    4 Catches, 40 Receiving Yards.
    Pat Freiermuth will be more productive with Jonnu Smith gone.

  20. George Kittle, TE, 49ers (vs. Rams)- 7 Points
    3 Catches, 40 Receiving Yards.
    George Kittle is not 100 percent.

  21. Travis Kelce, TE, Chiefs (vs. Broncos)- 7 Points
    3 Catches, 40 Receiving Yards.
    Travis Kelce is a million years old.

  22. Jake Ferguson, TE, Cowboys (at Giants)- 7 Points
    3 Catches, 40 Receiving Yards.
    Jake Ferguson will have his best games if CeeDee Lamb is out of the lineup.

  23. Terrance Ferguson, TE, Rams (vs. 49ers)- 7 Points
    3 Catches, 40 Receiving Yards.
    Terrance Ferguson will be used as the WR3 this year.

  24. Chig Okonkwo, TE, Redskins (at Eagles)- 7 Points
    3 Catches, 40 Receiving Yards.


  25. A.J. Barner, TE, Seahawks (vs. Patriots)- 7 Points
    3 Catches, 40 Receiving Yards.
    The Patriots aren't great against tight ends.

  26. Gunnar Helm, TE, Titans (vs. Jets)- 7 Points
    3 Catches, 40 Receiving Yards.
    Gunnar Helm is an athletic tight end with upside.

  27. Dalton Kincaid, TE, Bills (at Texans)- 6 Points
    3 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards.
    Dalton Kincaid has indicated that he'll be limited this year.

  28. Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Jets (at Titans)- 6 Points
    3 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards.
    Dealing with a hernia right now.

  29. Colby Parkinson, TE, Rams (vs. 49ers)- 6 Points
    3 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards.


  30. Mark Andrews, TE, Ravens (at Colts)- 6 Points
    3 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards.
    Mark Andrews has been slowing down, and he just had a poor camp.

  31. Dalton Schultz, TE, Texans (vs. Bills)- 6 Points
    3 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards.
    Dalton Schultz will take some targets intended for Jayden Higgins.

  32. David Njoku, TE, Chargers (vs. Cardinals)- 5 Points
    2 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards.


  33. Darren Waller, TE, Panthers (vs. Bears)- 5 Points
    2 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards.
    It might take Darren Waller a bit to be involved in the offense.

  34. Darnell Washington, TE, Steelers (vs. Falcons)- 5 Points
    2 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards.


  35. Cole Kmet, TE, Bears (at Panthers)- 4 Points

  36. Mike Gesicki, TE, Bengals (vs. Buccaneers)- 4 Points

2026 Fantasy Football Rankings - Wide Receivers

Last Updated: September 9


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

Other Positions: QB | RB | WR | TE
21. Davante Adams, WR, Rams. Bye: 11.

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: 69 catches. 970 receiving yards. 12 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 169.

22. Ladd McConkey, WR, Chargers. Bye: 7.

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: 94 catches. 1,130 receiving yards. 9 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 167.

23. Luther Burden, WR, Bears. Bye: 10.

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. Burden suffered a groin injury and will be out for about a month. He may play Week 1, so this injury may not matter very much, but it's still far from ideal.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 93 catches. 1,220 receiving yards. 7 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 164.

24. Zay Flowers, WR, Ravens. Bye: 13.

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.

25. Rashee Rice, WR, Chiefs. Bye: 5.

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.

26. Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Panthers. Bye: 5.

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

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 73 catches. 1,050 receiving yards. 7 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 147.

27. Brian Thomas, WR, Jaguars. Bye: 7.

Brian Thomas was seen as a raw receiver with tons of upside heading into his rookie campaign. He was incredible, but was far worse in 2025.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 62 catches. 980 receiving yards. 8 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 146.

28. Mike Evans, WR, 49ers. Bye: 8.

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. Evans suffered a leg injury in training camp. It's not considered overly serious, but it's a reminder that Evans has been very prone to soft-tissue injuries over the years, and now he's in his mid-30s. Evans is now dealing with another injury, with his groin acting up this time. This is yet another reason to avoid this aging receiver.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 66 catches. 970 receiving yards. 8 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 145.

