Fantasy Football Values to Draft: Wide Receivers (2026)

Let’s talk fantasy football sleepers. Sleeper means different things to different people, but at their core, sleepers are players who could significantly outperform their average draft position (ADP).

Below are 10 fantasy football sleepers to target at their current expert consensus ranking (ECR) on FantasyPros. Let’s dive into some of our favorite fantasy football values and sleepers to draft.

Fantasy Football Sleepers & Values: Wide Receivers

Wide Receiver

DJ Moore (WR – BUF) | ECR: WR28

DJ Moore took a step back last season in Chicago. He caught just 50 passes for 682 yards. Since 2019, Moore has amassed 1,000+ all-purpose yards in a season five times. He’ll be entering his age-29 season.

The last time Josh Allen fed one player 100+ receptions was in 2023 when 30-year-old Stefon Diggs was targeted 160 times and finished with nearly 1,200 yards and eight touchdowns. If Moore can bounce back to even a percentage of his usual self, good things should be coming his way.

Ricky Pearsall (WR – SF) | ECR: WR41

Ricky Pearsall was a first-round pick in 2024, and his first two NFL seasons have been hampered by injuries, playing just 20 games. Last season, he showed some signs of improvement, however. His yards per game, yards per reception, receptions per game and yards per target all improved from his rookie season. He also played significantly more snaps in the slot.

If healthy heading into next season, Pearsall could own the slot role with Mike Evans drawing attention on the outside. Jauan Jennings and Kendrick Bourne‘s combined 153 targets have been vacated, which could give Pearsall a prime opportunity to showcase the talent that got him selected in the first round.

Matthew Golden (WR – GB) | ECR: WR63

Speaking of first-round talent, I present Matthew Golden. The 23rd pick in 2025, Golden couldn’t quite earn a consistent role in the offense last season. However, at WR64, I am more than happy to take a flier on Golden, who ran a 4.29-second 40-yard dash. Additionally, Romeo Doubs was the team leader in targets (85), and he is now a New England Patriot.
