Another great week in the books, as the league’s best wide receivers put up some very exciting performances on the field for their respective teams. Some guys had a bit of a challenge on the field but did enough to help their teams win. Meanwhile, some guys had productive days but still couldn’t deliver their teams the victory. Sometimes, great play does not get the win, but that doesn’t mean their production in the passing attack is forgotten. We at TPS can’t wait to see what else these wide receivers can do in week 13.
Here are the grades for all 32 NFL teams’ wide receivers after week 12.
Who are the top wide receivers in the NFL after week 12?
Arizona Cardinals: Marvin Harrison Jr.: C-
Harrison Jr. had an okay afternoon for the Cardinals, as the team was mostly shut down in their 6-16 loss against the Seattle Seahawks. Harrison Jr. caught three receptions for 47 yards but didn’t find the end zone all game. This wasn’t Harrison Jr.’s worst statistical game, but it’s been a boom-or-bust season so far for the rookie wideout.
Atlanta Falcons: Drake London: Bye Week
London has had a very good 2024 season so far, as he’s on pace to potentially have his first 1,000-plus receiving yard season under his belt. London and the Falcons return home in week 13 and will welcome the Los Angeles Chargers to town.
Baltimore Ravens: Zay Flowers: C-

Flowers may not have scored a touchdown for the Ravens in their Monday night 30-23 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, but he was effective in the passing attack. Flowers caught five receptions for 62 yards on the night. A bit of a disappointing night for Flowers, but as one of the most impressive wide receivers this season, he should be able to bounce back for the Ravens in the coming weeks.
Buffalo Bills: Khalil Shakir: Bye Week
Shakir has been a reliable target for Josh Allen, as he and the Bills pretty much have the AFC East division on lockdown. Shakir and the Bills return to action in week 13 as they welcome the San Francisco 49ers to town on Sunday Night Football.
Carolina Panthers: David Moore: B+
Moore had a very nice game for the Panthers, even though they narrowly lost to the Kansas City Chiefs 27-30. Moore caught six receptions for 81 yards and scored a touchdown for the Panthers. With Jalen Coker out due to a quadriceps injury he suffered in practice the previous Thursday, it opened the door for Moore to step up and have a very nice game for the Panthers, even though they lost in last-second fashion.
Chicago Bears: DJ Moore: A-
Moore played an excellent game for the Bears, even though the team lost 27-30 overtime. Moore caught seven receptions for 106 yards, scored a touchdown, and rushed for 13 yards on a carry. Moore emerged for the Bears’ offense after a few lackluster weeks. Hopefully, Moore can continue to help Caleb Williams and the Bears’ offense out for the remaining weeks of the 2024 season.
Cincinnati Bengals: Tee Higgins: Bye Week
Higgins has had a great 2024 season as the number two receiver on the Bengals Depth chart, along with Ja’Marr Chase. Higgins, Chase, and Joe Burrow need to find a way to win out if they want to make a potential playoff run, depending on how the rest of the 2024 season plays out. We can’t wait to see what else Higgins can do for the Bengals.

Cleveland Browns: Jerry Jeudy: B-
Jeudy played a very nice game for the Browns in their 24-19 snowy victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jeudy caught six receptions for 85 yards but didn’t score a touchdown. It would’ve been nice to see Jeudy score a touchdown in the game, but his contributions in the passing attack helped the Browns secure the win.
Dallas Cowboys: CeeDee Lamb: C-
Lamb had a good game for the Cowboys, as they stunned the Washington Commanders 34-26. Lamb caught 10 receptions for 67 yards and rushed for a yard on a carry but didn’t score a touchdown. It would’ve been nice to see Lamb haul in a touchdown for the Cowboys, but Lamb did everything he could to help the Cowboys snap their five-game losing streak and earn a nice win on the road.
Denver Broncos: Courtland Sutton: A
Sutton had himself a very nice game in the Broncos’ passing attack, as they defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 29-19. Sutton caught eight receptions for 97 yards and scored two touchdowns. With Bo Nix drastically improving as a pass catcher, Sutton’s production also increases as he and Nix are forming a great quarterback-wide receiver duo on offense.
