Week seven of the 2024 NFL season was an intense one as some wide receivers struggled on the field and left games with injuries. However, the best wide receivers in the league continued to shine, produce monster stats, and carry their NFL teams whether they won or lost.
Here are the grades for all 32 NFL teams’ wide receivers after week seven.
Who are the top wide receivers in the NFL after week 7 of games?
Arizona Cardinals: Marvin Harrison Jr.: D
Harrison Jr. had a bit of a quiet night in the Cardinals’ 17-15 last-second victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. Harrison Jr. caught three receptions for 21 yards but didn’t score a single touchdown. His teammate, Greg Dortch, scored a touchdown in the second quarter. Harrison Jr. and the Redbirds need to step it up quickly as they get prepared for their week eight matchup on the road in South Beach against the Miami Dolphins.
Atlanta Falcons: Drake London: B+
London had a decent afternoon for the Falcons, even though they lost a painful 14-34 battle against the Seattle Seahawks. London caught six receptions for 63 yards and scored a touchdown. A decent performance by London, which unfortunately wasn’t enough to help the Falcons out in the end.

Bateman had a breakout game as he and the Ravens defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 41-31 on the road. Bateman caught four receptions for 121 yards and scored a 49-yard touchdown on the night. Bateman looked incredible as he and Lamar Jackson had great on-field chemistry for the majority of the game.
Buffalo Bills: Amari Cooper: B+
Amari Cooper went to work and massively helped the Bills in their 34-10 victory over the Tennessee Titans. Cooper caught four receptions for 66 yards and scored his first touchdown as a Buffalo Bill days after being traded from the Cleveland Browns. A great afternoon for Cooper as he and Josh Allen look to form some good on-field chemistry moving forward.
Carolina Panthers: Dionte Johnson: F
Johnson and the Pathers completely unraveled as they were defeated 7-40 by the Washington Commanders. Johnson caught a reception for 17 yards and didn’t score a single touchdown all game. A brutal afternoon for Johnson and the Panthers as they have to move on from this painful loss and get ready for their week eight matchup against the Denver Broncos on the road.
Chicago Bears: DJ Moore: Bye Week
Moore has had a decent season so far with Caleb Williams under center for the Bears. Moore and company will be tested in week eight when the Bears face off against the Washington Commanders on the road.
Cincinnati Bengals: Tee Higgins: A-
Higgins had a very productive afternoon as the Bengals defeated the Cleveland Browns 21-14. Higgins caught four receptions for 82 yards and scored a touchdown on the day. A great day for both Higgins and Ja’Marr Chase as they looked sharp against their in-state divisional rivals.

Cleveland Browns: Cedric Tillman: B-
Despite the Browns getting dropped 14-21 by the Cincinnati Bengals, Cedric Tillman had a nice performance in the passing game. Tillman caught eight receptions for 81 yards but didn’t score any touchdowns. It would’ve been nice to see Tillman score a touchdown. Hopefully, things change with Winston throwing him the ball moving forward.
Dallas Cowboys: CeeDee Lamb: Bye Week
CeeDee Lamb may put up good numbers, but he and the Cowboys’ offense have struggled and need to return to form, especially in the team’s week eight matchup on the road against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football.
Denver Broncos: Troy Franklin: C-
Franklin had a decent night as the Broncos decimated the New Orleans Saints 33-10. Franklin caught five receptions for 50 yards on the night. Franklin and the rest of the Broncos’ passing attack started the night quietly, as Bo Nix and company managed to play a great game on the road and came up with the win for Sean Payton, who used to coach the New Orleans Saints.
Detroit Lions: Amon-Ra St. Brown: A-
Amon-Ra St. Brown had a great afternoon for the Lions as they won 31-29 in an afternoon thriller against the Minnesota Vikings. St. Brown caught eight receptions for 112 yards and scored a touchdown. St. Brown looked impressive as the Vikings’ defense had a tough time trying to bring him down. St. Brown and the Lions return home for a week eight matchup against the Tennessee Titans.
Green Bay Packers: Rome Doubs: B-
Doubs had a good afternoon for the Packers as they defeated the Houston Texans 24-22. Doubs caught eight receptions for 94 yards on the day but didn’t score a single touchdown all game long. It would’ve been nice to see Doubs score a touchdown as his production helped his teammates Josh Jacobs, Tucker Kraft, and Dontavyion Wicks score touchdowns for the team in the victory.