29. Parker Washington, WR, Jaguars. Bye: 7.

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. Washington has been Trevor Lawrence's top target during training camp. While it's difficult to trust training camp reports, this is something I suspected would happen, so it's nice to get some confirmation.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 78 catches. 1,080 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 144.

30. Rome Odunze, WR, Bears. Bye: 10.

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.

31. Alec Pierce, WR, Colts. Bye: 13.

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. Pierce has been placed on the PUP list. His foot injury is troubling, so he's probably best to avoid. There's no timetable for Pierce's return, according to Shane Steichen. It's extremely difficult to trust Pierce with his ankle injury. This could be a similar situation to what Chris Godwin endured last season.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 59 catches. 920 receiving yards. 7 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 144.

32. De'Zhaun Stribling, WR, 49ers. Bye: 8.

De'Zhaun Stribling made a great initial catch away from his body versus a Chargers' starting cornerback. Then, he caught a ball on the next play to move the chains for a first down. After that, Stribling went to the ground to catch a pass to move the chains again. He followed that up with a nice reception over the middle of the field.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 69 catches. 900 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 141.

33. Matthew Golden, WR, Packers. Bye: 11.

Matthew Golden didn't do much as a rookie. Perhaps he'll be more involved with experience and Romeo Doubs' departure.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 68 catches. 890 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 140.

34. Courtland Sutton, WR, Broncos. Bye: 10.

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: 67 catches. 920 receiving yards. 8 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 140.

35. Michael Wilson, WR, Cardinals. Bye: 14.

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

36. Malachi Fields, WR, Giants. Bye: 8.

Malachi Fields is a big receiver and a red zone weapon. He has big-time potential this year with Malik Nabers coming off a torn ACL. Fields has made an early claim for the No. 2 receiver spot, according to an Athletic report. Fields had some negative news recently with Malik Nabers practicing, but it sounds like he'll be starting regardless.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 55 catches. 780 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 139.

37. Quentin Johnston, WR, Chargers. Bye: 7.

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: 66 catches. 900 receiving yards. 8 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 138.

38. K.C. Concepcion, WR, Browns. Bye: 11.

K.C. Concepcion handled the opening punt return in the initial preseason game, so I was concerned about his playing time, but he was on the field often with Deshaun Watson. He saw more targets than anyone (4), and he showed some burst, especially on his yards after the catch on his touchdown score.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 68 catches. 870 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 137.

39. Zachariah Branch, WR, Falcons

Zachariah Branch has reportedly been a nightmare for opposing cornerbacks in training camp. I was already a fan of Branch because he's a spark plug who can go the distance whenever he touches the ball, so it was nice to see that he's also thriving in practice thus far.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 51 catches. 770 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 137.

40. Jordan Addison, WR, Vikings. Bye: 6.

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: 65 catches. 940 receiving yards. 7 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 136.

2026 Fantasy Football Rankings - Wide Receivers

Last Updated: September 9


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

Other Positions: QB | RB | WR | TE
41. Jaylen Waddle, WR, Broncos. Bye: 10.

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: 77 catches. 980 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 134.

42. Ja'Kobi Lane, WR, Ravens. Bye: 13.

One beat reporter said that he has never seen a training camp performance from a rookie like he's seen from Ja'Kobi Lane. It's difficult to trust beat reports, especially when they're being hyperbolic, but this is confirmation from what our sources have told us about Lane. Rashod Bateman is facing three charges for smashing a windshield of a car with his 3-month-old child inside. While there will be some lunatics who will praise this action, Bateman could be facing a suspension. This can only help Lane, who continues to look better and better.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 62 catches. 770 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 133.

43. Romeo Doubs, WR, Patriots. Bye: 11.

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

44. 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.

45. Ryan Flournoy, WR, Cowboys. Bye: 14.

Ryan Flournoy had some solid performances down the stretch, establishing himself as Dallas' No. 3. He should be added if either CeeDee Lamb or George Pickens gets hurt.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 57 catches. 710 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 131.

46. Carnell Tate, WR, Titans. Bye: 9.

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.

47. Chris Godwin, WR, Buccaneers. Bye: 10.

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: 73 catches. 860 receiving yards. 7 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 128.

