# Walt: In their 2026 fantasy football wide receiver rankings, they rank Pickens 11th through Adams 20th and provides projected receptions, receiving yards and fantasy points for each. **Claimed:** Aug 1, 2026 **Pundit:** Walt — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/walt **Outlet:** Walter Football — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/walter-football **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://walterfootball.com/fantasy2026widereceivers_2.php 31 checkable claims — 30 player season numbers and 1 fantasy ranking — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 19 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 9 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 6 and below it on 3. > DeVonta Smith is an inconsistent fantasy option with huge upside with A.J. Brown. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Terry McLaurin to record 172 fantasy points** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Terry McLaurin - Verdict: not settled yet - **Tee Higgins to record 175 fantasy points** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Tee Higgins, Cincinnati Bengals - Verdict: not settled yet - **George Pickens to record 1,250 receiving yards** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: George Pickens, Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: not settled yet - **Davante Adams to record 169 fantasy points** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Davante Adams, Los Angeles Rams - Verdict: not settled yet - **Chris Olave to record 84 receptions** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Chris Olave, New Orleans Saints - Verdict: not settled yet - **George Pickens to record 185 fantasy points** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: George Pickens, Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: not settled yet - **Chris Olave to record 1,120 receiving yards** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Chris Olave, New Orleans Saints - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jameson Williams to record 1,220 receiving yards** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Jameson Williams, Detroit Lions - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jameson Williams to record 71 receptions** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Jameson Williams, Detroit Lions - Verdict: not settled yet - **Terry McLaurin to record 1,120 receiving yards** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Terry McLaurin - Verdict: not settled yet - **Davante Adams to record 970 receiving yards** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Davante Adams, Los Angeles Rams - Verdict: not settled yet - **Garrett Wilson to record 81 receptions** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Garrett Wilson, New York Jets - Verdict: not settled yet - **Tee Higgins to record 80 receptions** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Tee Higgins, Cincinnati Bengals - Verdict: not settled yet - **Tee Higgins to record 1,210 receiving yards** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Tee Higgins, Cincinnati Bengals - Verdict: not settled yet - **Garrett Wilson to record 1,230 receiving yards** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Garrett Wilson, New York Jets - Verdict: not settled yet - **Malik Nabers to record 77 receptions** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Malik Nabers, New York Giants - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jameson Williams to record 176 fantasy points** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Jameson Williams, Detroit Lions - Verdict: not settled yet - **DeVonta Smith to record 86 receptions** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: DeVonta Smith, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Terry McLaurin to record 74 receptions** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Terry McLaurin - Verdict: not settled yet - **Christian Watson to record 1,150 receiving yards** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Christian Watson, Green Bay Packers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Garrett Wilson to record 177 fantasy points** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Garrett Wilson, New York Jets - Verdict: not settled yet - **Christian Watson to record 175 fantasy points** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Christian Watson, Green Bay Packers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Malik Nabers to record 175 fantasy points** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Malik Nabers, New York Giants - Verdict: not settled yet - **DeVonta Smith to record 1,230 receiving yards** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: DeVonta Smith, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - “2026 Fantasy Football Rankings - Wide Receivers: 11.
