The league’s best wide receivers can change an NFL game with a single play—just ask the Minnesota Vikings, who have had the good fortune of leaning on Justin Jefferson for quite a few of those of the past few seasons.
Let’s take a look around the NFL and power rank all of the team’s top wide receivers after six weeks of action.
Who are the top wide receivers in the NFL after week 6 of games?
32. Tennessee Titans: Calvin Ridley (Last Week #30)
The Calvin Ridley experiment is trending downward fast. The frustrated receiver didn’t record a single catch and openly expressed his displeasure post-game as Tennessee’s passing game hit rock bottom.
31. Las Vegas Raiders: DJ Turner (Last Week NR)
Thrust into the WR1 role due to injuries, Turner’s debut as the top target was a reality check. He caught just two of four targets for 37 yards in a rough loss for the Raiders.
30. Arizona Cardinals: Marvin Harrison Jr. (Last Week #23)

Harrison Jr.’s quiet outing was cut short by a concussion. The promising rookie failed to make an impact, with zero receptions on two targets.
29. Los Angeles Chargers: Joshua Palmer (Last Week #32)
Though listed as the Chargers’ WR1, Palmer remains a non-factor in the offense. He was targeted just three times, catching two passes for 38 yards.
28. New Orleans Saints: Chris Olave (Last Week #24)
Olave had a forgettable afternoon, managing only one catch for five yards before exiting the game due to a concussion.
27. Jacksonville Jaguars: Christian Kirk (Last Week #13)
Kirk continues to get lost in the shuffle as Jacksonville’s offense falters. He managed just three catches for 39 yards while his teammates absorbed most of the attention.
26. Buffalo Bills: Keon Coleman (Last Week #20)
A quiet Monday Night Football for Coleman, who finished with three receptions for just 26 yards, leaving much to be desired from the Bills’ passing attack.
25. Pittsburgh Steelers: George Pickens (Last Week #28)
Pickens had three catches for 53 yards but remains vocal about his dissatisfaction with his usage, adding to Pittsburgh’s off-field drama.
24. San Francisco 49ers: Brandon Aiyuk (Last Week #12)
Aiyuk was overshadowed by Deebo Samuel, managing only two catches for 37 yards. San Francisco’s inconsistent target distribution continues to limit his production.
23. Cleveland Browns: Amari Cooper (Last Week #21)
Cooper remains a victim of Deshaun Watson’s struggles, recording just four catches for 42 yards in yet another underwhelming outing.
22. Chicago Bears: DJ Moore (Last Week #15)
Moore’s production dipped with only 20 yards on four catches, as Caleb Williams missed him on a would-be touchdown, leaving fans and coaches wanting more.
21. Denver Broncos: Courtland Sutton (Last Week #29)
Sutton’s garbage-time touchdown added gloss to an otherwise ordinary performance. He finished with four catches for 53 yards and a late score.
20. Carolina Panthers: Diontae Johnson (Last Week #27)
Johnson looked sharp in Carolina’s loss, leading the team with 78 yards and a touchdown on six catches despite the offense’s struggles.
19. Miami Dolphins: Tyreek Hill (bye) (Last Week #22)
This season has been unusually quiet for Hill, whose production has faltered amid Miami’s quarterback instability.
18. New York Giants: Darius Slayton (Last Week #10)
Stepping into a lead role, Slayton grabbed six catches for 57 yards, showing solid chemistry with Daniel Jones despite the loss.
17. Los Angeles Rams: Tutu Atwell (Last Week #19)
Atwell has done his best in a challenging role but hasn’t quite stepped up as the dynamic playmaker Los Angeles hoped for during Kupp’s absence.
16. New England Patriots: DeMario Douglas (Last Week #26)
Douglas had a breakout game with six catches for 92 yards and a touchdown, becoming a bright spot in New England’s offense.
15. Seattle Seahawks: D.K. Metcalf (Last Week #7)
Metcalf had a quiet outing, but Tyler Lockett picked up the slack with a crucial touchdown. Metcalf finished with just three catches for 48 yards.
14. Indianapolis Colts: Michael Pittman Jr. (Last Week #17)
Playing through injury, Pittman showed resilience, hauling in three catches for 35 yards, including the game-winning touchdown.
13. Green Bay Packers: Jayden Reed (Last Week #16)
Reed made the most of his limited opportunities, catching all six of his targets for 28 yards and a touchdown.
12. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Mike Evans (Last Week #4)
Evans took a backseat to Chris Godwin’s big day, managing just two catches for 34 yards. It was a rare, quiet outing for Tampa’s star receiver.
11. Houston Texans: Stefon Diggs (Last Week #18)
Diggs led the Texans’ receiving corps, catching six passes for 77 yards and a touchdown, proving invaluable to C.J. Stroud’s continued success.
10. Kansas City Chiefs: Xavier Worthy (Last Week #14)
Worthy faces growing pressure with Rashee Rice sidelined for the season, but Kansas City may seek additional help in their receiving corps as they chase a three-peat.
9. Dallas Cowboys: CeeDee Lamb (Last Week #11)
Lamb stood tall despite Dallas’s struggles, securing seven catches for 89 yards, even though his efforts came too late to matter.
8. Detroit Lions: Amon-Ra St. Brown (Last Week #9)
St. Brown was efficient in Detroit’s blowout win, catching every target thrown his way for 37 yards and a touchdown.
7. Cincinnati Bengals: Ja'Marr Chase (Last Week #1)
Chase cooled off in Week 6 but still managed 72 yards on five catches, continuing to prove his worth as one of the league’s elite receivers.
6. Washington Commanders: Terry McLaurin (Last Week #5)
McLaurin thrived with Jayden Daniels under center, snagging two touchdowns and four additional catches for 53 yards in a hard-fought loss.
5. New York Jets: Garrett Wilson (Last Week #6)
Wilson seems to be clicking with Aaron Rodgers, hauling in eight of ten targets for 107 yards and a touchdown in a standout performance.
4. Baltimore Ravens: Zay Flowers (Last Week #8)
Flowers was electric against Washington, racking up nine catches for 132 yards as he torched the Commanders’ secondary.
3. Atlanta Falcons: Drake London (Last Week #3)
London delivered once again, recording 74 yards and a touchdown on six catches, continuing to build rapport with Kirk Cousins.
2. Philadelphia Eagles: A.J. Brown (Last Week NR)
Brown’s return to the Eagles’ lineup was nothing short of spectacular. He caught six passes for 116 yards and a touchdown, proving why he’s one of the best in the league.
1. Minnesota Vikings: Justin Jefferson (bye) (Last Week #2)
It’s more of the same from Justin Jefferson, who continues to dominate the league. He’s once again proving that few receivers can carry an offense like he can.
