2026 Fantasy Football Rankings: Top-10 PPR Wide Receivers
Nacua, Chase, and JSN headline the early 2026 PPR WR class. Who else made Morgan's top-10 list?
With the Super Bowl more than a week out yet, it's a good time to continue putting together my early 2026 PPR fantasy football rankings for every position.
We have gone over quarterbacks and running backs so far, and now will be talking about wide receivers. Check back soon for the tight end ranking list.

1. Puka Nacua
Nacua is my top fantasy wide receiver for the 2026 season. He's actually my No. 1 pick overall right now.
Nacua had 1,715 receiving yards and 10 scores over 16 games this season. He had 1,820 total yards and 11 scores.
That's a big season, and he should be in line for another big season in 2026. The only thing that could jeopardize that is Matthew Stafford might not be back for the Rams.
Chase was the No. 3 fantasy wideout on average this season. I have him exceeding that in 2026.
He had 1,412 receiving yards and eight scores this year, and that was a down a good ways from his 2024 season, so he's definitely capable of more.
Chase should be an elite fantasy force again, as long as Joe Burrow is still around - or if Cincinnati lands another good quarterback.
Smith-Njigba was the No. 2 fantasy wideout on average this past season. I wanted to rank him higher, but I do have him slowing down just a bit in 2026.
JSN had over 1,800 total yards and 10 touchdowns across 17 games this season. He could offset less yardage with a couple more scores in the seasons to come, so that's why I don't see him falling off much.
He will be in the running for the top fantasy wideout, and should be pretty safely in the top-five wideouts.
St. Brown was the No. 4 fantasy wideout on average this season, and he accomplished that pretty quietly I think.
ARSB had over 1,400 total yards and 11 scores. It marks the third straight season in which he's reached double-digit scores. He's been over 1,200 total yards in four straight years.
St. Brown is about as consistent as they come right now, and there's nothing wrong with that since it's elite production. Draft him inside the top 10 and expect another big season from him.
5. CeeDee Lamb
Lamb had a bit of a down season, but only playing 14 games was part of the issue. He still was a high-end fantasy wideout this past year.
He had 1,079 total yards but just three touchdowns. I see him accomplishing more in 2026, even as he ages and if the Dallas offense looks the exact same.
Lamb might even be a bit underrated going into next season, so you might be able to get some great value out of him, even if he's still taken in the top-12 picks.
6. Malik Nabers
Nabers is probably a surprise to some of you, but he was an elite fantasy wide receiver before his injury this year.
Nabers got injured in the fourth week of the year. He had over 1,200 yards and seven scores as a rookie, and the team around him is better now, so Nabers could explode if he stays healthy all season.
He too might be underrated coming off the injury, but given he has plenty of time to heal/recover, I am going to be high on Nabers going into 2026. He has top-end potential, but you might be able to draft him outside the top 12.
7. Rashee Rice
Rice only got in eight games this season, but produced pretty well.
He finished with 591 total yards and six scores. Rice only played four games in 2024, so his durability is a bit of an issue.
Granted he gets a full season in 2026, and Patrick Mahomes doesn't miss too much time, I see Rice being a top-10 wideout pretty easily.
8. Drake London
London's 2025 season was hampered a bit by injuries, but he was good enough in his time on the field to expect more big things from him in 2026.
In 12 contests, London had 919 yards and seven touchdowns. He hadn't missed many games coming into this season, so I'm not too concerned about that either.
I feel good taking London eighth among receivers, but would worry that he could be a bit overrated next season. We'll have to see exactly what his average draft position is before determining if London is a good value pick or not.
9. Nico Collins
Collins gets my No. 9 spot among wide receivers for 2026.
In 15 games, he produced 1,132 yards and seven scores. Collins has been the top pass catcher in Houston for a while, and I don't see that changing in 2026.
If C.J. Stroud could take a step forward, or be closer to his rookie season, Collins has top-five wideout upside. No. 9 is where I like him for right now.
10. Justin Jefferson
Jefferson was in the running for the top fantasy wideout coming into this season, and I nearly dropped him out of my top 10.
He played in all 17 games, but had to scrap to reach 1,055 yards. Jefferson only scored two times.
Jefferson has huge bounceback potential, but I'm not buying it if J.J. McCarthy is his quarterback. We'll see how things look heading into next season, but I'm definitely down on Jefferson for now.