48. Deebo Samuel, WR, 49ers. Bye: 8.

Deebo Samuel has signed with the 49ers, likely in response to Ricky Pearsall's injury. Samuel knows San Francisco's system well, so it's definitely a plus that he won't have to learn a new scheme this upcoming season.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 60 catches. 830 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 128.

49. Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Cardinals. Bye: 14.

Marvin Harrison Jr. had a decent season for a rookie, but regressed in his second year. He's difficult to trust. Harrison Jr. has struggled with drops during the early stages of training camp. Even worse, he's been running with the backups. This wouldn't be a huge deal if Harrison wasn't already a huge disappointment.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 60 catches. 920 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 128.

50. Jayden Reed, WR, Packers. Bye: 11.

Jayden Reed is lining up in two-receiver sets in training camp. This is huge. Reed hardly played in two-receiver sets when Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks were on the team. Reed's upside was capped as a result, but it sounds like he's being unleashed this season.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 75 catches. 910 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 127.

51. Caleb Douglas, WR, Dolphins. Bye: 6.

Caleb Douglas saw two targets from Malik Willis in his preseason debut, and he looked incredible on both of them. He appeared to catch the first pass, but upon replay review, it was apparent that he was barely out of bounds. The catch was terrific, so it would have made SportsCenter highlights had Douglas' one foot not been out of bounds. The second catch did make SportsCenter highlights, however. It was an incredible one-handed, back-shoulder catch to convert a third-and-5. The announcers in this game called Douglas a breakout star in training camp, and it appears to be true. Douglas, who was named the No. 1 receiver by his coaching staff, appears to be a terrific late-round fantasy sleeper.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 62 catches. 860 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 125.

52. Denzel Boston, WR, Browns. Bye: 11.

Denzel Boston is having a great training camp, according to multiple reports. This could be another fluff piece, but it's coming from multiple places. Keep in mind, however, that Cleveland's quarterbacks are terrible. Boston has been listed as a starting receiver on Cleveland's depth chart. This can't be a surprise to anyone who has followed Boston's amazing training camp.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 64 catches. 880 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 124.

53. Kayshon Boutte, WR, Texans. Bye: 8.

The Texans have acquired Kayshon Boutte, who will likely start across from Nico Collins. This is an upgrade for Boutte, who goes from being a WR3 and a WR2, albeit in a worse offense.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 58 catches. 880 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 124.

54. Michael Pittman, WR, Steelers. Bye: 9.

Michael Pittman Jr. caught 80 passes last year, but his yards per catch was way down. He'll be a solid No. 2 in Pittsburgh.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 82 catches. 870 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 123.

55. Wan'Dale Robinson, WR, Titans. Bye: 9.

It's difficult to find a positive for a receiver in a game in which a quarterback completed fewer than half of his throws, but Wan'Dale Robinson definitely deserves to be mentioned as a positive coming out of this game. Robinson saw five targets from Cam Ward, and yet no other Tennessee receiver who started the game saw more than two targets. In fact, Robinson was only one of two starters who saw multiple targets in this game. Ward struggled in this contest, but he looked most comfortable throwing to Robinson, who should have a solid year from a PPR perspective.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 88 catches. 980 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 122.

56. Jordyn Tyson, WR, Saints. Bye: 8.

Jordan Tyson will miss the next two months with a hamstring injury. I'm not sure why a hamstring injury would cause Tyson to miss two months, but it's a huge disappointment. He's now just a late-round pick because it's unclear if he'll be 100 percent when he returns.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 51 catches. 720 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 122.

57. Tre' Harris, WR, Chargers. Bye: 7.

Tre' Harris' rookie year began with a disappointing Keenan Allen signing, but Harris made some big plays down the stretch. Allen is now gone.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 51 catches. 710 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 121.

58. Jakobi Meyers, WR, Jaguars. Bye: 7.

Jakobi Meyers continues to be a solid producer no matter who his quarterback is. He was a very reliable player for Trevor Lawrence.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 76 catches. 890 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 119.

59. Josh Downs, WR, Colts. Bye: 13.

The Colts signed Keenan Allen, which is a major blow for Josh Downs. We saw Allen destroy Ladd McConkey's value last year when he signed with the Chargers, and now he's going to do the same thing with Downs.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 79 catches. 810 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 117.

