Dynasty WR Rankings 2026 (Wide Receiver)

Updated on Mon, 9 Feb 2026

These 2026 Dynasty WR Rankings build off our award-winning projections.

We take a weighted average of each player’s projection for this season plus his past two years of actual production. From there, we generate three-year, five-year, and 10-year projections to help assess each player’s long-term outlook.

Plus, you’ll find two decades of NFL research combined with a series of machine-learning models to deliver aging curves and expected retirement rates specific to every WR archetype.

The result: The clearest possible picture of a player’s current and long-term value.

Tier 1
1	Ja'Marr Chase J Chase CIN WR1	1.01	10	25.9	213	651	1,055	1,949	Chase took a slight step backward after his triple crown in 2024, but he navigated a 2025 with Joe Burrow missing most of the season. He finished the season as the WR3 in PPR points per game at 19.7 and that felt closer to his floor than ceiling. With a healthy Burrow, Chase will challenge for the top WR yearly for most of his career.	91

Tier 2
2	Justin Jefferson J Jefferson MIN WR2	1.02	6	26.6	175	598	971	1,779	Jefferson had the worst season of his career in 2025. He finished as WR31 in PPR points per game at 11.9 in a season where he saw J.J. McCarthy, Carson Wentz, and Max Brosmer at QB. Jefferson did end up with his seventh straight 1,000 yard receiving season, but his connection with McCarthy gives some worry for the future. Jefferson is still an uber talented 26 year old WR, but the situation knocks him down a few spots in the WR rankings.	77

3	Jaxon Smith-Njigba J Smith-Njigba SEA WR3	3.01	8	23.9	203	578	942	1,740	JSN took another step forward in his third season, finishing as WR2 in PPR points per game at a hefty 21.3. Even on a Seahawks offense that wanted to lean on the run, JSN was still dominant. His route running and athleticism leave him open on most passing plays, which led to 163 targets from Sam Darnold. At only 23-years old, JSN is one of the top players in dynasty.	76

Matthew Stafford pelted him 166 targets as the focal point for the entire Rams' offense. He is locked in as a top WR dynasty option at only 24 years old. There is long term uncertainty with the QB situation that does push Nacua away from being the top dynasty WR however.	74

5	CeeDee Lamb C Lamb DAL WR5	1.06	10	26.8	197	575	929	1,693	Lamb shared the spotlight with George Pickens, but he was still productive. He finished as WR10 in PPR points per game at 15.5, ceding some work with Pickens. Lamb did have a short stint on IR in 2025 after an AC joint sprain, but he is a consistent fantasy presence when on the field. At only 26, Lamb should be a fantasy mainstay for a long time.	73

6	Malik Nabers M Nabers NYG WR6	1.05	14	22.5	156	545	923	1,801	Nabers began the season with 25 targets in the first two games, but a torn ACL cut his season short. With speculation that the injury could limit him early next year, Nabers could have a cold fantasy stretch. His talent is undeniable, and now he is paired with a great young QB in Jaxson Dart. Nabers is a great long term investment.	70

7	Amon-Ra St. Brown A St. Brown DET WR7	1.09	8	26.3	204	554	892	1,624	The Lions faltered in 2025, but St. Brown kept producing. He ranked fourth in PPR points per game at 19.1. He also ranked second in the league in targets at 172. With Jared Goff locked in for the next few years, St. Brown should stick as a top-12 WR going forward.	69

8	Drake London D London ATL WR8	2.06	5	24.5	181	541	890	1,703	London started the season hot but missed four games with a PCL strain. He still ended as the WR8 in PPR points per game at 16.8. He flashed his upside with an 8-113-3 game in early November, showcasing just how dominant London can be. With Kyle Pitts set to be a free agent, London could see even more targets in 2026. He should be a top-12 WR option for the forseeable future.	68

