Dynasty Tiers: The Top-60 WRs for 2026 (Fantasy Football)
Over the next month on the Fantasy Footballers Dynasty podcast, we will be discussing dynasty tiers comparing age, production, and future outlook based on the Footballers dynasty ranks.
On the podcast, I decided to place arbitrary WR tiers using the Ballers startup dynasty ranks and where I personally group them.
We tier every single player for redraft in the Ultimate Draft Kit. It is a labor of love and the attention to detail from the Footballers is unparalleled as we update our projections as more off-season news and injury pop up. Statistical projections (“statting out” as we often call it) are NOT part of dynasty rankings since we are looking at multiple years at a time with a giant amount of unknowns in how the NFL can change. Tiering players is more an exercise of “where would I group these players” if I was in a startup draft but they are often based on arbitrary values (as I’ll explain).
This article is a quick reference of the tiers I made on the podcast, where you can find a full in-depth discussion. The full ranks can be found only in the 2026 Dynasty Pass, part of the UDK+.
Dynasty Tiers 101
I wrote an article last year entitled “Dynasty Tiers: 5 Tips for Assessing Value” where I shared five tips I wish someone would’ve told me years ago about dynasty tiers. Here is the TLDR version for you sick, sick people who would never click a link.
- Tiers are arbitrary.
- You don’t know what you don’t know.
- Not all tiers are created equally.
- Anticipate “tier jumps” in trades.
- Compare & Contrast (after making your tiers).
The NFL changes so much more than we realize and yet dynasty rankings feel true to us in the moment as a “this is where this player goes”. Often, I find this is a mirroring mechanism for all of us (myself included) who have looked at rankings and tiers so long that it’s easy to get #TakeLock.
Tier 1- The Untouchables
Tier 2- WR1 Studs
Tier 3- WR1 Building Blocks
