Week 14 continued to see the league’s best wide receivers deliver the goods and haul in game-changing touchdowns regardless of the outcome or had very productive afternoons for their respective teams on offense. However, some wide receivers’ production was silenced due to running backs getting more shine or a lack of enthusiasm in certain teams’ passing attacks.
Either way, the next four weeks in the NFL regular season should be very interesting to watch, as our favorite pass catchers do whatever they can to help their teams finish the regular season on a positive note and potentially make it to the playoffs.
Here are the grades for all 32 NFL teams’ wide receivers after week 14.
Who are the top wide receivers in the NFL after week 14?
Arizona Cardinals: Michael Wilson: C+
Wilson had a decent afternoon for the Cardinals, but the team lost 18-30 against the Seattle Seahawks. Wilson caught two receptions for 57 yards and scored a 41-yard touchdown in the first quarter. After that touchdown, Wilson had a quieter afternoon. Wilson needs to have a more consistent workload moving forward, as he does have talent, like his teammates Marvin Harrison Jr. and Trey McBride.
Atlanta Falcons: Darnell Mooney: A-
Mooney had a very nice performance for the Falcons, even though they lost a tough 21-42 battle against the Minnesota Vikings. Mooney caught six receptions for 142 yards but didn’t score a touchdown. It would’ve been nice to see Mooney haul a touchdown for the Falcons, but Kirk Cousins has been struggling recently. The only thing Mooney and company can do is learn from this loss and move on to their week 15 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders on the road.

Baltimore Ravens: Zay Flowers: Bye Week
Flowers has been very good in his sophomore season and is emerging as one of the league’s best wide receivers. Flowers and the Ravens’ offense, coached by offensive coordinator Todd Monken, needs to continue stepping up as there are four more weeks to go in the 2024 regular season and try to secure a spot in the 2024-25 playoffs.
Buffalo Bills: Khalil Shakir: A-
Shakir had a very nice afternoon for the Bills, even though they lost a very close 42-44 offensive shootout with the Los Angeles Rams. Shakir caught five receptions for 106 yards and scored a 51-yard touchdown in the third quarter. Shakir was able to score his first touchdown since week three of the 2024 season. Shakir should have another good performance in the team’s week 15 matchup against the Detroit Lions on the road.
Carolina Panthers: Adam Thielen: A-
Thielen had a very nice afternoon for the Panthers, even though they lost a close yet competitive 16-22 battle against the Philadelphia Eagles. Thielen caught nine receptions for 102 yards but didn’t score a touchdown. Thielen has been very reliable for the Panthers recently, but it would be nice to see Thielen score a touchdown in the game. Thielen and the Panthers return home for a week 15 showdown against the Dallas Cowboys coming to town.
Chicago Bears: Rome Odunze: C
Odunze had an okay game for the Bears in their painful 13-38 loss against the San Francisco 49ers. Odunze caught four receptions for 42 yards and scored two touchdowns. Odunze was a singular bright spot for the Bears, as the team couldn’t get anything going in the first half of the game. Odunze should give Bears fans optimism moving forward as he and Caleb Williams continue to have great on-field chemistry.
Cincinnati Bengals: Ja’Marr Chase: A+
Chase had an incredible performance for the Bengals in their 27-20 shootout win over the Dallas Cowboys. Chase hauled in 14 receptions for 177 yards and scored two touchdowns (including the game-winning touchdown with 1:01 left in the fourth quarter). Chase continued to thrive and give the Bengals’ offense the juice the unit needed for a potential playoff push.

Cleveland Browns: Jerry Jeudy: C+
Jeudy may not have had a wild, productive game as he did in week 13, but he did help the Browns out on offense in their painful 14-27 loss against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jeudy caught five receptions for 64 yards and scored a 35-yard touchdown in the first quarter. Jeudy continued to be a glimmer of hope for the Browns, even though their playoff aspirations are officially over.
Dallas Cowboys: CeeDee Lamb: A-
Lamb had a good night for the Cowboys production-wise, even though the team lost an intense 20-27 shootout against the Cincinnati Bengals. As one of the NFL’s most recognizable wide receivers, Lamb caught six receptions for 93 yards, scored an 11-yard touchdown on a fourth and one play in the first quarter, and rushed for a yard on a carry. Despite being quieted after his scoring drive in the first quarter, Lamb played well and scored his first touchdown since week eight against the San Francisco 49ers.
Denver Broncos: Courtland Sutton: Bye Week
Sutton has been Bo Nix’s most reliable target and a game-changer on the Broncos’ offense. Sutton and the Broncos return to action in week 15 when the Indianapolis Colts come to town.
