UFL Fantasy Football Wide Receivers: Tracking Targets

A lot of UFL fantasy football feels a bit like a guessing game to start the season. However, one of the ways you can start to take the guesswork out of it is by tracking targets. For UFL fantasy football wide receivers, tracking targets may take a couple of weeks. However, we can start to get an idea of who the alpha in the receiving rooms are just after one week. Let’s take a look at each team and who led in targets for each.

Birmingham Stallions

The Stallions didn’t look as dominant as some may have hoped. However, they still had 208 receiving yards on 30 targets. There were some UFL fantasy football wide receivers who jumped out right away as a surprise in production. One of those guys was Jaydon Mickens, who led the team in targets with nine.

Those who drafted Deon Cain and started them in their UFL fantasy football leagues were disappointed in his two catches for 14 yards stat line. However, the targets were there as he was tied for second on the team for most targets. More disappointing was Laviska Shenault, who had 0 yards on only two targets.

Here’s a look at how the target share broke down for the Stallions.

Jaydon Mickens – 9
Justin Ross – 5
Deon Cain – 5
John Ross – 2
Snoop Conner – 2
Anthony McFarland Jr. – 2
Laviska Shenault Jr. – 2
Jabre Barber – 1
Jordan Thomas – 1
Tyler Davis – 1

Louisville Kings

The Kings’ entire offense led us to desire more from them. They did end up with more passing yards than the Stallions, however. They were led by former DC Defender Lucky Jackson in the target share. Personally, I didn’t know how this depth chart was going to shake out at any position, let alone wide receivers. Therefore, I’m not sure there are any surprises. However, if Lucky Jackson went undrafted in your 2026 UFL fantasy football league, I’d grab him off waivers now.

Lucky Jackson – 8
Isaiah Winstead – 5
Tarik Black – 5
Zach Davidson – 4
Kaden Prather – 1
Tre McKitty – 1
Benny Snell – 1
Ian Wheeler – 1

DC Defenders

It’s going to be hard to get a full read on DC based on just this weekend. Ta’amu was under pressure all day and only completed nine passes for 123 yards. It was no surprise to me that his favorite target was Ty Scott. However, Scott finished with only two catches for 35 yards. Seth Williams led the team with three catches for 51 yards. Here’s a look at the target share for your UFL fantasy football wide receivers on the Defenders.

Ty Scott – 7
Seth Williams – 4
Mason Fairchild – 1
Keke Coutee – 1
Briley Moore-McKinny – 1
Deon Jackson – 1
Braylon Sanders – 1

St. Louis Battlehawks

Having any St. Louis Battlehawks receivers on your 2026 UFL fantasy football team looks like it may get a little frustrating. I say this because of how much they spread the ball around. Brandon Silvers spread 28 targets among 10 different receivers. The guy who had the most targets, Steven McBride, ended up with 0 catches for 0 yards.

One of the names to watch is Kevon Latulas. He’s listed on the depth chart as both a backup running back and a backup wide receiver, giving him nice value. Here’s a look at how the target share was spread out for the Battlehawks.

Steven McBride – 5
Jahcour Pearson – 4
Frank Darby – 4
Jarveon Howard – 4
Kevon Latulas – 3
Blake Jackson – 3
Gary Jennings Jr. – 2
Tyler Neville – 1
James Bostic – 1
Rahjai Harris – 1

Houston Gamblers

You’ll hear debates this week about which team is worse, the Gamblers or the Aviators. The Gamblers did look better once they took Nolan Henderson out and got Hunter Deckers in. Deckers ended up throwing 29 passes. The target share was dominated by Jalen Moreno-Cropper, who had 10 targets. However, Lujuan Winningham, Justin Hall, and Jontre Kirklin were all involved as well. Here’s a look at the target share for the Gamblers.

Jalen Moreno-Cropper – 10
Lujuan Winningham – 6
Justin Hall – 6
Jontre Kirklin – 4
Cam Sutton – 3
Kirk Merrit – 3
Marcus Yarns – 2
Amari Rogers – 2
Lawrence Keys – 1

Dallas Renegades

The Dallas Renegades and quarterback Austin Reed put on a clinic. He threw for 376 yards on 40 pass attempts. The ball was spread out quite a bit. However, stud wide receiver Tyler Vaughns was ahead of the pack with seven catches on nine targets for 144 yards and a touchdown. It’ll be interesting to see if the Renegades can keep this momentum up against multiple teams rather than just against the Gamblers. However, if they can, this is a team you want parts of on your 2026 UFL fantasy football teams. Here’s a look at their target share breakdown.

Tyler Vaughns – 9
Ellis Merriweather – 8
Drake Stoops – 5
Emmanuel Butler – 4
Greg Ward – 3
Denzel Mims – 3
Lorenzo Lingard – 3
Baylor Cupp – 2
Curtis Hodges – 2
Seth Green – 1

Columbus Aviators

The Columbus Aviators didn’t look great against the Orlando Storm. However, Storm defensive coordinator Donnie Abraham has always had a pretty tight defense. Therefore, maybe they weren’t as bad as it looked, and it was just the result of playing a tough defense in Ted Ginn’s debut as a coach. I’d keep my eye on them regardless. Tay Martin was their leading receiver with seven catches on eight targets for 86 yards. Here’s a look at how all the targets played out.

Tay Martin – 8
Keke Chism – 5
Roc Taylor – 3
Gunner Oakes – 3
Alize Mack – 3
Zaquandre White – 3
Antwane Wells – 2
Toa Taua – 2
Jaylon Moore – 1
John Lovett – 1

Orlando Storm

The last team to discuss for our 2026 UFL fantasy football wide receivers and target shares is the Orlando Storm. The Storm did the best at committing to the run, running the ball 29 times compared to only throwing it 22 times. This may be the recipe for success for them. However, wide receivers still stepped up. Chris Rowland had the most targets with six. He finished with four catches for 28 yards and a touchdown. Elijah Badger ended up having the most yards with 127. Here’s a look at the Storm’s wide receivers’ target share breakdown.

Chris Rowland – 6
KJ Hamler – 5
Elijah Badger – 4
Elijah Dotson – 3
Konner Fox – 2
Jashuan Corbin – 2

Check back each week to see if the target shares continue to be divided like they were this week, or if a new leader will enter the discussion for each team.
