The NFL regular season has now officially come and gone. Let’s look back and power rank every team’s top wide receiver.
32. New England Patriots DeVante Parker (Last Week #31)
It was a tough showing for DeVante Parker in Week 18 against a strong Jets defense in terrible weather. The Patriots wide receiver was nearly a literal nonfactor, as he caught just one pass for six yards on four targets.
31. Arizona Cardinals Rondale Moore (Last Week #32)
Rondale Moore had another tough game this week. The Cardinals de facto number on option caught just four passes for 41 yards.
30. Carolina Panther Adam Thielen (Last Week #27)
After an overall impressive 2023 campaign from Adam Thielen, the veteran wide receiver had an underwhelming close. He posted just a two-catch, 12-yard performance in Week 18 against the Buccaneers.

29. Atlanta Falcons Drake London (Last Week #29)
Unfortunately, not a huge shock at this point, but Drake London didn’t shine this week in Arthur Smith’s offense. The physically-imposing wideout was targeted nine times, but only caught four passes for 41 yards.
28. Cincinnati Bengals Ja’Marr Chase (Last Week #24)
It was honestly a little surprising to see that Ja’Marr Chase was out there at all this week, considering how meaningless the game was. The Bengals star receiver was mighty quiet despite a high-scoring afternoon for the Bengals, as he hauled in just four catches for 19 yards in the win.
27. New York Jets Garrett Wilson (Last Week #21)
There wasn’t much receiving to go around this week for the Jets wideouts, but Garrett Wilson did manage to still lead the way with an admittedly small total of 34 yards on two catches.
26. Washington Commanders Terry McLaurin (Last Week #17)
Terry McLaurin led Washington in receiving this week with six catches for 56 yards. A solid showing considering the Commanders offensive woes, but ideally McLaurin would be able to raise the floor for this group.
25. Cleveland Browns David Bell (Last Week N/A)
With Amari Cooper and Elijah Moore out, David Bell took over the WR1 responsibilities for the Browns this week. Bell made a nice contribution, especially considering he was catching passes from Jeff Driskel, as he went for over 40 yards and a touchdown on just a handful of targets.
24. New Orleans Saints Chris Olave (Last Week #28)
Chris Olave had a solid outing this week with a potential postseason berth hanging in the balance. The former Ohio State star hauled in three catches for 56 yards and a touchdown.
23. Baltimore Ravens Nelson Agholor (Last Week N/A)
With Zay Flowers resting in a meaningless Week 18 showdown with the Steelers, Nelson Agholor got slotted into first-string duties. He had a decent showing all things considered, hauling in five catches on five targets for 39 yards.
22. Denver Broncos Jerry Jeudy (Last Week #25)
Week 18 was definitely one of the better starts we’ve seen out of Jerry Jeudy since he was slotted into first-string duties with the injury to Courtland Sutton. He finished the game with three catches for 79 yards an a touchdown.
21. Buffalo Bills Stefon Diggs (Last Week #30)
Stefon Diggs had himself a nice game this week with the AFC East crown on the line. The Bills star receiver hauled in seven catches for 87 yards in the clinching win.
20. Seattle Seahawks DK Metcalf (Last Week #11)
After a hot couple of weeks, DK Metcalf’s production took a big dip this week. The dynamic, physical wideout caught just one pass on six targets for 10 yards in Week 18 against the Cardinals.
19. Tennessee Titans DeAndre Hopkins (Last Week #26)
Though Deandre Hopkins might not be pleased with his final stat line, as he finished just a handful of yards short of a big incentive in his contract, the Titans WR1 did play well this week for the Titans. Nuk hauled in seven catches for 46 yards and a score—and you have to think that the team might just end up honoring that incentive for his efforts!
18. Los Angeles Chargers Joshua Palmer (Last Week N/A)
Joshua Palmer got slotted back into first-string duties this week, but he was relatively quiet against a tough Chiefs defense. The dynamic receiver caught six of 10 targets from Easton Stick for 44 yards.
17. Indianapolis Colts Michael Pittman Jr. (Last Week #18)
Michael Pittman Jr. still looked a little off this week, but he did play fairly well. He finished the contest having made five catches for 44 yards.
Regardless of the anticlimactic finish, Pittman did have a heck of a season for this young Colts team.
