KC Concepcion Fantasy Football Outlook (2026)

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Wed, Aug 12th 2026, 2:30pm EDT

KC Concepcion has the talent to be Cleveland's clear WR1 this season. Where he's priced in drafts, all of the risk of bad quarterback play and Denzel Boston and Harold Fannin Jr. competing with him for the team target lead is priced in. The upside if he is the true WR1 isn't. Concepcion is a receiver that can threaten a defense at all three levels while also making things happen after the catch with the ball in his hands. In two of his last three collegiate seasons, he ranked top 35 in FBS in YAC per reception (26th, 33rd, per PFF). In 2023, Concepcion was 17th in missed tackles forced among FBS wide receivers. He's a wonderful late-round dart to toss in every format. Hell, draft him, and Boston, considering the cost and cut the player who is lagging behind in target share by Week 4.