60. Pat Bryant, WR, Broncos. Bye: 10.

Pat Bryant had a strong second half of a rookie season, which should perhaps lead to a quality second season. Jaylen Waddle's presence complicates things, however. Bryant has been a standout according to some reports. There's been some speculation that Bryant could even surpass Courtland Sutton on the depth chart.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 53 catches. 710 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 117.

Updated 9/9/2026 7:29:10 PM - Follow @walterfootball for updates.
  1. Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Lions (vs. Saints)- 28 Points
    160 Rushing Yards, 5 Catches, 40 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Jahmyr Gibbs is the top play in Week 1.

  2. De'Von Achane, RB, Dolphins (at Raiders)- 24 Points
    120 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    De'Von Achane could have a huge game against the Raiders.

  3. Omarion Hampton, RB, Chargers (vs. Cardinals)- 23 Points
    110 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Omarion Hampton should thrive in this game.

  4. Christian McCaffrey, RB, 49ers (vs. Rams)- 21 Points
    60 Rushing Yards, 7 Catches, 60 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Christian McCaffrey caught eight passes in both games against the Rams last year.

  5. Javonte Williams, RB, Cowboys (at Giants)- 21 Points
    100 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Javonte Williams has a tremendous matchup.

  6. Bijan Robinson, RB, Falcons (at Steelers)- 20 Points
    70 Rushing Yards, 6 Catches, 40 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Bijan Robinson is matchup proof, so don't worry about him facing the Steelers.

  7. Breece Hall, RB, Jets (at Titans)- 19 Points
    80 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Breece Hall figures to dominate the Titans.

  8. Cam Skattebo, RB, Giants (vs. Cowboys)- 18 Points
    70 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Cam Skattebo is game-flow proof because he does everything.

  9. D'Andre Swift, RB, Bears (at Panthers)- 17 Points

  25. Jeremiyah Love, RB, Cardinals (at Chargers)- 9 Points

Fantasy Pros



2026 Fantasy Football Rankings - Wide Receivers

Last Updated: September 9


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

Other Positions: QB | RB | WR | TE
61. Jalen Coker, WR, Panthers. Bye: 5.

Jalen Coker has been a reliable second option for Bryce Young, but the Panthers may add someone else.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 73 catches. 790 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 115.

62. Tre Tucker, WR, Raiders. Bye: 13.

Tre Tucker posted some big games last year and is now the No. 1 wide receiver on Las Vegas' roster.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 69 catches. 850 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 115.

63. Isaac TeSlaa, WR, Lions. Bye: 6.

Isaac TeSlaa was a big weapon in the end zone last year. He'll have a larger role with Kalif Raymond gone.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 56 catches. 640 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 115.

64. Adonai Mitchell, WR, Jets. Bye: 13.

Adonai Mitchell showed some promise with the Jets until he was buried by Brady Cook's incompetence. Mitchell has some upside.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 55 catches. 760 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 115.

65. Chris Bell, WR, Dolphins. Bye: 6.

Chris Bell caught two of his five targets and looked pretty good in the preseason finale considering that he's coming off a serious knee injury.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 42 catches. 600 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 115.

66. Jalen McMillan, WR, Buccaneers. Bye: 10.

Jalen McMillan is now the third receiver on the Buccaneers with Mike Evans gone.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 56 catches. 750 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 114.

67. Stefon Diggs, WR, Redskins. Bye: 7.

Stefon Diggs has signed with the Redskins. This obviously is a boost to his fantasy outlook because he's actually on an NFL team. He'll have a great quarterback at his disposal as long as Jayen Daniels can stay healthy.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 69 catches. 830 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 113.

68. Cyrus Allen, WR, Chiefs. Bye: 5.

Cyrus Allen has been the most impressive receiver in Chiefs camp thus far. This does not include Rashee Rice, who is currently not practicing. Still, Allen's great play should be noted, but also taken with a grain of salt because there have been many puff pieces written about Kansas City receivers in the past. Allen made a nice move to pick up a significant gain early on in the preseason opener, but that was negated by offensive pass interference. Allen also made a leaping 10-yard catch to convert a third and eight. He looked good in this game, but it's still too early to say if he's a viable fantasy option.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 47 catches. 640 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 113.

