15 Bold Predictions for 2026, One Would Break an NFL Record

15 Bold Predictions for the 2026 Fantasy Season

1. A.J. Brown struggles in New England and finishes outside the top 24 WRs.

2. Garrett Wilson. Simply the best QB he's ever had. 120 receptions, 1,400 yards, 10 touchdowns, a legitimate WR1 season.

3. KC Concepcion is a PPR goldmine in Cleveland. 85 receptions, over 1,000 yards, this year's rookie WR gem.

4. Pittsburgh doesn't have a single WR finish inside the top 30.

5. Parker Washington, not Bhayshul Tuten, is the real star in Jacksonville this year. 90 receptions, 1,400 yards, 12 touchdowns.

6. Jonah Coleman is too talented to stay third on the depth chart. He emerges in the second half, 1,300 all-purpose yards, 10 touchdowns, and carries fantasy teams into the playoffs.

7. The Mike McDaniel union elevates Justin Herbert to QB1 overall this season. So many weapons to choose from, and with the Chargers scoring an NFL-high 36 points per game, Herbert moves into the upper echelon this year.

8. Malik Nabers breaks the NFL's single-season targets record. Rob Moore's held it since 1997 at 209. Nabers hits 225, because the Giants have no choice but to funnel the offense through him behind a limited backfield.

9. Dallas Goedert is the primary beneficiary of A.J. Brown's departure. 75 receptions, 10 touchdowns, vaulting him into top-4 TE status.

10. Drake London rivals Justin Jefferson's bust season from last year. Outside the top 24 WRs behind putrid QB play in Atlanta.

11. Luther Truthers are born. Burden does his best Amon-Ra impression in Ben Johnson's high-flying offense. 120 receptions, 1,500 yards.

12. Kyren Williams' wheels fall off. Blake Corum takes over in the second half and carries fantasy teams into the playoffs behind 24 points per game over his final 8.

13. This Baker Mayfield Kid. No Mike Evans, a fourth offensive coordinator in four years, left off multiple Top 100 lists entirely. Doesn't matter. 4,500+ yards, 40+ touchdowns, 5 more on the ground. The doubters get silenced, again!

14. Jadarian Price outscores former Irish backfield mate Jeremiyah Love, finishing as this class's second-best rookie back, behind Jonah Coleman.

15. Christian McCaffrey finishes outside the top 30 RBs., I've said all I need to say about this in my last briefing.
