Welcome to Fantasy Football Championship Week. Congratulations if you are still alive. This will be the last week of my position preview; let’s go get a championship! While there will be plenty of content for those trying to win it all this week, I look to also take a look ahead this time of year to 2026. So you’ll still find waiver wire adds, numbers to know, and Week 17 DFS plays below like normal. But to start, I would like to offer a short overview as to what the position might look like in 2026.At wide receiver, there is definitely an elite tier at the top, but plenty of room for debate about who belongs in it. Puka Nacua, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Ja’Marr Chase are locks to be drafted in Round 1. Amon’Ra St. Brown and CeeDee Lamb likely will be as well. Drake London could be, depending on his QB situation. Rashee Rice could be, if Patrick Mahomes is healthy. Malik Nabers might be as well, but he’s probably a Round 2 guy with Nico Collins. Two names I haven’s said yet that could shape how we see the position in 2026 are George Pickens and Justin Jefferson. Jefferson has been a Round 1 mainstay, but his struggles with J.J. McCarthy and his current 11.7 PPR FPPG could keep him out of the first two rounds. Pickens is a free agent, but the most likely scenario seems to be that he stays in Dallas. Even that could go sideways if they franchise tag him and he holds out. Pickens has outscored Lamb by 2.6 points per game this year. If he’s back and bought in, both Lamb and Pickens could go in Round 2. If Pickens is gone, he is a complete wild card, and Lamb is probably back in Round 1.Here is the rest of the Week 17 WR Preview:
