The definitive top-10 wide receivers in the NFL
We are already two weeks into the NFL season, which means just 15 games to go for whatever team you support. Savor these glorious days of football, and while there aren't any games on, take a read over our definite top-1o wide receiver rankings!
Evans has quietly put together one of the best careers in NFL history. Even last year, with Baker Mayfield under center, he put up a 79, 1,255 yard, 13 TD season, per Pro Football Reference. A remarkable player.
Diggs may seem like a handful to deal with off the field, but on it, he is still one of the best in the business. Per Pro Football Reference, he has 107 and 108 catches in the past two seasons, and a combined 19 TDs.

St. Brown is now the second-highest-paid wide receiver in the NFL, per Fox Sports, and based on his production last year, it’s easy to see why. 119 catches for 1,515 and 10 scores is a stat line worthy of elite status, and in almost any other era of the NFL, it would be
Adams has over 10,000 yards in his career, but he may have entered a slow decline. If that’s the case, he is still performing better than the majority of players in professional football. His 1,144 yards last year came with Aidan O’Connell at QB, who isn’t a starting-level NFL QB, which only makes it more impressive.
We know Kupp is injured, and if the trend of injuries continues, his time as an elite NFL receiver could be coming to an end. This season, we saw his impact on games with a 14 catch, 110-yard game (with a TD) against the Lions in week one. If he can get healthy and consistently put up numbers like that, he deserves this position.
As Ralph Vacchiano writes for Fox Sports, “He is so reliable and productive that when he had a few uncharacteristic drops during his first season in Philadelphia, it was stunning.” Brown didn’t drop as many in his second year in Philly even if his stats dropped off slightly. Expect him to rack up monster numbers in year three as Philly look to get back to the Super Bowl.
In the past two seasons, Lamb has a combined 242 catches, 3108 yards, and 21 TDs as the main man in an elite Dallas offense. Per Pro Football Focus, Lamb only dropped five of the 179 targets thrown his way. Nearly unstoppable.
When healthy, and with Joe Burrow throwing his way, Ja'marr Chase is as good as anyone. As PFF writes, “He continues to be underrated after the catch, forcing 17 missed tackles on 100 receptions in 2023.” His dynamism after the catch makes Chase so difficult to defend.
Hill has an almost unbelievable stat line over the past two seasons, catching 238 passes for 3509 yards, and 20 TDs, per ESPN. There may be no more dynamic player in football history who has also been able to develop into a possession receiver. Hill was a match made in heaven for Mike McDaniel in Miami, with the two working perfectly together.
Despite missing seven games last year, and playing with a murderer’s row of QBs, Jefferson still topped 1,000 yards and hauled in five TDs. If he and J.J. McCarthy find some chemistry, Jefferson could break every receiving record known to man!
