Fantasy Football Sleepers: Wide Receivers

Parker Washington (WR – JAX)

Reportedly, Brian Thomas Jr. could get traded after a disappointing sophomore year. Travis Hunter could primarily play cornerback in 2026 after struggling to have a consistent impact on offense as a rookie. Meanwhile, Parker Washington was Jacksonville’s best wide receiver, averaging a team-high 11.5 PPR fantasy points per game this season.

Trevor Lawrence loves throwing to the former Penn State star. More importantly, Liam Coen’s offense is fantasy-friendly for slot receivers. Chris Godwin was the WR2 in points per game (PPG) in 2024 with Coen as his offensive coordinator (19.7).

Adonai Mitchell (WR – NYJ)

Dynasty fantasy players should explore trade options for Adonai Mitchell this offseason. He has been a fantasy afterthought for most of his career. However, Mitchell was a popular waiver wire add after getting traded to the Jets before Brady Cook took over under center.

Mitchell was productive in Tyrod Taylor‘s two healthy starts, averaging 9.5 targets and 15.2 PPR fantasy points per game, totaling 24.2 against the Atlanta Falcons. While Garrett Wilson remains New York’s No. 1 wide receiver, Mitchell should have fantasy value with a capable quarterback under center.

Tory Horton (WR – SEA)

While Jaxon Smith-Njigba had a breakout year, the rest of Seattle’s wide receiver corps failed to make a fantasy impact. Rashid Shaheed is a free agent this offseason and could leave, especially if Klint Kubiak gets a head coaching job.

Meanwhile, Cooper Kupp will likely get cut, saving the Seahawks up to $13.5 million in salary cap space. Therefore, Tory Horton could be the team’s No. 2 wide receiver in 2026 after flashing as a rookie. He averaged 15.8 PPR fantasy points per game when seeing four or more targets.
