Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 105.

23. Oronde Gadsden, TE, Chargers. Bye: 7.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 104.

24. Terrance Ferguson, TE, Rams. Bye: 11.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 103.

25. Isaiah Likely, TE, Giants. Bye: 8.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 99.

27. Dawson Knox, TE, Bills. Bye: 7.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 99.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 97.

29. Cade Otton, TE, Buccaneers. Bye: 10.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 93.

31. Kyle Pitts, TE, Falcons. Bye: 11.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 93.

32. Eli Stowers, TE, Eagles. Bye: 10.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 92.

33. Travis Kelce, TE, Chiefs. Bye: 5.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 91.

34. Jake Tonges, TE, 49ers. Bye: 8.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 84.

35. Mike Gesicki, TE, Bengals. Bye: 6.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 79.

36. Mason Taylor, TE, Jets. Bye: 13.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 78.

38. Jonnu Smith, TE, Steelers. Bye: 9.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 77.

39. Michael Mayer, TE, Raiders. Bye: 13.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 70.

40. Evan Engram, TE, Broncos. Bye: 10.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 54 catches. 520 receiving yards. 2 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 64.

41. Theo Johnson, TE, Giants. Bye: 8.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 61.

42. Elijah Arroyo, TE, Seahawks. Bye: 11.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 49.

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

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 121.

12. T.J. Hockenson, TE, Vikings. Bye: 6.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 117.

15. Dalton Kincaid, TE, Bills. Bye: 7.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 117.

16. A.J. Barner, TE, Seahawks. Bye: 11.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 116.

18. Jake Ferguson, TE, Cowboys. Bye: 14.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 114.

19. Greg Dulcich, TE, Dolphins. Bye: 6.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 113.

20. David Njoku, TE, Chargers. Bye: 7.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 111.

1. Colston Loveland, TE, Bears. Bye: 10.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 167.

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

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 164.

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

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 157.

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

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

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 126.

8. Mark Andrews, TE, Ravens. Bye: 13.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 123.

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

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 121.

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

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 115.

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

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 115.

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

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 114.

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

Josh Downs didn’t click with Daniel Jones, resulting in a drop in production last year. However, with Michael Pittman Jr. gone, Downs could have a rebound season.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 72 catches. 760 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 112.

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

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 112.

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

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

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 110.

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

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 72 catches. 780 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 108.

69. 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: 46 catches. 640 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 108.

70. 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 Points: 108.

71. Kayshon Boutte, WR, Patriots. Bye: 11.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 106.

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

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 105.

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

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 105.

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

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 48 catches. 640 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 104.

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

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 103.

76. Chris Brazzell, WR, Panthers. Bye: 5.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 100.

78. Jalen Coker, WR, Panthers. Bye: 5.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 99.

79. Zachariah Branch, WR, Falcons. Bye: 11.

Zachariah Branch has explosive speed, but not much size. There’s not much behind Drake London in Atlanta, so there will be opportunities for Branch.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 39 catches. 550 receiving yards. 3 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 98.

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

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 97.

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

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 97.

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

83. Stefon Diggs, WR, Patriots. Bye: 11.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 96.

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

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 94.

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

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

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

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 83.

89. Devaughn Vele, WR, Saints. Bye: 8.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 80.

90. Cedric Tillman, WR, Browns. Bye: 11.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 78.

91. Darius Slayton, WR, Giants. Bye: 8.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 75.

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

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 75.

93. Christian Kirk, WR, 49ers. Bye: 8.

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

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 70.

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

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 62.

41. 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 Points: 128.

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

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 128.

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

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 128.

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

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 128.

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

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 126.

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

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 126.

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

The 49ers reached for De’Zhaun Stribling, though he’ll have a path to playing time because Mike Evans and Ricky Pearsall are so injury-prone. Stribling is a big, strong receiver who can make plays downfield.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 126.

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

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

Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 124.

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

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 51 catches. 690 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 124.

51. 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: 56 catches. 730 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 123.

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

Chris Bell is a dominant receiver with No. 1 potential. He’s coming off a torn ACL, but appears to be on track to be ready for Week 1.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 48 catches. 680 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 123.

