2026 Fantasy Football Rankings – Wide Receivers

Last Updated: July 29


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

Other Positions: QB | RB | WR | TE
21. 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.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 84 catches. 1,120 receiving yards. 9 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 166.

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

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: 77 catches. 1,110 receiving yards. 9 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 165.

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.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 97 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. 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.

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

26. 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.

27. 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.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 52 catches. 900 receiving yards. 8 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 148.

28. 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.

29. 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.

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

Jordyn Tyson is a big receiver who profiles as a No. 1 option, but he has an injury history.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 71 catches. 990 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 145.

31. 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.

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

32. 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.

33. 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: 69 catches. 940 receiving yards. 8 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 142.

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

Ricky Pearsall showed some amazing potential early in 2025, but suffered an injury. He’s been hurt frequently throughout his career thus far.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 72 catches. 940 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 139.

36. 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: 68 catches. 970 receiving yards. 7 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 139.

37. 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: 63 catches. 830 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 139.

38. 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.

39. 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.

40. 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.
