What we project for 2026

Our board has him at 150.4 points, 9.2 per game — 55.3 catches, 642 yards, 4.3 TDs. That is WR5, 124 overall.

The range runs from a floor of 6.3 points per game to a ceiling of 12.9, with the median at 9.2. Boom rate 40%, bust rate 31%. The spread is the actual bet, not the middle number.

He goes at 110.7 on consensus and our board has him 124. We rank him 13.3 picks worse than the room drafts him. At that distance it is a fade: we do not want him anywhere near his ADP.

The offense he plays in, 2026

Jacksonville Jaguars returns 5 of 6 continuity slots, replacing rb1. Trevor Lawrence at quarterback, Liam Coen as head coach, Grant Udinski calling it. The offense projects to 33.2 pass attempts a game at high confidence and 28.1 rushes.

In: CJ Williams (wr5), Josh Cameron (wr6), Bhaysul Tuten (rb1), Chris Rodriguez Jr. (rb2), DeeJay dallas (rb4), Nate Boerkircher (te2). Out: Travis Etienne Jr (rb1), Bhayshul Tuten (rb2), Johnny Mundt (te2).

His own projected target share for 2026 is 19.9%, with a bear case of 18.4% and a bull case of 21.6% and a full range of 17.6% to 21.9%. That comes from 29 historical comparables, not from a depth chart.

The projected target split across the offense:

Jakobi Meyers 19.9%
Brian Thomas Jr18.8%
Parker Washington14.5%
Brenton Strange11%
Nate Boerkircher8.8%
Josh Cameron6.8%

Our written view on this offense in 2026

Key additions: Chris Rodriguez Jr. signed 2 year deal (previously with commanders). Nate Boerkircher TE 2nd round. 2 6th round WR Josh Cameron & CJ Williams.

Key departures: Travis Etienne Jr. left Jacksonville for Saints in free agency.

Notes: Travis Etienne Jr. has left the Jaguars in free agency for the Saints. Opening door for Bhayshul Tuten to operate as team lead back. Jaguars sign Chris Rodriguez Jr. to 2 year deal from Commanders. Jaguars draft Nate Boerkircher (TE) in 2nd round and should cause competition for Brenton Strange. Also drafted Josh Cameron & CJ Williams both WR in the 6th round. Travis Hunter is expected to play more CB than WR in 2026, but we will need confirmation through camp (very bad for dynasty value if true). Brian Thomas Jr looks to return to his rookie form as a true WR1 but Jakobi Meyers may operate as the teams 1A. Parker Washington has potential to be massive contributor in 2026 if BTJ struggles continue.

How the volume number was reached: Same QB Trevor Lawrence returning — anchor to 2025 actuals (33.1 att/g); Regressed 30% toward league mean 33.5, floored at 30 → 33.2 att/g.

How that share projection was built

29 historical comps for WRs age ~?, prior share 22.9%, same team, OC continuity. Distribution: median 22.9%, p25-p75 [18.3%, 26.8%], tails [16.2%, 27.9%]. Closest comps: Darnell Mooney 2021→2022 (CHI: 23.1%→27.0%); Michael Pittman 2022→2023 (IND: 24.3%→30.4%); Michael Pittman 2021→2022 (IND: 21.9%→26.1%). Adjustment: -3% from mixed_decline (conflicting signals)

self-anchored 58% to own 22.9% role (3yr), 42% to comp median 22.9%

The named comps are the closest historical matches and the arrow is what their share actually did the following season. That is the working, not a summary of it — if you disagree with the projection, this is the part to argue with.

Offensive environment: JAX rates 22.4 against a league average of 23, 0.6 below it on opponent-adjusted least squares (multi-capture merge).

2026 schedule

Opponent-adjusted pass defense faced, against 2025 ratings. Positive is an easier slate.

Full season+3.5 · easier
Weeks 1–6-8.7 · harder
Weeks 12–17+11.3 · easier
Fantasy playoffs (15–17)+8.4 · easier

Read this narrowly. Our own testing found that season-long strength of schedule does not survive as a draft input — defensive quality is among the least stable team properties year to year, and a preseason slate is built on last year's identities. The playoff-weeks column is the only one we would let break a tie, and even then it is a tiebreaker rather than a reason. The finding.

Dynasty context not redraft

Everything in this section is about his dynasty trade value — what he is worth as a long-term asset in the trade market. It is not a forecast of his 2026 fantasy scoring. A player can be a fine redraft pick while his dynasty value falls, and the reverse. The redraft read is above; this is a different question with a different answer.

Where he sits in the dynasty value cycle

His dynasty value has moved -8.4% over the last twelve months. The market cycle classifies him as stable.

For context on how long this lasts at the position: the average career at his position produces 2.1 elite seasons and 2.6 startable seasons.

The five most similar seasons, and what their dynasty value did next

Matched on production profile — production-driven (pedigree ignored). The last column is how that player’s dynasty value moved the following year — a market outcome, not a scoring one.

Correlation between his posted line and his actual score0.51

That correlation is how closely the books’ posted line tracked what he actually scored, week to week. A higher number means the market has him figured out and there is less to exploit; a lower one means his weeks are harder to price.

Injury type matters more than games missed. Measured across our injury database, knee and foot returns stay below a player’s pre-injury baseline for all three of the first games back, while hamstring returns over-recover by the third.