Detroit Lions: Jameson Williams: B-
Williams played well for the Lions, as they defeated the Green Bay Packers 34-31 in a very competitive and close divisional battle. Williams caught five receptions for 80 yards but didn’t score any touchdowns. It would’ve been nice to see Williams haul in a touchdown, but he still made effective plays for the Lions’ offense as he helped the unit gain necessary yardage against their NFC North foes.
Green Bay Packers: Christian Watson: A-
Watson had a very nice game for the Packers despite the team losing a very tight 31-34 last-second battle against the Detroit Lions. Watson caught four receptions for 114 yards but didn’t score a touchdown and lost a fumble at the start of the second quarter. Despite losing a fumble in the second quarter, Watson made up for it when he caught a 59-yard reception in the third quarter, which led to Jordan Love throwing a touchdown to Tucker Kraft. However, it would’ve been nice to see Watson score a touchdown as well. Watson and the Packers return to action in week 15 when they square off against the Seattle Seahawks on the road.
Houston Texans: Nico Collins: Bye Week
Collins has stepped up for the Texans very nicely while Stefon Diggs recovers from his torn ACL. Collins and the Texans return to action in week 15 when the Miami Dolphins come to town.
Indianapolis Colts: Michael Pittman Jr.: Bye Week
Pittman Jr. has had a mixed 2024 season so far. He’s been reliable in some games, but in other games, he’s been almost nonexistent. Colts wide receiver Pittman Jr. did step up in week 13, and he needs to continue stepping up for the Colts with just four more weeks to go in the regular season if the team wants to make a push for the playoffs.
Jacksonville Jaguars: Brian Thomas Jr.: B-
Thomas Jr. had a good afternoon for the Jaguars as they narrowly defeated the Tennessee Titans 10-6. Thomas Jr. caught eight receptions for 86 yards but didn’t score a touchdown. It would’ve been nice to see Thomas Jr. haul in a touchdown, but he helped the Jaguars snap their five-game losing streak and was able to get them back in the win column.
Kansas City Chiefs: DeAndre Hopkins: D+
Hopkins had a somewhat quiet night in the Chiefs’ passing game but contributed, in a good way, to help the team win a very close 19-17 battle against the Los Angeles Chargers. Hopkins caught four receptions for 32 yards and scored a nine-yard touchdown in the second quarter with only 47 seconds left in the half. It may have been a quiet night for the Chiefs’ offense, but Patrick Mahomes trusts Hopkins on the field, and their on-field chemistry looked good despite the low numbers in receiving yards.
Las Vegas Raiders: Jakobi Meyers: C-
Meyers had an okay game for the Raiders, even though the team lost 13-28 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Meyers caught seven receptions for 67 yards but didn’t score a touchdown. It would’ve been nice to see Meyers score a touchdown, but the Raiders couldn’t get much going on offense.
Los Angeles Chargers: Joshua Palmer: B-
Palmer had a decent night, which could’ve been better for the Chargers in their razor-thin 17-19 loss against the Kansas City Chiefs. The wide receiver caught six receptions for 78 yards but didn’t score a touchdown. It would’ve been nice to see Palmer haul in a touchdown, but he stepped up for his injured teammate, Ladd McConkey, who was out due to knee and shoulder injuries he sustained in the team’s Week 13 win over the Atlanta Falcons.
Los Angeles Rams: Puka Nacua: A+
Nacua had himself an immaculate afternoon for the Rams in their 44-42 wild win over the Buffalo Bills. Nacua caught 12 receptions for 162 yards, scored a receiving touchdown, rushed for 16 yards on five carries, and scored a rushing touchdown. When healthy, Nacua is arguably one of the league’s best wide receivers who can do it all for the Rams. If the Rams make the 2024-25 playoffs, Nacua’s performance in key games will undoubtedly be a significant reason why the Rams potentially make it in.
Miami Dolphins: Tyreek Hill: A
Hill played an outstanding game for the Dolphins, as they narrowly defeated the New York Jets 32-26 in overtime. Hill caught 10 receptions for 115 yards and scored a two-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. With Tua Tagovailoa back in the lineup so far, Hill has been performing very nicely in the Dolphins’ offense. Hill and the Dolphins travel to the Lone Star State for a week 15 matchup against the Houston Texans.
Minnesota Vikings: Jordan Addison: A
Addison had himself an afternoon in the Vikings’ 42-21 dominating win over the Atlanta Falcons. Addison caught eight receptions for 133 yards and scored three touchdowns. Addison outperformed fellow wide receiver Justin Jefferson (who hauled in seven receptions for 132 yards and scored two touchdowns) as they made the Falcons’ secondary almost nonexistent.
