Short post, but wanted to send out the rankings tool, which is back for 2026. Like the last couple years, you can click to cross out names in real time, as an interactive cheat sheet. It has Targets, Fades, tiers. You can download a .csv of the rankings.

What’s new for this year is you don’t need to save the link, just use a code to gain access on your device, which will keep you logged in for a period of time. The link for the location should be easy to remember. The tool can be found at:

Here are a couple of updates before I drop the access code at bottom of this post:

  • On increased positive buzz, elevated Parker Washington and made him a Target.

  • Dropped Ladd McConkey and made him a Fade. Jim Harbaugh said “I have [Tre Harris] right there with Ladd and [Quentin Johnston] as our top guys.” I’m not taking that literally, or putting them at the same ADP or anything, but the bull case for Lade has required increased work in 2026, with a path to consolidating stuff and things looking more like 2024 looked for him, despite a bunch of other good pass-catchers in the offense. That just doesn’t seem to be where we’re headed, and he’s going extremely high. A discussion where he’s the best bet in a crowded WR room should put him much lower; it’s very comparable to the Parker Washington conversation, from where I sit. I think Ladd is a very tough play at cost.
