Jaylen Waddle - Denver Broncos
The Denver Broncos traded away a 1st, 3rd, and 4th round pick in order to acquire Jaylen Waddle this offseason from the Dolphins. Waddle walks into the Broncos locker room and is immediately their most explosive offensive weapon. When Waddle entered the league in 2021, he finished WR17 overall, and followed it up by finish as WR7 his sophomore season. If Waddle’s role in this Broncos offense is anything like what we saw from Michael Thomas in this Sean Payton offense, he could produce a top 12 WR finish.
Jameson Williams - Detroit Lions
Currently being drafted as WR26, Williams finished last season inside the top 12 wide receivers in fantasy. The Lions love throwing the ball, and with the fourth most passing attempts in 2025 with 578 attempts from Jared Goff, Williams saw 102 targets which was tied for 26th. He was hyper efficient with his targets in 2025. As the deep threat in the offense, Williams saw boom weeks and bust weeks, but in games where he saw 5 targets, he averaged 17 points per game. With Williams going as your flex option in round 5, the boom weeks are worth a couple bust weeks.
Christian Watson - Green Bay Packers
Christian Watson is one of the darkest horses to finish as a top 12 wide receiver in 2026. Watson gets a lot of hate for the injuries that he’s dealt with in the first few seasons in the league, but the hamstring issues seem to be behind him. The. Packers cleared out the receiver room letting Romeo Doubs walk and trading Dontayvian Wicks to the Eagles, and they signed Watson to a 4 year $92 million contract. They also bring in Wide Receivers Coach Noah Pauley who coached Watson at North Dakota State. The Packers are going all in on Christian Watson, and so am I.
