In light of Yahoo’s announcement to re-enter the CFF space (P4 only), here are 10 WRs VP is targeting in P4 drafts right now.
I think Yahoo is a great company, with great assets.
– Jack Ma, businessman
Winston Watkins (LSU)
I’m warming up to the idea of Watkins, who had a solid freshman season at Ole Miss the year prior. There are a lot of cooks in the kitchen in this LSU WR room, and it’s anybody’s guess right now whether an alpha will even emerge, but I like that most of the big names play on the boundary, while Watkins is competing in the slot.
And in case you were wondering, yes, we’ve seen slot receivers lead Kiffen’s offense before (think Elijah Moore in 2020). Couple that with the fact that you can get this player much later than the other relevant names around him (Jayce Brown’s CFF ADP on C2C is 116.2, Jackson Harris at 265, Watkins is 311 as of May, 2026), and I see myself acquiring a lot of shares here.
Rashid Williams (Washington)
We know Dez Roebuck will be a focal point in the slot, but Rashid Williams will look to be UW’s replacement for Denzel Boston, who held a lucrative role for CFF managers on the boundary. Can Demond Williams support two productive WRs? We’ve seen head coach Jedd Fisch’s offense do so before, so don’t rule it out.
Rashid Williams had a big spring game off the arm of Demond, with whom he has been building chemistry in camps going back to 2024. Roebuck is the safer option, sure, but Williams offers a cheaper zag idea who has a very high chance of being the WR1 when all is said and done in 2026.
LaWayne McCoy (Louisville)
McCoy is an intriguing name this offseason. He’s been pretty mediocre throughout his first two seasons in CFB (at FSU), but he did end 2025 with a bang, catching all six targets for 110 yards and a score vs. Florida. His frame profiles as a boundary receiver, a lucrative spot in Brohm’s offense. We’ll have to wait and see if McCoy ends up winning a starting spot.
Tre Richardson is the more touted receiver currently, but he’ll be operating out of the slot, so presumably both players will be on the field together. In that sense, McCoy’s primary competitor is former SJSU receiver Treyshun Hurry, who was a complete zero last year with the Cards. Keep in mind that there is a world where two WRs are relevant in CFF formats from this offense (Lacy and Bell sort of were an example of this in 2025).
Carlos Hernandez (Wake Forest)
Hernandez was a disappointment for many in 2025, but he had a big finish to the season, scoring over 30 PPR points twice in his final four games. Could it be a harbinger of things to come in 2026? It’s worth gambling on in my opinion, especially considering what South Alabama’s offense did at WR when current WF OC Rob Ezell was there.
Kenny Johnson (Texas Tech)
Even though Tech will be without its first-choice starter at QB this year, there should still be some value in the WR room, given that the team is expected to score a lot of points and contend for the B12 championship. KJ is coming over after a very good career at Pitt and immediately stands out for his prior production.
Javonnie Gibson (Cincinnati)
Gibson was a star in the spring game, catching three TD passes from starting QB JC French. He was a former FCS stud in 2024, before having a forgettable year at OU, so maybe the change of scenery is just what the doctor ordered to reload that prowess. He’s competing with some other notable names, primarily FCS transfer and former 1,000-yard receiver himself, Larenzo Fenner.
Isaiah Horton (Texas A&M)
Horton is a good bet to be a solid player in 2026. Given that there are two other players who are returning as starters at WR, I don’t think one individual will be elite in this A&M offence, but it should be said that Horton has at least been good in each of the last two campaigns with Alabama and Miami, he’s a safe bet in my mind to repeat that feat this fall as the presumed WR2, with a chance to usurp Craver as WR1, especially if Craver’s durability issues from 2025 linger into 2026.
Donovan Olugbode (Missouri)
There has been buzz this offseason about Olugbode, and it’s entirely possible he ends up as Mizzou’s WR1 in 2026. I still think Cayden Lee is a safe option to at least be solid in CFF, given his prior connection to the QB, but those looking for a higher ceiling in his system should circle Olugbode, in my opinion.
You can also get him at a discount compared to Lee, making Olugbode a more attractive option, given that there isn’t much information to distinguish him from Lee currently, aside from Lee’s familiarity with Austin Simmons from their time at Ole Miss.
Caden High / Nico Brown (Stanford)
I know, I know, you’re thinking this Stanford offense is going to be incredibly run-heavy and that the QB will inevitably suck at passing the ball… but one of these lads is bound to be a relevant CFF asset, given what we saw with CJ Williams last season.
Nico Brown is coming in off a 1,000-yard season in the FCS in 2025, and he’s sized to play on the boundary to fill Williams’s role. However, High had a good season last year too, and he returns to the same program, familiar with the staff. He’s sized to play in the slot. You can get both at the end of drafts right now.
Joseph Williams (Colorado)
Year one didn’t exactly go as planned for the freshman transfer from Tulsa. Sometimes these things take time. With new play-caller Brennan Marion at OC, there should be a player who emerges as a valuable CFF asset at WR, and traditionally, that player under Marion is a boundary guy. There are many other irons in the fire, though.