Detroit Lions: Amon-Ra St. Brown: C
St. Brown had a good game for the Lions in their 24-6 victory. St. Brown caught six receptions for 62 yards but didn’t score a touchdown. St. Brown was effective in the passing attack and helped lead the Lions to score a touchdown in the third quarter. St. Brown and the Lions return home in week 13 for their Thanksgiving day match-up against the Chicago Bears coming to town.
Green Bay Packers: Romeo Doubs: C-
Doubs played an okay game for the Packers, as they defeated the injury-plagued San Francisco 49ers 38-10. Doubs caught three receptions for 54 yards but didn’t score a touchdown and left the game with a concussion. Losing Doubs, one of the league’s most consistent wide receivers, to a concussion is going to sting the Packers’ passing attack. While Doubs recovers, the next man up is Christian Watson. Jayden Reed and Malik Heath also need to step up in Doubs’ absence.
Houston Texans: Nico Collins: A-
Collins had a very nice game for the Texans, even though they lost 27-32 against the Tennessee Titans. Collins caught five receptions for 92 yards and scored a touchdown. Collins was a bright spot for the Texans, but it was an overall frustrating afternoon for the team’s offense, as they struggled for most of the game.
Indianapolis Colts: Michael Pittman Jr.: A-
Pittman Jr. played a great game for the Colts statistically, even though the team lost an ugly 6-24 battle against the Detroit Lions. Pittman Jr. caught six receptions for 96 yards but didn’t score a touchdown. The Colts’ passing attack was effective, but the Lions’ defense managed to keep the Colts out of the red zone despite Pittman Jr.’s efforts in the game.
Jacksonville Jaguars: Brian Thomas Jr.: Bye Week
Even though the Jaguars have been a mess all season long, Thomas Jr. has been a bright spot for the team. He’s doing everything he can to help his team out no matter what happens from here.
Kansas City Chiefs: Xavier Worthy: D
Worthy had an okay game for the Chiefs, as they narrowly defeated the Carolina Panthers 30-27. Worthy caught four receptions for 46 yards and rushed for five yards on a carry but didn’t score a touchdown. Worthy may not have topped 50 receiving yards, but he’s proven to be a reliable target for Patrick Mahomes in the passing attack along with Travis Kelce, Noah Gray, and DeAndre Hopkins.
Las Vegas Raiders: Jakobi Meyers: A-
Meyers had a very productive afternoon for the Raiders, even though they lost 19-29 against the Denver Broncos. Meyers caught 10 receptions for 121 yards but didn’t score a touchdown. It would’ve been nice to see Meyers haul in a touchdown, but he flourished against the Broncos as they paid more attention to tight end Brock Bowers. Meyers and the Raiders will have a tougher test on the road in their week 13 match-up against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Los Angeles Chargers: Ladd McConkey: B-
McConkey had a great night in the passing game for the Chargers, even though they lost 23-30 against the Baltimore Ravens. McConkey caught six receptions for 83 yards but didn’t score any touchdowns. McConkey and the Chargers couldn’t get any huge plays going against the Ravens’ secondary, but he was still effective as Justin Herbert’s number-one pass catcher throughout the night.
Los Angeles Rams: Puka Nacua: A-
Nacua played a very nice game for the Rams, even though they lost 20-37 against a very aggressive Philadelphia Eagles team. As one of the league’s well-known wide receivers, Nacua caught nine receptions for 117 yards but didn’t score a touchdown. It would’ve been nice to see Nacua score a touchdown, but he still showed his reliability as an excellent pass catcher.
Miami Dolphins: Jaylen Waddle: A
Waddle had a phenomenal game in the Dolphins 34-15 dominating win over the New England Patriots. Waddle caught eight receptions for 144 yards and scored a 23-yard touchdown in the third quarter. Waddle looked incredible as he and the Dolphins’ offense continued to trend upward.
