Today we are ranking and tiering the top 24 fantasy football wide receivers for 2026.

0:05.6

We're breaking down the biggest names plus a few that your league mates are severely undervaluing.

0:11.6

Let's go.

0:15.9

Welcome into the live fantasy football show. I'm Mitch Anderson.

0:19.7

I'm Justin Mello.

0:22.6

And Mello training camp is officially here, which means I think it's time for us to do our first true re-draft rankings of the

0:28.3

summer. So without further ado, I'm going to let you get into the number one wide receiver for

0:32.7

fantasy football in 2026. Yeah, no surprises here. Don't think we have to spend that much time on it. It's Jamar Chase. Yeah. You have an elite talent, an elite passerer at quarterback, an elite fantasy environment, elite volume. I'm saying the word elite so much. It doesn't even sound like a real word anymore. But really, what else can you ask for with Jamar Chase? He has the safest floor of any fantasy

0:54.6

receiver just as high of a ceiling as any fantasy receiver. We saw that ceiling just a couple of years

0:59.5

ago when he went absolutely nuclear in 2024. He's got to be the first receiver off the board.

1:05.5

Yeah, like he said, Triple Crown winner back in 2024. He averaged 21 and a half fantasy

1:09.8

points per game last year in PPR

1:11.5

with Joe Burrow when healthy. And even with Burrow down, he's playing with Flacco and whatever on

1:16.8

earth you want to call that Jake Browning experience. Still finishes the wide receiver four overall and

1:21.7

wide receiver three in points per game. I feel like it's a no-brainer. This is a guy that's just

1:26.0

always open mellow. He's always open. You plan that. I had to wear my Jamar Chase shirt for this one. But let's get into our second guy. This is another guy that, I mean, if you leave your draft with him, you're going to be really happy. And that's Pooka Nakua. Picking Pooka Nakuwa is not going to bite you in the ass. He might bite you in the shoulder, but this is last year's wide receiver one, still attached to Matthew Stafford. All of the talk from

1:49.1

last season and rightfully so was the emergence of JSN, but Puka scored a full 1.7 points per game

1:55.3

more than JSN. He's got no coordinator change like JSN who loses Clint Kubiak, and he should

2:00.8

slot right back into the same role that made him the wide receiver 6, the wide receiver 3, and then the wide receiver 1 in points per game throughout his young career. How can you not love Pooka Nakua? How can you not be romantic about Pooka Nakua? How can you not be romantic about Pooka Nakua? I know I mentioned Jumar's got to be the first receiver off the board. Puka to me is the only guy I'll accept an argument even over Jammar because Puka himself is also an elite receiver. He also has an elite passer. I just have him a hair lower. I'm not too concerned with the off the field stuff. You mentioned the bitten shoulder type of antics. That doesn't really

2:35.6

scare me, but it is in the back of my mind. And it also just isn't fun on Sundays when he visits

2:40.6

the blue medical tent so frequently you would think he has relatives living there. That's not a good

2:44.9

feeling. But I still love Pukunakua so much. He is so good, and he still should be the second
