What we project for 2026

Our board has him at 71.2 points, 4.3 per game — 27.2 catches, 332 yards, 1.8 TDs. That is WR6, 263 overall.

The range runs from a floor of 2.5 points per game to a ceiling of 12, with the median at 4.3. Boom rate 99%, bust rate 42%. The spread is the actual bet, not the middle number.

The offense he plays in, 2026

Philadelphia Eagles returns 4 of 6 continuity slots, replacing wr1, oc. Jalen Hurts at quarterback, Nick Sirianni as head coach, Sean Mannion calling it. The offense projects to 31 pass attempts a game at medium confidence and 27.4 rushes.

In: Makai Lemon (wr2), Marquise Brown (wr3), Dontayvion Wicks (wr4), Elijah Moore (wr6), Quez Watkins (wr7), Dameon Pierce (rb4), Eli Stowers (te2). Out: AJ Brown (wr1), Britain Covey (wr3), Johnny Wilson (wr4), Grant Calcaterra (te2).

His own projected target share for 2026 is 6.3%, with a bear case of 4.9% and a bull case of 7.2% and a full range of 3.2% to 8.5%. That comes from 29 historical comparables, not from a depth chart.

The projected target split across the offense:

Devonta Smith17.8%
Dallas Goedert17.4%
Makai Lemon17.1%
Elijah Moore10%
Eli Stowers8.9%
Saquon Barkley6.6%

Our written view on this offense in 2026

What the offense looks like: If the Eagles can get their offense humming again, this is an offense you want to own a lot of players in. They can produce at a very high level for you. Hurts in particular regardless of play will be a top QB because of the tush push.

Key additions: Drafted WR Makai Lemon 1st round. Traded for Packers WR Dontayvion Wicks, Signed Hollywood Brown. Drafted TE Eli Stowers (great passing catching TE)

Key departures: AJ Brown. He is going to be traded to the Patriots in June 2026.

Notes: AJ Brown is going to be traded to the Patriots. He will not be on the team. Devonta Smith is primed to BREAKOUT as a WR1 IF he can maintain target share. Drafted Makai Lemon Round 1, Eli Stowers (great receiving TE who was also scouted as WR). Eagles also traded for Dontayvion Wicks from Packers who is a talented WR but hasn't put it all together yet. Signed Marquiese Brown in free agency who is expected to operate as WR3/4. There are a lot of mouths to feed on this offense and not all of them can be fantasy relevant. Saquon had a rough 2025 season but should be great in 2026 IF Jalen Hurts can improve his level of play. There are a lot of targets available with AJ Brown leaving.

How the volume number was reached: Same QB Jalen Hurts returning — anchor to 2025 actuals (29.2 att/g); Regressed 42% toward league mean 33.5, floored at 30 → 31 att/g; New OC Sean Mannion — pass rate and tempo may shift.

How that share projection was built

29 historical comps for WRs age ~28, prior share 18.3%, team change, OC change. Distribution: median 8.3%, p25-p75 [4.7%, 10.8%], tails [0.0%, 14.2%]. Closest comps: Allen Robinson 2022→2023 (LA→PIT: 18.7%→10.8%); Odell Beckham 2023→2024 (BAL→MIA: 16.3%→7.4%); Breshad Perriman 2020→2021 (NYJ→TB: 18.1%→8.2%). Adjustment: flat from opportunity_breakout (volume must hold)

arrival self-anchored 32% to own 18.3% role (2yr)

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: PHI rates 23.5 against a league average of 23, 0.5 points above 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+7.6 · easier
Weeks 1–6+5.6 · easier
Weeks 12–17+4.2 · easier
Fantasy playoffs (15–17)-6.1 · harder

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 -37.8% over the last twelve months. The market cycle classifies him as post-crash. The base rate that applies: after a -25% crash, WRs recover only 15% of the time (keep falling 85%).

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.

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.