Houston Texans: Stefon Diggs: F
Diggs had a very painful afternoon at Lambeau Field as he and the Texans were defeated by the Green Bay Packers 22-24. Diggs caught five receptions for 23 yards on the day. Diggs and the rest of the Texans’ passing attack were held to a combined 86 yards all game, as the Packers defense didn’t make things easy for the Texans all game.
Indianapolis Colts: Michael Pittman Jr.: C
Pittman Jr. and the Colts’ offense won an ugly 16-10 battle against the Miami Dolphins. Pittman Jr. caught three receptions for 63 yards but didn’t score a touchdown. Not the prettiest day for Pittman Jr. as the Colts need to regroup and get prepared for their week eight matchup on the road against the Houston Texans on the road.
Jacksonville Jaguars: Brian Thomas Jr.: A-
Thomas Jr. had a nice game abroad as the Jaguars defeated the New England Patriots 32-16. Thomas Jr. caught five receptions for 89 yards and scored a touchdown. Thomas Jr. looked sharp as he and the Jaguars returned to the United States and prepared to host the Green Bay Packers for a week eight showdown.
Kansas City Chiefs: Xavier Worthy: D-
Worthy and the Chiefs’ passing attack had another tough afternoon even though they earned the 28-12 win over the San Francisco 49ers in their Super Bowl 58 rematch. Worthy caught three receptions for 19 yards and rushed for five yards on a carry. Worthy, and the Chiefs receivers and tight ends are going to have to step it up as the competition continues to get tougher moving forward.
Las Vegas Raiders: Tre Tucker: D
Tucker and the Raiders struggled on the road in Hollywood, as they were defeated by the Los Angeles Rams 15-20 in a very ugly matchup. Tucker caught three receptions for 36 yards and rushed for 11 yards on a carry but didn’t score a single touchdown. Tucker and the Raiders are missing Davante Adams, who was traded to the New York Jets, and Jakobi Meyers was out due to an ankle injury. Tucker needs to step it up as the Raiders return home and welcome the Kansas City Chiefs to town for their week eight matchup.
Los Angeles Chargers: Joshua Palmer: C
Palmer had a decent night for the Bolts as they fell to the Arizona Cardinals 15-17 in last-second fashion. Palmer caught four receptions for 63 yards but didn’t score a single touchdown. Palmer and the Chargers’ offense played decently but couldn’t get the job done as they set to return home for week eight and welcome the New Orleans Saints to town.
Los Angeles Rams: Tyler Johnson: C-
Johnson had a decent afternoon for the Rams as they narrowly defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 20-15 in a very ugly matchup. Johnson caught four receptions for 57 yards. With the Rams’ injury woes at wide receiver, Johnson will have to step it up as the Rams welcome the Minnesota Vikings to town for their week eight matchup.
Miami Dolphins: Jaylen Waddle: F
Waddle and the Dolphins’ passing attack struggled in their 10-16 loss on the road against the Indianapolis Colts, even though tight end Jonnu Smith had a very nice game. Waddle caught a reception for 11 yards. It’s been very depressing to see Waddle and Tyreek Hill disappear from the Dolphins’ offense ever since Tua Tagovailoa suffered a gruesome concussion in week two. Hopefully, when Tagovailoa is healthy enough to return to action, Waddle can return to form.
Minnesota Vikings: Justin Jefferson: B+
Despite the Vikings losing 29-31 against the Detroit Lions, Justin Jefferson played very well. Jefferson caught seven receptions for 81 yards, scored a touchdown, and rushed for three yards on a carry. Jefferson looked great despite the Vikings’ undefeated season coming to an end.
New England Patriots: K.J. Osborn: D
Osborn had a decent afternoon as the Patriots were defeated 16-32 by the Jacksonville Jaguars. Osborn caught two receptions for 26 yards and scored a touchdown in the fourth quarter. Osborn and company need to step up for the Patriots, as Drake Maye can only do so much on the ground for the Patriots.
