Guaranteed Human. Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Pros. This is the Fantasy Football Podcast. This is me, Joey P. Joe P. Zapier. And today we're going to take a look at the early ranks for 2026 because it's never too early to look ahead. Get a sense of where the early consensus rankings are falling. So we can start looking ahead to the 2026 fantasy football season we're going to break down all the positions here and you can find these ranks over

fantasy pros.com slash rankings and to help us go through and find maybe some differences of

opinion because we love a good debate here on the program jake silly from the athletic

Andrew ericsson of fantasy pros we're going to talk to the boys here get their takes on some of these players here we're going to talk to the boys here, get their

takes on some of these players here. We're going to start at the very top of the wide receiver.

So gentlemen, that number one spot right now, we have a pretty clear guy, Puka Nakua, actually,

believe it or not, goes to the top spot above Jamar Chase and above Jackson, Smith,

and Jigba. So that's your tier one guys right now. JSN coming off a fantastic season. Jamar Chase obviously missing Joe Burrow for a good chunk of the year. But Pooka Nakua gets Matthew Stafford back. So he has the top spot as of now. In tier number two, at number four, we have C.D. Lamb with the Dallas Cowboys. Amon Ross, St. Brown, Steady, at number five. Drake

at number six. We'll see what Kevin Stefanski brings to that new offense as he is the new head coach.

Malik neighbors coming back at number seven from a torn ACL. Justin Jefferson will see what

quarterback situation he has at number eight. Nico Collins at nine. Rushie Rice will not have Patrick Mahomes to open the season, but he is still top 10 here.

George Pickens off a great year at 11 and recently franchise tagged as well.

And then Chris Olave at 12, who had a very surprisingly good season as Tyler Shuck emerged last year.

So let's talk about these guys, Andrew Erickson.

Let's talk about some of the

differences here. And let's start with Chris Olava because you've got a difference of opinion on

that one. Yeah, I'm a little bit lower versus consensus on Chris Olav. I have him at wide

receiver 16 where he's ECR at wide receiver 12. I guess I'm just trying to stay grounded with my

take on Alave where not trying to just copy and paste exactly what he did last year, finishing as the wide receiver six and half PPR.

Because you look at the first couple of years of his career, he was a player that was going outside and finishing outside the top 20 wide receiver.

So he was really more of a wide receiver two.