9	Nico Collins N Collins HOU WR9	2.02	6	26.8	191	543	880	1,626	Collins ended as the WR11 in PPR points per game in 2025 with 15.1. The general struggles of the Texans' offense created a volatile season, but Collins came on late with both QBs Davis Mills and C.J. Stroud. He was a top-12 WR in a struggling offense, so the potential for even better exists over the next few years.	67

10	George Pickens G Pickens UNS WR10	6.02	18	24.9	170	491	805	1,512	Coming off his best season (93/1,429/9), Pickens is set to hit free agency. At 25, he'll be one of the top WRs on the open market, but could also be franchise tagged by the Cowboys. A long-term extension in Dallas might be the best-case scenario for Pickens' dynasty value, but he could also cash in as a No. 1 WR for several teams. Just entering his prime, Pickens is an ascending talent with a ton of fantasy appeal.	56

11	Tetairoa McMillan T McMillan CAR WR11	3.11	14	22.8	149	466	789	1,540	McMillan had a successful first season ending as the WR23 in fantasy points per game with 12.6. The Panthers leaned run heavy with QB Bryce Young struggling to provide consistency to the passing game, but McMillan was the clear No. 1 on the team. He flashed excellent body control and improved as the season went on. There is star top-12 potential with McMillan at only 22 years old.	52

12	Rashee Rice R Rice KC WR12	4.06	10	25.8	197	455	743	1,366	Rice started 2025 with a six-game suspension and ended the season on IR with a concussion. In his eight games played, he was consistently targeted by Patrick Mahomes, ending as the WR5 in PPR points per game at 18.5. Outside of injury risk, Rice appears to be the clear No. 1 WR on the Chiefs, and the scheme has been built to utilize his talents. Off-field issues could wreck his career, though, and that risk should be taken into account.	49

13	Jameson Williams J Williams DET WR13	6.03	8	24.8	149	445	725	1,314	It took Dan Campbell's play-calling to finally unlock Williams, but he showed promise once he became a featured part of Detroit's offense. Once Campbell began calling plays, Williams averaged 16.1 PPR points per game (WR5) and posted three of his four 100-plus yard performances. Williams remains an elite deep threat, but he also ran the fifth-most routes. Williams has improved every season and showcased why he should be an important part of Detroit's new offense. Up next: A WR1 finish.	42

14	A.J. Brown A Brown PHI WR14	2.11	9	28.6	171	442	708	1,258	Brown posted his fourth consecutive season with 1,000-plus yards. He also scored 7 TDs for the third-straight season, but his overall fantasy scoring dropped by two points per game. Overall, Brown is still in his prime and locked into Philadelphia through the 2029 season. He remains a quality WR 2 with top-5 weekly upside.	42

15	Tee Higgins T Higgins CIN WR15	3.12	10	27	163	442	707	1,258	2025 was another strong season for Higgins. He topped double-digit TDs for the second consecutive year and ranked as the WR16, averaging 14.0 PPR points per game. However, he missed three games with concussions -- the fourth time in five seasons that he's missed multiple games. The Bengals are running it back in 2026, so Higgins remains an excellent WR2 who should continue to post reliable WR1/2 numbers when healthy.	41

16	Emeka Egbuka E Egbuka TB WR16	5.09	9	23.3	140	405	715	1,421	Egbuka got off to a hot start, averaging 16.1 PPR points per game and ranking inside the top-10 WRs in the first 10 weeks of his rookie season. However, he would only top 50 yards once and didn't score a TD in Tampa's final eight games. Those first 10 games show Egbuka's potential. With Mike Evans potentially leaving as a free agent, Egbuka will be in a position to open his sophomore campaign as the Buccaneers' No. 1 WR. Tampa will have a new offense next season, but Egbuka's strong rookie showing puts him near the dynasty WR1 range.	41