New Orleans Saints: Cedrick Wilson Jr.: C
Wilson Jr. had a decent night for the Who Dat’s even though they lost a painful 10-33 battle against the Denver Broncos. Wilson Jr. caught six receptions for 57 yards and scored the Saints’ only touchdown on the night from a touchdown pass thrown by Jake Haener as opposed to Spencer Rattler, who didn’t finish the game. Wilson Jr. needs to step it up as Rashid Shaheed’s season ended thanks to knee surgery on an injured meniscus.
New York Giants: Mailk Nabers: D
After missing the Giants’ last two games due to a concussion, Nabers returned to action even though the Giants lost 3-28 against their NFC East rivals, the Philadelphia Eagles. Nabers caught four receptions for 41 yards but didn’t score a single touchdown. Head coach Brian Daboll said he should be frustrated after losses because he was open a lot, even though the Giants are sticking with Daniel Jones as their quarterback moving into week eight when the Giants travel to the Steel City and square off against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football.
New York Jets: Garrett Wilson: C
Wilson had a decent night under the lights as the Jets unraveled 15-37 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Wilson caught five receptions for 61 yards but didn’t score any touchdowns. It was a brutal Sunday night for the Jets’ offense in the second half of the game as Wilson and the Jets needed to regroup for their week eight road trip against the New England Patriots.
Philadelphia Eagles: A.J. Brown: A-
Brown had a very nice game for the Eagles as they soared to an impressive 28-3 beatdown victory over their NFC East rivals, the New York Giants, on the road. Brown caught five receptions for 89 yards and scored a touchdown. Brown looked very good for the second week in a row after coming back from his hamstring injury and could be the glue that helps hold the Eagles’ offense together as the season continues.
Pittsburgh Steelers: George Pickens: A-
Similar to his teammate Najee Harris, Pickens had an incredible Sunday night as the Steelers decimated the New York Jets 37-15. Pickens, one of the league’s top wide receivers, caught five receptions for 111 yards and finally scored his first touchdown of the 2024 NFL season. Pickens played very well and formed a great on-field chemistry with Russell Wilson. This is something we NFL fans look forward to in the coming weeks.
San Francisco 49ers: Jacob Cowing: D+
Jacob Cowing had a somewhat decent afternoon even though the 49ers lost a tough 12-28 Super Bowl 58 rematch against the Kansas City Chiefs. Cowing caught two receptions for 50 yards on the day. However, Cowing’s teammate Brandon Aiyuk suffered an ACL injury, which effectively ended his 2024 season. Cowing and the rest of the 49ers’ receiving core needs to step up in Aiyuk’s absence.
Seattle Seahawks: DK Metcalf: A-
Metcalf had a very nice afternoon for the Seahawks in their 34-14 beatdown victory over the Atlanta Falcons, even though he had a knee injury late in the third quarter. Metcalf caught four receptions for 99 yards and scored a touchdown. If Metcalf is out long-term, Tyler Lockett and the other receivers on the Seahawks’ roster need to step up until Metcalf recovers.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Chris Godwin: C
Godwin had a decent night for the Bucs in their 31-41 loss at home to the Baltimore Ravens. Godwin caught seven receptions for 65 yards but didn’t score a touchdown. Godwin left the game with a gruesome ankle injury, which some have speculated could end his 2024 season. The Bucs losing Godwin is going to sting the team long-term. Meanwhile, Mike Evans also left the game with a hamstring injury, forcing the other receivers and tight ends to step up in times of need.
Tennessee Titans: Tyler Boyd: D+
Boyd had an average afternoon for the Titans as they were defeated by the Buffalo Bills 10-34. Boyd caught five receptions for 43 yards on the afternoon. Not the most impressive numbers, Boyd did what he could in a struggling offense while Calvin Ridley had three receptions for 42 yards despite being targeted nine times in the game.
Washington Commanders: Terry McLaurin: B-
McLaurin and the Commanders decimated the woeful Carolina Panthers in a 40-7 statement victory, even without Jayden Daniels, who suffered a rib injury during the game. McLaurin caught six receptions for 98 yards but didn’t score a touchdown. Even though McLaurin didn’t score a touchdown, one of the league’s under-the-radar wide receivers looked sharp as he continues to have a great 2024 NFL season.
