The 2026 fantasy football season is shaping up with a mix of proven veterans and rising stars at wide receiver. From Garrett Wilson to Romeo Doubs, these players offer key fantasy value in the 21-40 range. Here’s how they stack up heading into the season.
Garrett Wilson (Jets) is projected to see a slight boost with Geno Smith at quarterback. After a rocky first half and a mid-season injury, Wilson is expected to catch 81 balls for 1,090 yards and 8 touchdowns. Fantasy points: 157.
Terry McLaurin (Redskins) is coming off a holdout season, but a healthy Jayden Daniels could help him rebound. He’s projected to catch 74 passes for 1,020 yards and 9 touchdowns. Fantasy points: 156.
Mike Evans (49ers) missed half the season last year but showed flashes of his old form. He’s projected to catch 65 balls for 960 yards and 8 touchdowns. Fantasy points: 154.
Emeka Egbuka (Buccaneers) struggled in the second half of 2025, but with Mike Evans gone, he could thrive. Egbuka is projected to catch 73 balls for 1,040 yards and 8 touchdowns. Fantasy points: 152.
Christian Watson (Packers) has big-play potential but is injury-prone. He’s expected to catch 60 balls for 1,040 yards and 8 touchdowns. Fantasy points: 152.
