What happened: PFF's 2026 wide receiver rankings list Puka Nacua at No. 1 and Amon-Ra St. Brown at No. 5, with three more names slotted between them at No. 2 through No. 4. The order continues the same PFF board that placed Calvin Ridley at No. 32.

Why it matters: Nacua holding the top spot underscores his standing entering a season PFF's own analysts have flagged as pivotal for the Rams. St. Brown's top-five slot follows PFF crediting him as the league's leader in short-pass grading last season, the kind of efficiency marker that underpins his ranking.

What to watch: PFF's full board, already published with the complete order through No. 32, stands as the reference point once training camps open and 2026 performances start testing the rankings.
