This PredictPedia contract belongs to the Polymarket event titled Pro Football: 2026-27 Receptions Leader. Each contract asks whether a specific player will finish the 2026-27 NFL regular season with the most receptions. The rule is that the market resolves in favor of the player who finishes with the most receptions during that regular season [1]. The event page lists 22 markets, and 12 of them are included in this saved sample, ordered by Yes price. Because the sample is partial, the included contracts show only part of the field, and they should not be read as a complete ranking of possible leaders [1]. The event sets out several tie-breakers. If two players are tied in receptions, the player with more receiving yards during the 2026-27 NFL regular season is the winner. If the tie remains, the player with the higher catch percentage, meaning receptions divided by targets, wins. If a tie still persists after that, the market resolves to Other [1]. The rules also cover disruption. If the season concludes early, is shortened, or is truncated for any reason, the outcome is determined using available NFL statistics for completed games. If the regular season is cancelled, is postponed after January 26, 2027 at 11:59 PM ET, or it is unclear which player led the NFL in receptions within that timeframe, the market resolves to Other [1]. The stated resolution source is official information from the NFL, although a consensus of credible reporting may also be used [1]. The timing needs care. Wikipedia describes the 2026 NFL regular season as beginning on September 9, 2026 and ending on January 10, 2027 [2]. The contract's listed end time is January 27, 2027 at 04:59 UTC [1]. That listed end time is a contract closing time, not an announced date for the season's conclusion or for the market's resolution. Wikipedia retrieval also does not verify current events, so the season schedule described here is background rather than a confirmed account of what has happened so far.

Historical Context

Receptions are a recorded statistic in football games, and a reception is the act of catching a forward pass [3]. The NFL's record books recognize receptions from the American Football League, which operated from 1960 to 1969 before being absorbed into the NFL in 1970. The league also recognizes statistics from the All-America Football Conference, which operated from 1946 to 1949 before three of its teams merged into the NFL. The source says these statistics have been recognized by the NFL since 2025, and previously they were recognized by the Pro Football Hall of Fame [3]. This history explains how the league's receiving leaders list is compiled, but it does not affect how this 2026-27 contract resolves.