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

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 69 catches. 850 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 121.

54. 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: 121.

55. Tyreek Hill, WR, . Bye: .

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

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 53 catches. 720 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 121.

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

K.C. Concepcion is a gifted receiver, but will have to overcome poor quarterbacking on the Browns.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 50 catches. 700 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 120.

57. 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.

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

Jayden Higgins showed improvement down the stretch of his rookie year, which could carry over into his second season.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 60 catches. 830 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 119.

59. Deebo Samuel, WR, Redskins. Bye: 7.

Deebo Samuel bounced back nicely last year, considering that he played with Marcus Mariota for many games. He’s still a free agent.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 60 catches. 730 receiving yards. 5 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 118.

60. 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: 48 catches. 690 receiving yards. 4 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 118.

21. 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.

22. 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. 1,160 receiving yards. 8 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 164.

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: 95 catches. 1,200 receiving yards. 7 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 162.

24. 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.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 63 catches. 1,080 receiving yards. 9 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 162.

25. 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.

26. 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.

27. 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: 81 catches. 1,110 receiving yards. 7 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 153.

28. 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.

29. 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: 72 catches. 970 receiving yards. 8 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 145.

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

32. 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: 68 catches. 1,000 receiving yards. 7 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 142.

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

34. 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.

35. 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.

36. 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: 79 catches. 960 receiving yards. 7 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 138.

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

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.

38. 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.

39. 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: 72 catches. 930 receiving yards. 6 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 129.

40. 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.

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

Chris Olave’s concussions are a concern. His outlook is bright with Tyler Shough playing well down the stretch.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 98 catches. 1,330 receiving yards. 10 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 193.

12. George Pickens, WR, Cowboys. Bye: 14.

George Pickens is coming off a huge year, albeit with some contoversy late in the season.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 73 catches. 1,230 receiving yards. 10 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 183.

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. 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.

15. 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.

16. 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.

17. 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: 74 catches. 1,120 receiving yards. 10 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 172.

18. 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: 72 catches. 1,000 receiving yards. 12 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 172.

19. 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.

20. 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.

1. Ja'Marr Chase, WR, Bengals. Bye: 6.

Ja’Marr Chase and Joe Burrow managed to stay healthy all of 2024. The result was Chase leading the NFL in receptions and receiving yards. That obviously wasn’t the case last year.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 124 catches. 1,650 receiving yards. 15 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 255.

2. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, Seahawks. Bye: 11.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba parlayed his great finish in his second season into an amazing third year.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 116 catches. 1,760 receiving yards. 11 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 242.

3. Puka Nacua, WR, Rams. Bye: 11.

Puka Nacua missed six games in 2024, but remained healthy for all but one game last year. He was unstoppable. However, he’s dealt with off-the-field issues this offseason and checked himself into a treatment clinic.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 125 catches. 1,660 receiving yards. 11 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 232.

4. Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR, Lions. Bye: 6.

Amon-Ra St. Brown continued to be a PPR machine last year. He has 23 touchdowns in the past two years.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 122 catches. 1,440 receiving yards. 11 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 210.

5. A.J. Brown, WR, Patriots. Bye: 11.

A.J. Brown had a roller coaster year, ending with three brutal drops in the playoffs. He could be reenergized with a new team.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 91 catches. 1,350 receiving yards. 12 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 207.

6. Justin Jefferson, WR, Vikings. Bye: 6.

Justin Jefferson will be working with Kyler Murray instead of J.J. McCarthy, which is an upgrade, but not totally ideal.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 101 catches. 1,400 receiving yards. 11 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 206.

7. CeeDee Lamb, WR, Cowboys. Bye: 14.

CeeDee Lamb had a great year in the yardage department, generating 1,077 yards despite missing four games. He scored just three touchdowns, however.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 114 catches. 1,440 receiving yards. 10 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 204.

8. Drake London, WR, Falcons. Bye: 11.

Drake London had just 919 yards and seven touchdowns last year, but missed five games.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 96 catches. 1,340 receiving yards. 11 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 200.

