Kendall Valenzuela and Dwain McFarland finish the 2026 wide receiver tiers. Part 1 covered the WR1s (check it out here: https://youtu.be/fSvyvFbbTn0); this is everything after — from the high-upside WR2s all the way down to the late-round names where drafts are actually won. It starts with the tier that might matter most in your draft: Emeka Egbuka, Tetairoa McMillan, Ladd McConkey, Luther Burden III, Zay Flowers, Jaylen Waddle and Garrett Wilson. Then a group of proven veterans in new or changed situations — Mike Evans, Davante Adams, DJ Moore, Terry McLaurin and Chris Godwin — followed by the bet-on-the-leap names in Christian Watson, Jameson Williams and Rome Odunze. Jordyn Tyson and Carnell Tate get their own conversation, as do Brian Thomas Jr. and Marvin Harrison Jr., two guys whose draft prices and projections are further apart than you'd expect. From there it's the part of the board most people guess at. Parker Washington, Makai Lemon, Josh Downs, Jayden Reed, Quentin Johnston, Jordan Addison, Michael Wilson and Alec Pierce. Then Stefon Diggs, DK Metcalf, Courtland Sutton, Michael Pittman Jr. and Jakobi Meyers. Then Matthew Golden, Xavier Worthy, KC Concepcion, Jayden Higgins, Omar Cooper Jr., De'Zhaun Stribling, Denzel Boston and Travis Hunter. And finally the last-picks-of-the-draft group: Romeo Doubs, Wan'Dale Robinson, Deebo Samuel, Rashid Shaheed, Jalen Coker and Khalil Shakir. Dwain explains what separates each tier from the one above it, and Kendall pushes on the ones where the ranking doesn't match the price. If you're trying to figure out which late receiver is worth a real pick instead of a dart throw, this is the half of the board that decides it. Learn more about your ad choices.
