Vikings WR Justin Jefferson moved back into Michael Fabiano's top 10 in his latest fantasy wide receiver rankings.

Michael Fabiano, fantasy football analyst for Sports Illustrated, has released his first set of 2026 wide receiver rankings since a flurry of trades and free-agent signings reshaped the position. Among the most notable shifts: Minnesota Vikings star Justin Jefferson has re-entered Fabiano’s top-10 tier.

The movement comes after a pair of blockbuster trades sent shockwaves through fantasy boards. The Buffalo Bills acquired DJ Moore, while Jaylen Waddle was dealt to Denver, altering the projected target share—and thus the fantasy outlook—for more than ten wide receivers across the league. Additional departures, including Mike Evans, Romeo Doubs, Wan’Dale Robinson and Michael Pittman Jr., further scrambled depth charts and redraft values for both the players involved and their former teammates.

Fabiano, whose weekly rankings and Start ’Em, Sit ’Em columns are staples for fantasy managers, emphasized that these rankings will be updated frequently throughout the offseason. Jefferson’s rebound into the top 10 underscores Fabiano’s confidence that the Vikings’ offense will remain a high-volume passing attack despite the league-wide shake-up.

A Fantasy Sports Writers Association Hall of Fame inductee, Fabiano also co-hosts the Fantasy Dirt Podcast on SI and contributes to Westwood One Radio. His initial 2026 board sets the early market for drafts still months away, giving dynasty and redraft players a baseline as they monitor training-camp buzz and preseason usage.
