Fantasy Football 2026 Draft Sleepers: Tight Ends and Wide Receivers to Watch

Fantasy analysts identify two tight ends with top‑five potential for the 2026 season. Dallas tight end Dalton Schultz is praised for his high target share in Houston and his proven production when paired with quarterback C.J. Stroud. New York Giants tight end Isaiah Likely, backed by a three‑year, $40 million contract, is expected to become a leading fantasy option under the Giants' new offensive scheme.

The same experts also highlight six wide receivers as undervalued assets. Indianapolis Colts receiver Alec Pierce is projected to see a major increase in volume after securing a clear WR1 role. Pittsburgh Steelers’ Michael Pittman Jr. should lead the team in targets and provide strong scoring upside. Former Miami Dolphin Chris Bell, once sidelined by an ACL injury, is positioned as a potential WR1 if he returns to health. Green Bay Packers’ Matthew Golden and Las Vegas Raiders’ Jalen Nailor are noted for their breakout potential in expanded roles, offering high value at low draft cost.
