Wide receivers may not touch the ball as much as quarterbacks or running backs, but when they do, they can really make a dent. And as far as 2024 is concerned, this season has given us plenty of drama in the wide receiver department.
How about we take a look back at the year that was and rank them from last to first?
Who are the top-ranking wide receivers in the NFL after week 13?
32. Los Angeles Chargers: Joshua Palmer (Last Week: #32)
Another disappointing week out of Joshua Palmer. The Chargers’ “number one option” had just one catch for 11 yards.
31. San Francisco 49ers: Deebo Samuel (Last Week: #30)
Deebo Samuel continues to look like a shell of himself. Samuel, one of the league’s well-known wide receivers, caught just four passes in Week 13 for 20 yards.
30. New England Patriots: DeMario Douglas (Last Week: #23)

DeMario Douglas was quiet this week for the Patriots, as he snagged just four catches for 20 yards.
29. Cleveland Browns: Jerry Jeudy (Last Week: Not Ranked)
With Cedric Tillman out, Jerry Jeudy got slotted into wide receiver 1 duties and absolutely went off, hauling in nine catches for 235 yards and a score. If he can find any sort of consistency going forward, he will quickly climb up in the rankings.
28. Buffalo Bills: Amari Cooper (Last Week: #26)
Amari Cooper only had three catches for 12 yards, but he was part of that ridiculous Josh Allen touchdown catch, which deserves a hat tip.
27. Carolina Panthers: Xavier Legette (Last Week: #25)
Xavier Legette was decent this week, creating space for his finally developing quarterback to throw him the ball. He finished with four catches for 53 yards.
