The air attack is alive and well in the NFL, and by Week 15, the league’s wide receivers 1’s have defined themselves — for better or worse. Some guys are slicing up secondaries with speed, precision, and sticky hands, while others are dropping passes and disappearing in crunch time.
Let’s break it all down and rank every team’s top wide receiver from worst to first!
Who are the top-ranking wide receivers in the NFL after week 15?
32. Los Angeles Chargers: Joshua Palmer (Last Week #28)
Joshua Palmer had another down week. The deep threat caught just two passes for 10 yards. He has been, far and away, one of the biggest disappointments of the year.
31. San Francisco 49ers: Deebo Samuel (Last Week #32)
Another week and another massive disappointment came out of Deebo Samuel, who caught just three passes for 16 yards in the loss.

29. Pittsburgh Steelers: Mike Williams (Last Week #29)
Steelers wide receiver Mike Williams was a nonfactor on Sunday. The burly receiver caught just one pass for 15 yards.
28. Arizona Cardinals: Marvin Harrison Jr. (Last Week #24)
Marvin Harrison Jr. continues to be a bit of a shocking disappointment thus far in his young NFL career. He secured just two catches for 32 yards on Sunday.

DeMario Douglas did well to snag a touchdown catch but not much else, as he finished with three catches for 11 yards.

26. Las Vegas Raiders: Jakobi Meyers (Last Week #27)
Jakobi Meyers has done well to chip in here and there despite the wildly inconsistent quarterback play. That said, Monday Night was certainly not his most productive outing, as the Falcons did well to keep him in check most of the night.
25. Kansas City Chiefs: DeAndre Hopkins (Last Week #19)
DeAndre Hopkins was quiet on Sunday in the Chiefs win, along with the rest of the Chiefs’ offensive attack. The wide receiver caught five of six targets for 36 yards.
24. Tennessee Titans: Calvin Ridley (Last Week #21)
Calvin Ridley was quiet against a weak Bengals secondary. He caught just three passes for 41 yards in the loss.
23. Green Bay Packers: Christian Watson (Last Week #23)
Christian Watson was good but not great on Sunday. The speedster hauled in three catches for 56 yards in the win.
22. Seattle Seahawks: DK Metcalf (Last Week #20)
DK Metcalf was mighty quiet this week, snagging just three catches for 28 yards in the loss. Not what we are used to seeing out of the physically imposing wide receiver.
21. Indianapolis Colts: Michael Pittman Jr. (Last Week #25)
Michael Pittman Jr. was solid for Indy on Sunday, hauling in six catches for 58 yards. It hasn’t been his best season to date, but the veteran wide receiver continues to grind it out on Sundays despite his team’s tumultuous quarterback situation.
20. Miami Dolphins: Tyreek Hill (Last Week #8)
Tyreek Hill was a nonfactor on Sunday, as his 2024 struggles continue. He caught just two passes for 36 yards in the loss.
19. New Orleans Saints: Marquez Valdes-Scantling (Last Week #17)
Saints wide receiver Valdes-Scantling led the way for all Saints receivers on Sunday in classic MVS fashion with just two catches but an impressive 64 yards.
18. Jacksonville Jaguars: Brian Thomas Jr. (Last Week #26)
Brian Thomas Jr. was a beast on Sunday. The rookie shredded the Jets defense for 10 catches, 105 yards, and two scores.
17. Buffalo Bills: Ty Johnson (Last Week: Not Ranked)
With Amari Cooper missing in action, Ty Johnson took over the number one responsibilities and snagged five impressive catches for 114 yards.
16. Chicago Bears: DJ Moore (Last Week #14)
DJ Moore is a true WR1, making plays at every level of the field and giving Williams a reliable option. He just needs to become a little bit more accountable as a teammate and leader on this young squad.
15. Denver Broncos: Courtland Sutton (Last Week #6)
Veteran wide receiver Courtland Sutton led the way for Denver’s receivers with a modest three-reception, 32-yard, and one-touchdown performance.
14. Cleveland Browns: Jerry Jeudy (Last Week #15)
Jerry Jeudy has really turned it around this year in Cleveland. The former Alabama standout had an impressive 11 catches for 108 yards.
13. Baltimore Ravens: Zay Flowers (Last Week #9)
Zay Flowers was quiet this week, taking a back seat to Rashod Bateman and Justice Hill, but still managed to contribute six catches for 53 yards.
12. Atlanta Falcons: Drake London (Last Week #12)
Drake London is a baller who makes tough catches look easy. But he’s also stuck in an offense that can’t fully unlock his potential. All things considered, he has been impressive this season, and he managed to secure a big touchdown catch for Atlanta this week.
11. New York Giants: Malik Nabers (Last Week #11)
Malik Nabers had a solid showing despite the mess unfolding at quarterback. He snagged 10 catches for 82 yards and a score.
10. Dallas Cowboys: CeeDee Lamb (Last Week #18)
CeeDee Lamb had another massive performance this week, connecting with Cooper Rush nine times for 116 yards and one touchdown.
9. Houston Texans: Nico Collins (Last Week #2)
Nico Collins had a ridiculously efficient outing, catching just four passes for 17 yards but converting two of the catches for touchdowns.
8. Detroit Lions: Amon-Ra St. Brown (Last Week #13)
What a game for Amon-Ra St. Brown! The Lions’ number one option absolutely lit up Buffalo for 14 catches, 193 yards, and a score.
7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Mike Evans (Last Week #10)
Star wide receiver Mike Evans did what Mike Evans does and put up a beastly performance, snagging nine catches for 159 yards and two scores.
6. New York Jets: Garrett Wilson (Last Week #16)
Garrett Wilson had a nice afternoon with three catches for 56 yards and a score but took a backseat to Davante Adams. Rodgers and Adams were a two-man wrecking crew, combining for 198 yards and two TDs.
5. Philadelphia Eagles: A.J. Brown (Last Week #7)
A.J. Brown and Jalen Hurts seemed to have squashed the beef, as he had a big showing, snagging eight catches for 110 yards and a score.
4. Los Angeles Rams: Puka Nacua (Last Week #4)
Thursday Night Football marked another impressive showing for Puka Nacua. He snagged seven catches for 97 yards in the win.
3. Washington Commanders: Terry McLaurin (Last Week #5)
Another week and another monster showing from Scary Terry. The dynamic wideout hauled in seven of 10 targets for 73 yards and two scores.
2. Minnesota Vikings: Justin Jefferson (Last Week #3)
Few guys have ever played the position of wide receiver like J.J. The man is a force to be reckoned with to the umpteenth degree, and it should be no surprise that the struggling Bears couldn’t stop him from getting into the end zone on Monday Night Football.
1. Cincinnati Bengals: Ja'Marr Chase (Last Week #1)
It is crazy that it felt like Ja’Marr Chase had a down game with nine receptions and 94 yards, as the guy has set a ridiculous standard for how he can light it up.