Minnesota Vikings: Jordan Addison: A+
Addison played an incredible game for the Vikings, as they defeated the Chicago Bears 30-27 in overtime. Addison caught eight receptions for 162 yards and scored a touchdown. While the Bears’ were focused on covering Justin Jefferson, they failed to notice Addison, who went off against the Bears’ secondary and made some incredible noise for the Vikings.
New England Patriots: DeMario Douglas: C-
Douglas had a decent game for the Patriots, but the Pats lost 15-34 against the Miami Dolphins in painful fashion. Douglas caught five receptions for 62 yards and rushed for a yard on a carry. Douglas’ efforts weren’t enough, as the Patriots’ offense completely fell apart against the Dolphins’ defense.
New Orleans Saints: Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Bye Week
Ever since Valdes-Scantling joined the Saints, he’s been one of their most effective wide receivers in the passing attack and has helped revitalize the offense thanks to interim head coach Darren Rizzi’s leadership.
New York Giants: Malik Nabers: C-
Nabers played a decent game for the Giants, even though the team fell flat in their 7-30 loss at home against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Nabers caught six receptions for 64 yards but didn’t score any touchdowns. Nabers was the lone bright spot on a struggling Giants’ offense, as they now have Tommy DeVito under center. They benched and released Daniel Jones after the bye week.
New York Jets: Davante Adams: Bye Week
Adams is a very talented wide receiver, but the Jets have had a miserable 2024 season. Adams and company return to action in week 13 and will host a very tough and physical Seattle Seahawks team.
Philadelphia Eagles: A.J. Brown: A
Brown had another excellent game for the Eagles, as they defeated the Los Angeles Rams 37-20. Brown caught six receptions for 109 yards and scored a touchdown. Although Saquon Barkley got the shine for his immaculate performance, Brown deserves some credit, too, for his outstanding performance in the passing attack.
Pittsburgh Steelers: Calvin Austin III: B+
Austin III had a nice game for the Steelers in a snowy game against the Cleveland Browns, but his efforts weren’t enough in the team’s 19-24 loss. Austin III caught three receptions for 78 yards and scored a touchdown. While George Pickens was ineffective and got into an altercation with Greg Newsome II, Austin III stepped up and performed well for the Steelers in the trap game.
San Francisco 49ers: Jauan Jennings: D
Jennings and most of the 49ers’ offense struggled in their 10-38 loss against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. Jennings caught seven receptions for 40 yards but didn’t score a single touchdown. Jennings and the 49ers struggled without Brock Purdy on the field, but Jennings outperformed Deebo Samuel throughout the game.
Seattle Seahawks: Jaxon Smith-Njigba: B+
Smith-Njigba continued to emerge as one of the Seahawks’ most reliable wide receivers as the team defeated the Arizona Cardinals 16-6. Smith-Njigba caught six receptions for 77 yards and scored a touchdown. Smith-Njigba’s breakout 2024 campaign has been extraordinary to watch as he continued improving and potentially emerging as a Pro Bowler in front of our eyes.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Mike Evans: C
Mike Evans, welcome back, as he had a good game for the Bucs in their 30-7 victory over the woeful New York Giants. Evans caught five receptions for 68 yards but didn’t score a touchdown. Evans may not have found his way into the end zone, but his production helped revitalize the Bucs’ passing attack, which has struggled since he was out with his hamstring injury.
Tennessee Titans: Calvin Ridley: A-
Ridley had a very nice game for the Titans, as they stunned the Houston Texans 32-27. Ridley caught five receptions for 93 yards but didn’t score a touchdown. It would’ve been nice to see Ridley haul in a touchdown, as his production has increased ever since DeAndre Hopkins was traded from the Titans to the Chiefs. Ridley snagged a 63-yard reception in the second quarter, which helped the Titans score a touchdown with Tony Pollard running it in.
Washington Commanders: Terry McLaurin: A-
McLaurin had a very nice game for the Commanders, even though they lost 26-34 stunningly to the Dallas Cowboys. McLaurin caught five receptions for 102 yards and scored a touchdown. An excellent game for McLaurin, despite the rest of the team taking a slight step back.
