Every fantasy football season, some players far outperform their expectations and draft value. It is especially common with wide receivers, and this year is not looking like an exception to that rule. These are the players being drafted as fantasy WR3s who have fantasy WR1 upside.
DJ Moore, Buffalo Bills
Moore looks like he's set to be Josh Allen's top target in 2026. While many of us still have PTSD from Amari Cooper and Keon Coleman, it's not fair to just write off Moore as a potential bust.
There is no doubt that if he steps up and sees WR1 targets from Allen, he could easily produce like a low-end WR1 this season. He's still just 29 years old, so we aren't ready to assume he's on the decline yet, even after a down season.
Mike Evans, San Francisco 49ers