69. Xavier Worthy, WR, Chiefs. Bye: 5.

Xavier Worthy was a huge disappointment last year, failing to take advantage of Rashee Rice's absence.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 58 catches. 820 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 112.

70. Devaughn Vele, WR, Saints

Devaughn Vele became the Saints' No. 2 receiver once Rashid Shaheed was traded, but Jordyn Tyson now holds that distinction.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 63 catches. 720 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 111.

71. Khalil Shakir, WR, Bills. Bye: 7.

Khalil Shakir is a consistent PPR option, but there wasn't much weekly upside in standard-scoring leagues.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 72 catches. 800 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 110.

72. Makai Lemon, WR, Eagles. Bye: 10.

Makai Lemon is talented, but has some serious character concerns. He'll have an opportunity to succeed this year.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 48 catches. 690 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 108.

73. Zavion Thomas, WR, Bears. Bye: 10.

Zavion Thomas showed some major explosiveness in the preseason finale. He has some potential as a rookie.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 37 catches. 630 receiving yards. 3 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 106.

74. Tank Dell, WR, Texans. Bye: 8.

Tank Dell suffered a devastating knee injury in Week 16 of 2024. He'll be back this year, but at what capacity?

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 35 catches. 520 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 106.

75. Jerry Jeudy, WR, Browns. Bye: 11.

Jerry Jeudy had an amazing finish to his 2024 season, but was a predictable disappointment in 2025.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 63 catches. 810 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 105.

76. Rashid Shaheed, WR, Seahawks. Bye: 11.

Rashid Shaheed was a dynamic deep threat in New Orleans, but never got implemented into the offense in Seattle. I imagine that'll change next season.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 45 catches. 650 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 104.

77. Bryce Lance, WR, Saints. Bye: 8.

There are reports that Bryce Lance has been enjoying a great training camp. With Jordyn Tyson out a while, someone will need to step up, and that's looking like it could potentially be Lance.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 36 catches. 580 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 102.

78. Jauan Jennings, WR, Vikings. Bye: 6.

Jauan Jennings will be relegated to the third receiver role in Minnesota.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 48 catches. 560 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 100.

79. Jaylin Noel, WR, Texans. Bye: 8.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 67 catches. 750 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 99.

80. Antonio Williams, WR, Redskins. Bye: 7.

Antonio Williams has excellent play-making ability and quality route-running skills. There's not much competition for the No. 2 spot in Washington.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 40 catches. 570 receiving yards. 3 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 95.

81. Darnell Mooney, WR, Giants. Bye: 8.

Darnell Mooney struggled last year, but was never healthy because of an injury he had entering the season. He should be better in 2026.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 57 catches. 690 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 93.

82. Jalen Nailor, WR, Raiders. Bye: 13.

Jalen Nailor caught a 22-yard pass on the first drive of this game, but his fantasy owners can't be too encouraged. Nailor played while some other Raiders skill players sat. We expected Ashton Jeanty and Brock Bowers to sit out, but Tre Tucker and Michael Mayer were also on the bench.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 52 catches. 690 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 93.

83. Tyreek Hill, WR, . Bye: .

Tyreek Hill is damaged goods, having torn multiple ligaments in his knee last year.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 30 catches. 450 receiving yards. 3 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 93.

84. Jack Bech, WR, Raiders. Bye: 13.

Jack Bech had an awful training camp last year, but improved late in the season.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 48 catches. 540 receiving yards. 2 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 91.

85. Troy Franklin, WR, Broncos. Bye: 10.

Troy Franklin's stock took a hit with the Jaylen Waddle addition.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 48 catches. 640 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 88.

86. Keenan Allen, WR, Colts. Bye: 13.

Cedric Tillman was very productive with Jameis Winston two years ago, but never took the next step in 2025, thanks to poor quarterbacking.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 64 catches. 590 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 83.

87. Andrei Iosvias, WR, Bengals. Bye: 6.

Andrei Iosivas should be picked up if Ja'Marr Chase or Tee Higgins were to get injured.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 35 catches. 450 receiving yards. 3 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 83.