16. Philadelphia Eagles A.J. Brown (Last Week #13)
Week 18 was not A.J. Brown’s week. He completed just one catch for nine yards before leaving the game with a knee injury, making him the latest victim of the Meadowlands turf.
15. Green Bay Packers Romeo Doubs (Last Week #20)
Rome Doubs was a complete nonfactor this week for Green Bay. The Packers first-string wide receiver failed to catch his lone target and finished the game with goose eggs across the board in the stat sheet.
14. Las Vegas Raiders Davante Adams (Last Week #10)
Davante Adams didn’t have the monster stat line he put up in Week 17, but it was another solid week for the star receiver. He finished the contest with five catches for 46 yards and a touchdown.
13. Pittsburgh Steelers Geroge Pickens (Last Week #7)
After a torrid couple of weeks, George Pickens was a zero this week against the Ravens. It is worth noting that the Steelers weren’t doing much throwing of the football with the harsh weather conditions.
12. Jacksonville Jaguars Calvin Ridley (Last Week #22)
Calvin Ridley had a huge game for the Jaguars this week, albeit in a losing effort. The shifty wide receiver hauled in six catches for 106 yards and a score in the 20 to 28 season-ending loss.
11. Kansas City Chiefs Mecole Hardman Jr. (Last Week #6)
With Rashee Rice resting this week, Mecole Hardman got a shot at WR1 duties. The speedster capitalized on the opportunity, even with Patrick Mahomes out of the lineup, as he hauled in six catches 77 yards.
10. San Francisco 49ers Brandon Aiyuk (Last Week #3)
Brandon Aiyuk was quiet this week for San Francisco. Perhaps the wideout hasn’t built up much rapport with Sam Darnold, who was starting for Brock Purdy.
When the final whistle blew, Aiyuk tallied three catches for 25 yards.
9. Chicago Bears DJ Moore (Last Week #4)
Week 17 may have been a big one for DJ Moore, but the Bears star receiver wasn’t able to match that level in the final game of the season. Moore caught four of six targets for 64 yards against Green Bay.
8. New York Giants Darius Slayton (Last Week #12)
Darius Slayton has managed to piece together a nice little closing to his 2023 season. The Giants wide receiver snagged five catches for 62 yards an a touchdown this week.
7. Los Angeles Rams Puka Nacua (Last Week #14)
With Cooper Kupp resting, Puka Nacua got the wide receiver 1 responsibilities this week, though, frankly, he has been playing like the lead guy for most of the season.
The Rookie of the Year candidate snagged four catches for 41 yards and a touchdown, surpassing the long-standing rookie receiving yards record in the process.
6. Houston Texans Nico Collins (Last Week #23)
Nico Collins looked fully heaNico Collins had a monster game with the playoffs on the line. The Texans top receiver finished with nine receptions for 195 yards and a touchdown, almost single-handedly beating the Colts.lthy in his second week back from injury. He hauled in seven of eight targets for 80 yards with a long of 21 in the win.
5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Mike Evans (Last Week #5)
Mike Evans was quiet this week in the division-clinching win against the Panthers having caught just three of eight targets for 22 yards. That said, the future Hall of Famer had another extremely impressive season that somehow still flew under the radar. He finished the regular season having hauled in 76 catches for 1233 yards and an NFL leading 13 touchdowns.
4. Miami Dolphins Tyreek Hill (Last Week #9)
Tyreek Hill is one freak of an athlete. The talented wide receiver had another big game for Miami, including an awesome touchdown catch he made towards the end of the first half. He did have one untimely drop, but still managed to lead the Dolphins in receiving with seven catches for 82 yards and the aforementioned score.
3. Minnesota Vikings Justin Jefferson (Last Week #8)
With Nick Mullens back under center, Justin Jefferson saw a ton of action this week and had a very impressive game. The Vikings star receiver hauled in 12 receptions for 192 yards and a score with a long of 38.
2. Detroit Lions Amon-Ra St. Brown (Last Week #2)
Week 18 was much like the rest of the 2023 season—Amon-Ra St. Brown put up a monster game. The speedy Lions receiver hauled in seven of 10 targets for an impressive 144 yards and a touchdown.
1. Dallas Cowboys CeeDee Lamb (Last Week #1)
What a year for CeeDee Lamb! The Cowboys superstar capped off his 1600-plus-yard season with another monster game to close out the year.
Lamb caught all 13 targets against Washington and converted them into 98 yards and two touchdowns.
