The wide receiver position has become the one to target early in fantasy football drafts. This is still the case despite what was a down season for wideouts in 2025. Just one receiver finished in the top five overall, and only four were in the top 10. What’s more, a total of nine wideouts ranked in the top 25. This was due to a combination of injuries and unforeseen bad statistical seasons from a few elite players like CeeDee Lamb, Justin Jefferson and Drake London, to name a few.

Heading into 2026 drafts, managers should expect to see more of the same … plenty of wide receivers will come off the board in the first 60 picks as they await running backs who aren’t projected to see featured roles, quarterbacks (in traditional leagues) and tight ends. In fact, some teams could draft three wideouts before adding their first runner.

That said, here are my 2026 draft fantasy football wide receiver rankings … now with auction values! I’ll be updating these often throughout the summer, so keep checking back!

Note: Auction values are based on a $200 budget.