9. Nico Collins, WR, Texans. Bye: 8.

Nico Collins resembles Julio Jones at times. He should have another great year.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 86 catches. 1,370 receiving yards. 10 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 197.

10. Emeka Egbuka, WR, Buccaneers. Bye: 10.

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: 81 catches. 1,340 receiving yards. 10 total TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 194.

21. Jordan Love, QB, Packers. Bye: 11.

“No Cookie” Jordan Love continued to be inconsistent despite the enhanced receiver group. We should expect more of the same in 2026.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 3,700 passing yards. 26 passing TDs. 8 INTs. 230 rushing yards. 2 rushing TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 271.

22. Sam Darnold, QB, Seahawks. Bye: 11.

Sam Darnold proved that 2024 wasn’t a fluke. He threw for 4,000-plus yards again, though his touchdowns dropped from 35 to 25.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 4,100 passing yards. 27 passing TDs. 14 INTs. 90 rushing yards. 2 rushing TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 265.

23. Kyler Murray, QB, Vikings. Bye: 6.

Kyler Murray played a full season in 2024, so he was due to miss a lot of time in 2025. He’s projected to be the starter in Minnesota, but it’s unlikely that he’ll last the whole season.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 2,800 passing yards. 14 passing TDs. 8 INTs. 430 rushing yards. 3 rushing TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 243.

24. Cam Ward, QB, Titans. Bye: 9.

Cam Ward took a high number of sacks last year, but improved down the stretch. He’ll benefit from Wan’Dale Robinson and Carnell Tate joining the team.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 3,600 passing yards. 20 passing TDs. 12 INTs. 220 rushing yards. 3 rushing TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 240.

25. C.J. Stroud, QB, Texans. Bye: 8.

C.J. Stroud won Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2023, but has declined in each of his next two seasons. It’s possible that he’s not studying film and could continue to worsen.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 3,600 passing yards. 21 passing TDs. 11 INTs. 220 rushing yards. 2 rushing TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 240.

26. Bryce Young, QB, Panthers. Bye: 5.

Bryce Young embarrassed himself to start 2024, but he has improved in the past season and a half. He’s still not a viable fantasy option outside of 2-QB formats.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 3,300 passing yards. 22 passing TDs. 11 INTs. 220 rushing yards. 3 rushing TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 238.

27. Michael Penix, QB, Falcons. Bye: 11.

Michael Penix Jr. was a disappointment last year. Kevin Stefanski might be able to get the most out of him.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 3,600 passing yards. 23 passing TDs. 13 INTs. 140 rushing yards. 2 rushing TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 236.

28. Jacoby Brissett, QB, Cardinals. Bye: 14.

Jacoby Brissett set a record last year when starting for the Cardinals. He’s on borrowed time, however.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 3,400 passing yards. 23 passing TDs. 10 INTs. 150 rushing yards. 1 rushing TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 229.

29. Aaron Rodgers, QB, Steelers. Bye: 9.

Aaron Rodgers had some bright moments at the end of the year. It’s unclear if he’ll be returning to Pittsburgh.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 3,400 passing yards. 24 passing TDs. 9 INTs. 50 rushing yards. 1 rushing TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 225.

30. Deshaun Watson, QB, Browns. Bye: 11.

Deshaun Watson will be back from injury, but he’s not a viable fantasy option of any sort.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 3,000 passing yards. 19 passing TDs. 15 INTs. 380 rushing yards. 2 rushing TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 216.

31. Kirk Cousins, QB, Raiders. Bye: 13.

Kirk Cousins was an interception machine two years ago, but he was coming off a torn Achilles. He had some decent moments last year. He’ll start the year for the Raiders.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 3,500 passing yards. 20 passing TDs. 12 INTs. 20 rushing yards. 0 rushing TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 198.

32. Fernando Mendoza, QB, Raiders. Bye: 13.

Fernando Mendoza has drawn comparisons to Joe Flacco with some mobility. His offensive line is a big concern, however. He also won’t start right away.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 2,000 passing yards. 12 passing TDs. 8 INTs. 140 rushing yards. 2 rushing TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 188.

