Rich Hribar · Jul 30, 2026
In his 2026 fantasy WR tiers, Hribar places Ja'Marr Chase, Puka Nacua, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jaxon Smith-Njigba in Tier 1 as the four receivers with the best chance to finish as the overall WR1, and names St. Brown his favorite first-round pick after Jahmyr Gibbs, Bijan Robinson, Chase and Nacua. He also expects Smith-Njigba to lead Seattle in targets again despite anticipated regression.
“We are starting with the four players who I believe have the best odds at finishing as this year's WR1 overall.”