New England Patriots: Kayshon Boutte: Bye Week
Boutte has had a tough season for the Patriots, as they’re in rebuilding mode. With four more weeks to go in the regular season, Boutte and the Patriots passing attack needs to step up and try to finish the season on a positive note, depending on how they’ll do in their last four games.
New Orleans Saints: Juwan Johnson: B-
Johnson emerged strong for the Saints’ offense in their very close and nail-biting 14-11 win over the woeful New York Giants. Johnson caught four receptions for 50 yards and scored a touchdown. Johnson did what he could to support an average Saints’ offense and helped carry them to victory with his 11-yard touchdown in the third quarter.
New York Giants: Malik Nabers: B-
Nabers had a decent afternoon for the Giants, even though they lost 11-14 in a very painful and heartbreaking fashion. Nabers caught five receptions for 79 yards but didn’t score a touchdown. It would’ve been very nice to see Nabers pull in a touchdown pass, but it didn’t happen, as the Giants’ offense struggled for most of the game.
New York Jets: Davante Adams: A-
Adams had a very nice game for the Jets, even though they lost 26-32 in overtime against the Miami Dolphins. The veteran wide receiver caught nine receptions for 109 yards and scored a touchdown in the third quarter of the game. Adams and Aaron Rodgers’ on-field chemistry is a site to be held, but it would’ve been so much better for the fans to see Adams help the Jets pull off a victory rather than lose their fourth straight game and get eliminated from playoff contention.
Philadelphia Eagles: A.J. Brown: D
Brown had a somewhat quiet afternoon for the Eagles in their 22-16 win over the Carolina Panthers. Brown caught four receptions for 43 yards but didn’t score any touchdowns. During the post-game interviews, Brown threw a bit of shade toward Jalen Hurts, saying the team needs to improve on passing. Brown and the Eagles remain home in week 15 and will welcome the Pittsburgh Steelers to town.
Pittsburgh Steelers: Scotty Miller: D
Miller had an average afternoon for the Steelers, but he did help the team defeat the Cleveland Browns 27-14. Miller caught three receptions for 38 yards but didn’t score a touchdown. Tight end Pat Freiermuth had 48 receiving yards and scored a touchdown, while the Steelers missed wide receiver George Pickens, who was out with a hamstring injury. Head coach Mike Tomlin praised Miller, saying he made some good plays for the team. However, it would’ve been nice to see Miller haul in a touchdown. Hopefully, that happens in the remaining four weeks of the regular season.
San Francisco 49ers: Jauan Jennings: A-
Jennings had a very nice afternoon for the 49ers in their 38-13 dominating win over the woeful Chicago Bears. Jennings caught seven receptions for 90 yards and scored two touchdowns. Jennings helped the 49ers rebound from their three-game losing streak with a very nice performance in the passing attack.
Seattle Seahawks: Jaxon Smith-Njigba: B+
Smith-Njigba had another great game for the Seahawks in their dominating 30-18 divisional win over the Arizona Cardinals. Smith-Njigba caught five receptions for 82 yards, scored a touchdown, and rushed for four yards on a carry. Wide receiver Smith-Njigba continues to be excellent for the Seahawks’ offense, as the team still has possession of first place in the NFC West… for now and has their sights set on returning to the playoffs for the first time since 2022.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Mike Evans: C-
Evans had a somewhat quiet afternoon for the Bucs, but he did help the team defeat the Las Vegas Raiders 28-13. Evans caught four receptions for 69 yards but didn’t score a touchdown. It would’ve been nice to see Evans score a touchdown, but it didn’t happen. Evans did have a nice 32-yard reception in the fourth quarter, which led to an eventual rushing touchdown scored by Rachaad White in a later offensive drive.
Tennessee Titans: Calvin Ridley: C-
Ridley had a decent game for the Titans, but he wasn’t able to help his team secure the win, as they fell 6-10 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Ridley caught seven receptions for 59 yards but didn’t score a touchdown. It would’ve been nice to see the Titans wide receiver haul in a touchdown, but it didn’t happen, and the Jaguars’ defense kept the Titans out of the end zone for the majority of the game. Ridley and the Titans remain home in week 15 and will welcome the Cincinnati Bengals to town.
Washington Commanders: Terry McLaurin: Bye Week
McLaurin has been great in the Commanders’ passing attack and has formed great on-field chemistry with Jayden Daniels. McLaurin and the Commanders return to action in week 15 when they take on the New Orleans Saints in the Superdome.