33. Geno Smith, QB, Jets. Bye: 13.

Geno Smith is a dreadful quarterback, despite what Mina Kimes has to say.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 3,000 passing yards. 19 passing TDs. 15 INTs. 90 rushing yards. 0 rushing TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 175.

34. J.J. McCarthy, QB, Vikings. Bye: 6.

J.J. McCarthy struggled in several games to begin his first year as a starter, but he improved down the stretch, albeit against inferior competition.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 1,400 passing yards. 8 passing TDs. 7 INTs. 140 rushing yards. 3 rushing TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 146.

35. Ty Simpson, QB, Rams. Bye: 11.

Ty Simpson won’t be playing for a while, and he doesn’t project as a good fantasy player.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 330 passing yards. 2 passing TDs. 2 INTs. 10 rushing yards. 2 rushing TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 60.

11. Matthew Stafford, QB, Rams. Bye: 11.

Matthew Stafford is coming off an MVP season in which he threw 46 touchdowns and only eight interceptions. It’s unlikely, given his age, that he’ll have just as good of a season next year.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 4,400 passing yards. 36 passing TDs. 8 INTs. 10 rushing yards. 0 rushing TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 305.

12. Jaxson Dart, QB, Giants. Bye: 8.

Jaxson Dart had some great performances as a rookie, and he didn’t even have Malik Nabers at his disposal.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 3,000 passing yards. 20 passing TDs. 8 INTs. 670 rushing yards. 9 rushing TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 305.

13. Jared Goff, QB, Lions. Bye: 6.

Jared Goff had a better year than expected given the offensive line injuries and the downgrade at coordinator. Taylor Decker retiring complicates matters further, but Detroit’s non-divisional schedule is so easy.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 4,600 passing yards. 34 passing TDs. 12 INTs. 20 rushing yards. 1 rushing TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 304.

14. Tyler Shough, QB, Saints. Bye: 8.

Tyler Shough had a rough debut, but improved every week. It’s too early to say, but he looks like a legitimate NFL starter who could be a QB1 in fantasy.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 4,000 passing yards. 25 passing TDs. 10 INTs. 340 rushing yards. 5 rushing TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 304.

15. Patrick Mahomes, QB, Chiefs. Bye: 5.

Patrick Mahomes is coming off three down years because of a lackluster supporting cast, and now he’s dealing with a torn ACL. Mahomes should be ready for Week 1, but he may not run as much.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 4,250 passing yards. 30 passing TDs. 12 INTs. 260 rushing yards. 2 rushing TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 304.

16. Malik Willis, QB, Dolphins. Bye: 6.

Malik Willis has played on a high level when given the chance. His rushing potential makes him a viable fantasy option.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 3,450 passing yards. 19 passing TDs. 11 INTs. 740 rushing yards. 6 rushing TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 302.

17. Baker Mayfield, QB, Buccaneers. Bye: 10.

Baker Mayfield was injured during the second half of the 2025. He lost Mike Evans, but could rebound this year.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 3,900 passing yards. 31 passing TDs. 13 INTs. 360 rushing yards. 2 rushing TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 302.

18. Bo Nix, QB, Broncos. Bye: 10.

Bo Nix isn’t a very good quarterback, but his ability to pick up yards and touchdowns on the ground makes him a viable fantasy option.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 3,950 passing yards. 26 passing TDs. 11 INTs. 380 rushing yards. 4 rushing TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 302.

19. Daniel Jones, QB, Colts. Bye: 13.

Daniel Jones had a strong season until he tore his Achilles. He could bounce back in his return to Indianapolis. However, he may not run as much because of the injury.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 3,700 passing yards. 24 passing TDs. 11 INTs. 190 rushing yards. 5 rushing TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 301.

20. Brock Purdy, QB, 49ers. Bye: 8.

Brock Purdy had some huge performances last year, particularly against the Bears, but he was injured for half the season.

Projected 2026 Fantasy Stats: 3,900 passing yards. 29 passing TDs. 16 INTs. 250 rushing yards. 4 rushing TDs.
Projected 2026 Fantasy Points: 289.