17	Zay Flowers Z Flowers BAL WR17	5.03	7	25.3	163	429	692	1,209	It wasn't a good season for the Ravens, but Zay Flowers set career-best marks in targets (118), catches (86), and yards (1,211) en route to his first top-10 finish. There will be a new staff in Baltimore, but Flowers is locked into the No. 1 WR role. Flowers has improved in each of his three seasons and still has room to grow. Target him as a solid dynasty WR2 with upside, especially if the Ravens bring in an offensive-minded head coach.	38

18	Chris Olave C Olave NO WR18	6.11	11	25.6	173	413	674	1,240	Olave played 16 games for only the second time in his career and had his best showing, catching 100 balls for 1,163 yards and 9 TDs in his first season in Kellen Moore's offense. All three of Olave's 100-yard games came with Tyler Shough under center in the second half of the season. That gives Olave encouraging momentum heading into his age-26 season. He remains a strong WR2 with weekly top-10 upside.	38

19	Makai Lemon M Lemon RK WR19	N/A	18	21.7	122	409	693	1,352	Lemon may be the best contested catcher in the draft despite only sitting at 5'11 and 195 pounds. He was utilized in the slot and outside at USC on his way to winning the Biletnikoff Award this season. Lemon's ball tracking and explosiveness after the catch makes him a dangerous weapon. He could be a PPR machine in the NFL and a high first round pick.	38

20	Jaylen Waddle J Waddle MIA WR20	6.12	12	27.2	149	425	678	1,208	Tyreek Hill missed most of the 2025 season, but Waddle's number still trailed his production from his first three seasons. Now, the Dolphins will bring in a new regime, and that will almost certainly mean a new QB and offense. Hill is unlikely to be ready at the beginning of 2026, so Waddle could be Miami's No. 1 WR. However, there is uncertainty about the Dolphins' future as they begin a new era. There is risk with Waddle until we get clarity on Miami's offensive direction in 2026.	37

21	Ladd McConkey L McConkey LAC WR21	2.07	12	24.2	146	415	686	1,229	The sophomore slump hit McConkey hard. Added target competition was the main catalyst in his decline, but his usage also changed. After running posting an impressive 2.4 yards per route run as a rookie, McConeky fell to 1.2 yards per route run in Year Two. Keenan Allen also out-targted McConkey in 2025, but Allen is a free agent, so there's reason to think McConkey can rebound in 2026. He's still a talented 24-year-old WR, making him a solid 'buy low' candidate.	37

Tate knows how to beat the press and isn't afraid to make tough catches over the middle. His height and range makes Tate a potential top-15 NFL Draft pick who can immediately make a fantasy impact.	36

He started off hot in 2025 wit 7 TDs in the first 5 games. Tyson has good size and after the catch ability. He can win contested catches and also be used in the screen game. Tyson's athleticism and savvy route running could make him a top-10 pick. He does have a long injury history, tearing his ACL/PCL/MCL in 2022, breaking a collarbone in 2024, and hamstring issues costing him four games in 2025.	34

24	DeVonta Smith D Smith PHI WR25	4.09	9	27.2	148	404	654	1,170	Smith topped 1,000 yards for the third time in four seasons, but his target rate fell from 28.6% (7th) to 24.3% (17th). He also had a career-low four TDs. A.J. Brown's health played a factor in the usage dip, but that encompasses Smith- he's a good No. 2 WR, but tends to be an erratic week-to-week producer. Overall, Smith is a quality WR2/3, but won't get the volume or TDs to approach WR1 numbers.	33

25	Garrett Wilson G Wilson NYJ WR24	3.06	9	25.5	139	400	656	1,233	The Jets finished last in passing (140.3 yards per game) and 29th in scoring (17.6 points per game), and Wilson's production plummeted. Injuries also contributed, as Wilson sprained his knee in Week 6, then re-injured it in Week 11. When he played, Wilson averaged 8.4 targets per game, which wasn't far off from last year's average of 9.0. Before 2025, Wilson had not missed a game or failed to surpass 140 targets or 1,000 receiving yards in any season. He's still a dynamic talent entering his prime, but landing a legitimate QB will be paramount for Wilson's immediate and long-term value.	33
