A lot of young wide receivers are making their rise to the top 10 of the wide receiver rankings. Here are the top 10 dynasty wide receiver rankings entering the 2026 season.
Dynasty Wide Receiver Rankings Top 10
10. George Pickens
George Pickens signed a franchise tag to stay in Dallas after having a career year in his first season with the Cowboys in 2025. He finished as the WR5, having 93 receptions for 1429 receiving yards and nine touchdowns. This easily tops his best season in Pittsburgh, which was the WR30. Pickens is just 25 years old, so he is still very young for a player entering his fifth season. Dynasty managers are hoping that Pickens and the Cowboys can agree on a long-term deal to keep him paired up with quarterback Dak Prescott and an elite Dallas offense, putting Pickens in tenth place in the dynasty wide receiver rankings.
9. Tetairoa McMillan
The eighth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft and the defending Offensive Rookie of the Year, Tetairoa McMillan, ranks ninth on the list. He finished as the WR16 in his rookie campaign, surpassing 1000 receiving yards and scoring seven touchdowns on 70 receptions. That reception number should go up next season with another year under the belt to generate chemistry with Bryce Young. McMillan has a very bright future ahead of him, with the best still yet to come.
8. Malik Nabers
The most challenging player to rank in this top 10 is Giants superstar receiver Malik Nabers. Nabers is the youngest player on this list, about to turn just 23 years old. After an excellent rookie campaign, Nabers finished as the WR6, catching 109 passes for 1204 receiving yards with poor quarterback play. Fantasy managers and Giants fans were excited to watch him play with rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, but Nabers tore his ACL in Dart’s first start.
Nabers has not had an easy and clear recovery from the injury, so he might not be ready for Week 1. Additionally, players usually take time to get back to full strength after an ACL injury, which makes Nabers difficult to rank.
If Nabers were fully healthy, he would be inside the top five of the dynasty wide receiver rankings. Dynasty managers will have to be patient with Nabers, but expect him to get back to full strength at some point during the 2026 season.

7. Drake London
Drake London ranks seventh on the dynasty wide receiver rankings list after reaching a four-year extension to stay in Atlanta through 2030. London battled injuries in 2025, only getting into 12 games after finishing as the WR5 in 2024. When London was out there, he had a 30.4% target share and a 36.6% red zone target share, good for third in the NFL.
The Falcons do have some quarterback questions with the injury to Michael Penix Jr., who is unlikely to start the season. Instead, Tua Tagovailoa will begin the season as the starter. Tagovailoa has shown he can get the ball to his weapons, De’Von Achane, Tyreek Hill, and Jaylen Waddle, which is what he will try to do with Bijan Robinson, Kyle Pitts, and London. The Falcons offense should be one of the better ones for the next half-decade with this young core of players, so London will have plenty of scoring and fantasy points opportunities.
6. CeeDee Lamb
CeeDee Lamb’s streak of three consecutive seasons with a top-10 finish came to an end in 2025, as he finished as the WR22 in just 14 games played. He was the WR11 in points per game at 14.4.
Fellow Cowboys receiver Pickens took a lot of targets away from Lamb and finished with just a 23.1% target share, which is 4% lower than what it was in 2024. As mentioned above, Pickens will be playing this season for the Cowboys, but he will be a free agent, while Lamb is signed through 2028. Lamb should bounce back this season and, in the next few years, be tied to Prescott and the elite Cowboys offense.
5. Amon-Ra St. Brown
The sun-god, Amon-Ra St. Brown, has three consecutive seasons as the WR3 in both PPR and half-PPR leagues. He should be nicknamed Mr. Consistency with that production. The Lions have one of the most fantasy-friendly offenses in the league with St. Brown, Jahmyr Gibbs, Jameson Williams, and Jared Goff, while playing in a dome. Expect many more top-10 and top-five finishes for St. Brown over the next half-decade, ranking him as fifth in the dynasty wide receiver rankings entering the 2026 season.
4. Jaxon Smith-Njigba
Jaxon Smith-Njigba broke out in 2025, finishing as the WR2 after his WR9 finish the year prior. He had 119 receptions for 1793 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns on his way to helping the Seahawks win the Super Bowl.
The Seahawks extended him in the offseason to keep him in Seattle through the 2031 season with a massive contract. Although some negative regression is to be expected from his great 2025 season, JSN’s talent will play out and lead to a great career.
3. Justin Jefferson
Justin Jefferson’s streak of six straight seasons with 1000 receiving yards to begin his career continued in 2025, although barely, with terrible quarterback play for the Vikings. He finished as the WR21, despite playing in all 17 games. The only other time in his career when he finished outside the top 10 was in 2023, when he finished as the WR33 in just 10 games.
The Vikings added Kyler Murray to give J.J. McCarthy some quarterback competition. The quarterback play has to be better in Minnesota in 2026, so Jefferson will bounce back. He is 27 years old and is ultra-talented and ranks third in the dynasty wide receiver rankings.

2. Puka Nacua
Puka Nacua put on a show in 2025, finishing as the WR1, scoring 375 fantasy points. He had 129 receptions for 1715 yards and 10 receiving touchdowns. He added over 100 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown as well. Nacua led receivers in receptions, yards after the catch, fantasy points per game, yards per route run, and fantasy points per route.
Nacua is 25 years old, but there will be quarterback questions in Los Angeles once Matthew Stafford retires. The Rams drafted Ty Simpson with the 13th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, but he has a lot to learn and improve on before being trusted as the starter. The longer Stafford plays, the better it is for Nacua, but he will produce with any quarterback.
1. Ja’Marr Chase
Nacua had a great 2025 season, but Ja’Marr Chase had an even better 2024 season, scoring 403 fantasy points, mostly because he had 17 touchdowns. That regressed to just eight in 2025, and he finished as the WR4, his third top-five finish in five seasons to begin his career. There is not much to say about Chase as he is the best wide receiver in the game, talent-wise, and is on an elite offense in Cincinnati. Expect a lot more great seasons for Chase in the years to come, putting him as number one in the top 10 dynasty wide receiver rankings.