88. Omar Cooper, WR, Jets. Bye: 13.

The Jets traded up for Omar Cooper, who figures to be the No. 2 receiver on his new team.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 41 catches. 490 receiving yards. 2 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 81.

89. Dontayvion Wicks, WR, Eagles. Bye: 10.

Dontayvion Wicks has shown some big-play potential, but he needs players in front of him to get injured in order to be relevant.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 29 catches. 420 receiving yards. 3 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 75.

90. Calvin Ridley, WR, Titans. Bye: 9.

Calvin Ridley missed 10 games last year and was ineffective when he was on the field.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 34 catches. 580 receiving yards. 2 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 70.

91. Cooper Kupp, WR, Seahawks. Bye: 11.

Cooper Kupp is on his last legs. He should not be owned in any fantasy format.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 38 catches. 500 receiving yards. 2 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 62.

92. Germie Bernard, WR, Steelers. Bye: 9.

Roman Wilson had a terrific camp, according to Aaron Rodgers. This is interesting because Rodgers often has a huge problem trusting rookies. Germie Bernard, competing with Wilson, may not do much this year with Rodgers talking up Wilson.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 22 catches. 290 receiving yards. 1 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 55.

93. Brandon Aiyuk, WR, . Bye: .

Brandon Aiyuk tore his ACL and MCL in 2024, which would explain why he didn't play last year. John Lynch said Aiyuk will never play the 49ers again.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 0 catches. 0 receiving yards. 0 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 0.

94. Jayden Higgins, WR, Texans. Bye: 8.

Jayden Higgins is out for the year with a torn ACL. Tank Dell, Jaylin Noel, and especially Xavier Hutchinson all stand to benefit, though Houston could trade for a receiver.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 0 catches. 0 receiving yards. 0 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 0.

95. Ricky Pearsall, WR, 49ers. Bye: 8.

Ricky Pearsall suffered complications to his PCL injury, which bothered him last year. He may require surgery. Pearsall is now only an option in the final round of your fantasy draft.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 0 catches. 0 receiving yards. 0 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 0.

  1. Ja'Marr Chase, WR, Bengals (vs. Buccaneers)- 22 Points
    6 Catches, 100 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.

Top 10 | 11-20 | 21-45 |

Other Positions: QB | RB | WR | TE
1. Colston Loveland, TE, Bears. Bye: 10.

Colston Loveland struggled to begin the season, but was a monster down the stretch. He could have a huge 2026 campaign.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 93 catches. 1,130 receiving yards. 9 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 167.

2. Trey McBride, TE, Cardinals. Bye: 14.

Trey McBride finally was able to find the end zone once Kyler Murray was displaced as the quarterback. This was not a fluke.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 107 catches. 1,090 receiving yards. 8 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 157.

3. Brock Bowers, TE, Raiders. Bye: 13.

Brock Bowers had a disappointing second season that was mired by injuries and bad quarterbacking. He should rebound in 2026.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 153.

4. Tyler Warren, TE, Colts. Bye: 13.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 135.

5. Dallas Goedert, TE, Eagles. Bye: 10.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 134.

6. Tucker Kraft, TE, Packers. Bye: 11.

Tucker Kraft was having a monster year before tearing his ACL. We've seen tight ends play well coming off these injuries. Kraft will not be limited heading into Week 1. There was some thought that he'd be on a limited snap count, but that will not be the case.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 64 catches. 910 receiving yards. 7 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 133.

7. Harold Fannin, TE, Browns. Bye: 11.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 130.

8. Hunter Henry, TE, Patriots. Bye: 11.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 125.

9. Chig Okonkwo, TE, Redskins. Bye: 7.

Chig Okonkwo is coming off a decent season, considering that he was working with a rookie quarterback. He'll do better with Jayden Daniels.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 124.

10. Sam LaPorta, TE, Lions. Bye: 6.

Sam LaPorta was enjoying a nice season before suffering a back injury. LaPorta is dealing with a hip injury that could threaten his role to begin the season. Dan Campbell said he expects LaPorta to play Week 1, but wasn't completely sure.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 72 catches. 850 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 121.
