Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Panthers. Bye: .

Mike Evans, WR, Buccaneers. Bye: .

Alec Pierce, WR, Colts. Bye: .
Alec Pierce was just an inconsistent threat prior to 2025, but he became the team’s top receiver. He’s an impending free agent.

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 will soar if D.J. Moore departs.

Jaylen Waddle, WR, Dolphins. Bye: .

Ladd McConkey, WR, Chargers. Bye: .

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 62 catches. 920 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 128.
Emeka Egbuka, WR, Buccaneers. Bye: .
