Rashee Rice Note
Rashee Rice photo 11. Rashee Rice KC
Rashee Rice is an interesting WR to rank, given how much he was targeted in the red zone this past season (a ton of screen passes). Rice finished top-5 among WRs in PPG during his truncated season. 7th overall in red-zone targets in just 8 games played. Given his draft price might be slightly reduced based on his off-field issues and injured QB...Rice could easily be a league winner and dark-horse WR1 overall candidate in 2026.

Davante Adams Note
Davante Adams photo 16. Davante Adams LAR
The early ECR is pricing Davante Adams as a mid-WR2 and I'm simply not buying it. Last year was actually a red flag season disguised as a good one — he posted a career-low catch rate of 53%, his YAC per reception hit a career low, and the bulk of his production was TD-dependent with 15 scores. That kind of touchdown volume is notoriously hard to replicate year over year. Even though Matthew Stafford is back under center in LA, he may not force-feed Adams in the end zone as he did in 2025 en route to an MVP award. On top of that, Adams turns 33 and dealt with a lower-body tissue injury in 2025 that cost him time — at his age, that's not something you just brush off. When I look at the totality of it — the age, the injury, the TD regression risk, the declining efficiency numbers — I see a player far more likely to fall off than to replicate what he did last year.

Zay Flowers Note
Zay Flowers photo 19. Zay Flowers BAL
There's a world where Zay Flowers has the talent to be a top-5 fantasy WR if he can ever score TDs. Cooking. Over 1,200 yards. 86 catches and 5 TDs (WR7) in 2025. WR3 over the last five games. 4+ catches in 13 of his 17 games: a testament to his reliable floor and consistent involvement. 5th in target share (28%). 11th in air yards share (35%). 4th in yards per route run behind Puka Nacua, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Luther Burden. His late-season scoring binge (five TDs over the last four games) helped him tie the six touchdowns he scored in his rookie campaign.

Ladd McConkey Note
Ladd McConkey photo 21. Ladd McConkey LAC
Don't hold the OL injuries against the Chargers' skill players. Ladd McConkey specifically. The Chargers' WR failed to live up to his expectations from his rookie season, as Keenan Allen's presence capped his target/production ceiling. The 33-year-old WR LED the Chargers in targets under OC Greg Roman (hyper-targeted on third downs). But with Roman replaced by Mike McDaniel, we should expect McConkey to finish closer to his rookie season, when he averaged 2.6 YPRR. McDaniel knows how to deploy his WRs to achieve peak efficiency both for real-life and fantasy purposes.

Christian Watson Note
Christian Watson photo 23. Christian Watson GB
Christian Watson returned to the lineup in Week 8 after tearing his ACL late into the 2024 season. Despite coming off a brutal injury, Watson was electric. He supplanted Romeo Doubs as the WR1 in the Packers' offense. Watson was the WR17 in PPG (11.5) to go with a 34% air yard share (over 1,000 air yards). Hit career highs in yards and yards per route run. Never saw fewer than four targets in any contest. Watson led the NFL with 294 deep receiving yards once coming back from his injury.

DeVonta Smith Note
DeVonta Smith photo 27. DeVonta Smith PHI
A.J. Brown is as good as gone in Philly, even if it's post-draft. Dallas Goedert is returning on a one-year deal. DeVonta Smith has shown a fantasy WR1 ceiling when his teammates have missed time the last few seasons. Most recently, in Week 8 of the 2025 season, Smith went 6-84 yards on nine targets with AJB out of the lineup. He is an objectively good, if not great, WR...and his numbers are not truly indicative of his talent profile. He was more efficient than Brown was in 2025, while posting his third 1,000-yard season. More importantly, the Slim Reaper averaged career-high marks in yards per route run (3.1) and yards per target (11.9) when aligned out wide. Only Jaxon Smith-Njigba (3.8) and Puka Nacua (3.6) and have averaged more yards per route run when aligned out wide among 89 wide receivers to have logged at least 150 such routes.

Alec Pierce is going to get paid. He finished 2025 with career highs in catches (47), yards (1,003). But he was also solid in 2024 (827 yards on 37 receptions). Led the Colts in receiving yards for 2 straight years (and NFL in yards/reception).
Michael Pittman Jr./Josh Downs/Jonathan Taylor are entering the final years of their deals in 2026. Pierce could get a bag from the Colts or another team in free agency.

Ricky Pearsall Note
Ricky Pearsall photo 42. Ricky Pearsall SF
Buy Ricky Pearsall. Constantly injured in 2025. But he posted 4 games with 85-plus receiving yards. Also led the 49ers in receiving yards per game (59/game).
And although nobody will want to admit it, there is an immense opportunity for Pearsall in the 49ers' offense even with the addition of FA MIke Evans. Jauan Jennings is a free agent. Brandon Aiyuk is not coming back. George Kittle is coming off a torn Achilles. "If" the third-year WR can stay healthy, Slick Rick could be a major piece of winning fantasy football rosters in 2026.

Josh Downs Note
Josh Downs photo 56. Josh Downs IND
Josh Downs is good. PFF's 20th-highest graded WR in 2025. And for the second straight year...the Colts slot WR was hyper-targeted at a 24% clip. That led all Colts WRs and TEs in 2025. And he creates separation. Per Fantasy Points Data...Downs ranked 20th in average separation score. Downs has been limited because of a lack of high-end route participation, but a late-season route bump could suggest more of Downs in a full-time role in 2026....after the team traded Michael Pittman Jr. to the Steelers.

Early reports out of the Jags' camp are that Hunter will be more deployed at CB than at WR in 2026 based on the team's current needs at the position (CBs Greg Newsome II, Montaric Brown, and Christian Braswell are all on expiring contracts). Recall that the 2025 Jaguars offense took OFF without Hunter in the second half of the season.

Tyquan Thornton photo 101. Tyquan Thornton KC
Tyquan Thornton re-signed with the Chiefs on a two-year deal worth $11 million. This is notable given that only Xavier Worthy and Jalen Royals were the other Chiefs WRs under contract for the 2027 season.
The speedy wide receiver had his most productive season in the NFL last year, catching 19 passes for 438 yards and three touchdowns (on nearly 1,000 air yards and 23 deep targets). He stepped up at the start of the year due to Worthy's injury and Rashee Rice's suspension. Over the first 5 weeks of the year, Thornton averaged 10.3 fantasy points per game.
His 2025 yardage and touchdown totals set new career-highs, and he averaged 23.1 yards per reception (first in the NFL). Also had zero recorded drops.
