The 2026 fantasy football season is shaping up with a number of wide receivers in the 41-60 range who are worth keeping an eye on. While most aren’t locks for starting lineups, they offer enough upside or situational value to make a difference in deeper leagues. Brian Thomas, Tre’ Harris, and Tyreek Hill are among the names to monitor as we get closer to Week 1.
Brian Thomas, WR, Jaguars:
Thomas enters 2026 with a chance to rebound after a disappointing 2025 season. He’s projected for 62 catches, 920 yards, and 6 touchdowns, which would give him 128 fantasy points. His 2024 rookie campaign showed flashes of elite athleticism, and with a more consistent Jaguars offense, he could push for a top-30 finish.
Tre’ Harris, WR, Chargers:
Harris took advantage of Keenan Allen’s departure and is now the top target for a young Bolts offense. His numbers are similar to Thomas, 61 catches, 820 yards, 6 TDs, but his role is more secure. His 2025 surge down the stretch proves he can handle the workload.
Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Cardinals:
Despite his talent, Harrison regressed in 2025 and is a risky pick. He’s projected for 60 catches and 920 yards, but his inconsistency makes him a late-round flier. His 2024 rookie season was promising, but he needs to show more reliability.
Ricky Pearsall, WR, 49ers:
Pearsall was a standout in 2024 before injuries derailed his 2025 campaign. He’s projected for 64 catches and 880 yards, but with just 4 touchdowns. His health is the biggest concern, but if he stays on the field, he could be a top-40 WR.
Rashid Shaheed, WR, Seahawks:
Shaheed is a deep threat who was underutilized in 2025. He’s expected to see more volume with Seattle’s new coaching staff and is projected for 63 catches and 860 yards. His 5 touchdowns give him a safety net in fantasy leagues.
Tyreek Hill, WR, :
Hill’s 2025 season was derailed by a devastating knee injury. He’s projected for just 53 catches and 720 yards, with 4 touchdowns. Fantasy owners should be cautious, but if he stays healthy, his talent remains elite.
Deebo Samuel, WR, Redskins:
Samuel had a bounce-back season in 2025 but still played with Marcus Mariota for much of the year. He’s projected for 60 catches, 730 yards, and 5 touchdowns. His situation is still uncertain as a free agent, but if he lands on a good team, he could be a steal.
Tank Dell, WR, Texans:
Dell’s 2024 injury kept him out of the 2025 season entirely. He’s projected for 48 catches and 690 yards, but his 4 touchdowns make him a situational fantasy asset. His return could help Houston’s offense in a big way.
