Expert
Andrew Erickson FantasyPros	Puka Nacua further cemented himself as one of the NFL's premier receivers in 2025, finishing as fantasy football's overall WR1 after averaging more than 107 receiving yards per game. The Rams star dominated targets and efficiency alike, leading all wide receivers in yards per route run while setting career-high counting stats across the board. Even with Davante Adams siphoning red-zone opportunities, Nacua still delivered elite touchdown production and week-winning consistency. At just 25 years old in pursuit of a new contract, Nacua belongs firmly in the conversation for the WR1 overall again in 2026 (injuries and off-field issues aside).	Tee Higgins continues to thrive as Cincinnati's high-end No. 2 option, finishing as the WR12 overall in 2025 thanks to strong efficiency and double-digit touchdown production. Even with a modest target share, Higgins maximizes his opportunities in one of the NFL's premier passing offenses led by Joe Burrow. His weekly ceiling remains extremely high, especially near the end zone, although Ja'Marr Chase's presence naturally caps Higgins' overall target volume. As long as he stays healthy, Higgins profiles once again as a reliable fantasy WR2 with league-winning upside if Chase ever misses time.
Derek Brown FantasyPros	Last year, Puka Nacua took Ja'Marr Chase's throne as the WR1 in fantasy points per game, and he could repeat as the top dog this year among wide receivers. Last year, Nacua was third in raw target volume, first in receptions, second in receiving yards, 23rd in deep targets, and 12th in red zone targets (tied). Nacua was fourth in target share (28.8%), first in receiving yards per game (107.2), first in yards per route run (3.85), and fourth in first-read share (37.5%, per Fantasy Points Data). If all of that wasn't enough, he was also sixth-best in separation and route win rate. Nacua is a volume-gobbling stud who could easily repeat as the WR1 overall if Matthew Stafford keeps dealing at an MVP (or near) level in 2026.	Over the last two seasons, Tee Higgins has been the WR13 and WR5 in fantasy points per game. Last season, with Joe Burrow under center in Weeks 14-18, Higgins had an 18.8% target share with 67.8 receiving yards per game, 2.20 yards per route run, a 25.6% first-read share, and 0.106 first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Those are all incredibly impressive per-route metrics. For context, if Higgins had kept up that pace for an entire season with Burrow, he would have ranked 12th in receiving yards per game, 19th in yards per route run, 28th in first-read share, and 17th in first downs per route run among wideouts (minimum 200 routes). Higgins is a strong bet for fantasy again this season. If Joe Burrow can stay healthy this season, Higgins should be a locked-in top-15 wideout with WR1 upside again.
