2026 Class Preview (QBs and WRs)
Notes on the 2026 class along with insights and observations at week 6 mark.
It’s great to be back guys. Looking forward to diving into this 2026 class with you all and sharing my thoughts and insights.
First off, to level set we knew this class was going to be trickier to evaluate. The class lacked proven commodities compared to years past and the RB and WR group were not particularly touted.
Fortunately, the wide receiver group has provided us great analytics to kick off this year. However, with that said it is not particularly surprising that Lemon, Tate, and Tyson have put up respectable numbers thus far.
In my 2026 WR class preview article I had Carnell Tate as my WR1 and highlighted Tyson and Lemon impressive 3.00+ YPRR seasons last year. That said it is great to see the follow through particular with Lemon who is putting up outstanding numbers.
Lets dive in.
Notable YPRR Leaders this current CFB Season
Makai Lemon - 4.50
Jeremiah Smith - 3.65
Carnell Tate - 3.60
Ryan Williams - 3.08
Jordyn Tyson - 2.53
USC WR Makai Lemon is on fire this season.
Makai Lemon is becoming one of the favorites for WR1 of the 2026 class.
