JJ Zachariason joins Chris Welsh and Derek Brown for FantasyPros Fantasy Fest to break down four predictions that could completely reshape the 2026 fantasy football season.

Could Stefon Diggs AND Terry McLaurin both finish as top-24 wide receivers? Is Puka Nacua capable of averaging an incredible 26 PPR points per game? Could Malik Willis become a top-12 fantasy quarterback thanks to his rushing upside? And is Justin Jefferson actually at risk of finishing outside the top 20 wide receivers?

The guys dig into the stats, usage, ADP and historical trends behind each prediction before putting even more bold takes from the FantasyPros community to the test.
