Hey!
Alright, now that the fantasy football season is over...
Here are 5 Wide Receivers Who Actually Won Fantasy Leagues This Year:
#5 Michael Wilson
Wilson came out of nowhere and became a late-season cheat code.
After Marvin Harrison went down in Week 10, Wilson’s role exploded.
From Weeks 11–17, he averaged 17.6 fantasy points on 11.4 targets, nearly 97 yards per game, and finished as a Top-5 WR down the stretch.
He also averaged 16.5 points in the fantasy playoffs. That’s a league winner off the waiver wire…
#4 Chris Olave
This was a classic overreaction by the market.
Concerns around concussions and quarterback play pushed Olave down draft boards, but the talent never disappeared.
Olave finished with 100 catches on 156 targets, and from Weeks 10–17, he averaged 17 fantasy points per game.
He was a Top-5 WR down the stretch and cleared 20 points in every playoff game…
#3 Puka Nacua
Puka completely broke fantasy football.
He finished as the WR1 in points per game and somehow got even better in the playoffs.
Puka averaged 30 fantasy points per game during the fantasy playoffs and had more 20+ point games than games under 20 all season.
Even at a premium draft cost, he beat ADP and showed up on nearly one-third of championship rosters.
#2 George Pickens
Pickens delivered true WR1 production at a mid-round price.
He finished with 1,420 yards and 9 touchdowns on 134 targets, thriving in a high-volume Cowboys offense.
Without CeeDee Lamb, Pickens averaged 21.2 points and 107 yards per game. That kind of ceiling at a middle-round cost is how leagues are won.
#1 Jaxon Smith-Njigba
JSN won leagues through elite efficiency.
Despite playing in a low-volume passing offense, he finished as the WR2 on the season.
Seattle ranked 28th in pass attempts, yet JSN ranked 1st in yards per team pass attempt and 2nd in yards per route run.
Drafted in the third round, he appeared on roughly 25% of championship teams.
An absolute home run pick…
