- Justin Jefferson, Minnesota Vikings. Justin Jefferson and his main competitor are different receivers, each presenting their unique challenges. Still, Jefferson is arguably the only receiver in the league without a glaring weakness.
- CeeDee Lamb, Dallas Cowboys. CeeDee Lamb’s fluidity gives him some of the most natural body control in the league. So far in 2023, he and QB Dak Prescott haven’t suffered from the miscommunication issues they so often had in 2022.
- A.J. Brown, Philadelphia Eagles. Brown is from another generation. He’s a big, physical bruiser who resembles a tall running back more than a receiver.
- Ja’Marr Chase, Cincinnati Bengals. Ja’Marr Chase can elevate over your dome, run by you down the sideline, or take a slant 80 yards. The only thing keeping him from being the most dominant WR in the NFL is that he doesn’t quite have the route-running chops of the top five.

50. Mike Williams, New York Jets
Mike Williams is lower on this list because he’s coming off a torn ACL. We’ll have to see how the deep threat looks in his first year on the Jets.
49. Jerry Jeudy, Cleveland Browns
Jerry Jeudy has had a disappointing career, but perhaps a change of scenery will result in a breakout. The former first-rounder has strong separation skills.
48. Gabe Davis, Jacksonville Jaguars
Gabe Davis has more real-life than fantasy value because he’s a legitimate deep threat who can take the top off the opposing defense, helping to stretch the field and open up space for his teammates.
40. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Seattle Seahawks
Jaxon Smith-Njigba had a disappointing rookie season, but it’s clear that he was misused by former offensive coordinator Shane Waldron, who had him running routes too close to the line of scrimmage.
39. Christian Kirk, Jacksonville Jaguars
Christian Kirk is an underrated receiver who can earn targets at a high rate over the middle of the field. The former Cardinal is one of the better WR2 options in the league.
38. Chris Godwin, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Chris Godwin was misused in 2023, operating more on the perimeter than previous seasons. With Godwin expected to move back into the slot more in 2024, look for improved production.
30. DeAndre Hopkins, Tennessee Titans
DeAndre Hopkins was still able to put up 1,057 yards despite playing in a run-heavy offense with a rookie quarterback under center. Even at 32 years old, Hopkins can still make an impact on the perimeter.
29. Terry McLaurin, Washington Commanders
Terry McLaurin has been held back by poor quarterback play throughout his career. Luckily, the Commanders are expected to take one with the second overall pick, helping out their clinical route runner on the perimeter.
28. Rome Odunze, Projected Top 10 Pick
Rome Odunze has excellent ball skills with the ability to make big plays despite a lack of top-end speed. This is a rookie with great size, profiling as a future number one wideout, perhaps immediately.
20. Michael Pittman Jr, Indianapolis Colts
Michael Pittman Jr. turned in a fantastic season with Gardner Minshew under center, hauling in 109 receptions for 1,152 yards. This is a dependable possession receiver with terrific size.
19. Amari Cooper, Cleveland Browns
Amari Cooper was able to put forth a career year with 1,250 yards in only 15 games despite playing with a number of quarterbacks. Now entering his age-30 season, Cooper can still beat man coverage with terrific route-running skills.
18. Malik Nabers, Projected Top 7 Pick
Malik Nabers has the potential to be an elite separator at the professional level. The former LSU standout is projected to make an immediate impact wherever he lands.
10. Stefon Diggs, Buffalo Bills
Stefon Diggs had a poor finish to his season, but this is still a top route-runner with an elite track record. I’m not ready to say that Diggs is in his declining phase just yet.
9. Davante Adams, Las Vegas Raiders
Davante Adams is now 32 years old, but there’s not many players who can lose their defenders like he can. The elite separation skills should allow for another strong year despite the advanced age.
8. Marvin Harrison Jr, Projected Top 5 Pick
Marvin Harrison Jr. is widely considered to be the best receiver prospect since Ja’Marr Chase. With an elite track record in college, this high volume target-earner with NFL bloodlines is likely to be an immediate star.
