2026 Fantasy WR Rankings
The top 60 WRs for 2026 half-PPR leagues, ranked by our machine-learning model's projected fantasy points. Each projection comes with a calibrated 80% confidence interval — meaning 83% of actual outcomes fell inside our intervals in 2025 walk-forward testing.
Wide receiver projections live or die on target share and teammate competition. We explicitly encode prior-season teammate targets so when a star signs elsewhere, our model sees it. 33% MAE edge over ADP.

How to read this table
Proj Pts: half-PPR fantasy points our model expects over the full 2026 season. 80% CI: the interval 80% of actual outcomes should fall inside, based on 2025 calibration. A wide CI means more uncertainty — injury-prone players and rookies have wider intervals. ADP: half-PPR consensus average draft position from Fantasy Football Calculator. Risk: relative coefficient of variation (CI width / projection) bucketed into position quartiles.
What the model gets right that ADP misses
ADP is a wisdom-of-the-crowd signal — it reflects what drafters collectively think, not what actually happens. In our 2022-2025 walk-forward validation, consensus ADP explained only 9% of actual fantasy-point variance. Our model explained 59% — a 7× improvement.
The biggest gaps between model and ADP are surfaced on our Top Sleepers and Top Busts pages. The full War Room shows every player with filtering, VBD, scarcity, and draft-tracking.
