Early 2026 Fantasy Rankings
Takeaways from the early WR rankings
-
Puka Nacua is comfortably the top receiver in my rankings after leading all wideouts in fantasy scoring this year with 19.3 points per game in half-PPR, which was over a full point more than Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who was in second. Now that we know the reigning 38-year-old MVP Matthew Stafford will be back next season, Nacua is set for another dominant effort. His 2025 campaign is even more impressive when you remember his teammate, Davante Adams, posted 14 touchdowns playing alongside him. There are no bad picks among the top three receivers, but Nacua has the early edge for 2026 drafts.

Malik Nabers continues to fall down my 2026 rankings after suffering a torn ACL and meniscus in late September. A full meniscus repair extends Nabers’ recovery timeline. Even though the target is for him to be back before training camp, we know players and teams can be overly optimistic about when injured stars will return to the field. When healthy, Nabers has top-five upside at his position, but he’ll need to be monitored all offseason to see if he can get back to WR1 form for Week 1.

Jalen Coker saved his best for last this season, putting up nine catches, 134 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets in the Panthers’ wild-card-round loss. The performance came after he took on a bigger role in the offense down the stretch and was the WR29 in fppg over the final six weeks of the regular season (if we include Week 18). Coker was a top-24 WR in three of his five contests during that span and will hopefully carry that momentum over to 2026 as the Panthers’ No. 2 option in the passing game.
