Isaac TeSlaa — 2026 Fantasy Outlook

Shawn's rank: WR70Bye 6Updated July 30, 2026

Analysis by Shawn Childs, from his 2026 guide — his words, unedited.

TeSlaa put up modest numbers across his final two seasons at Arkansas (34 catches for 351 yards and two touchdowns on 67 targets in 2023), followed by 28 receptions for 545 yards and three scores on just 36 targets in 2024. At 6'4" and 216 pounds with a 4.43 40-yard dash, the physical tools are appealing. His developmental concerns lie in his route running, which still lags behind his athletic profile. TeSlaa has the ability to win quickly against tight press coverage off the line, an area that will need meaningful improvement before he can be trusted as a consistent contributor at the next level.

TeSlaa was a late deep sleeper mover last draft season, but Detroit only had him on the field for 39.7% of their snaps. Half of his scouting report came true as Jared Goff was able to hook up with him for six touchdowns. His rookie season ended with 16 catches for 239 yards on 27 targets, and he scored on 37.5% of his receptions. From Week 1 to Week 12, TeSlaa only had four catches for 65 yards and two touchdowns on nine targets. He offered flex value in four (2/35/1, 2/20/1, 4/52/1, and 3/49/1) of his last six contests despite only seeing 18 targets.
