5. Philadelphia Eagles
DeVonta Smith could be a WR1 on about ten other teams around the league. Sure, A.J. Brown may have lost a step, but the Eagles offensive woes are more about their playcaller and quarterback than the talent on the outside. Jahan Dotson used to be a pivotal part of the Washington Commanders offense, and now he’s a depth piece for the Super Bowl champs.
4. Minnesota Vikings
Another team propped up in these NFL power rankings despite not having the stats to back it up. If anyone wants to argue that Justin Jefferson isn’t the best receiver in the league, that’s a discussion. If they want to argue that the combination of Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and Jalen Nailor isn’t one of the best, that’s a losing argument. J.J. McCarthy and injuries have held this team back, but their receivers are still some of the best in the business.
3. Cincinnati Bengals
Ja’Marr Chase plus Tee Higgins. That’s it. That’s all anyone needs to know. As Tee Higgins attempts to return from concussion protocol, we’ve seen this room without him, and Andrei Iosivas and Mitchell Tinsley can hold down the fort. Tinsley is a story of perseverance, and he’s seeing his first meaningful playing time of his career this year for Cincinnati. He’s a feel-good story making the roster as a UDFA for the Commanders in 2023, but he’s making an impact already.
2. Dallas Cowboys
If Ceedee Lamb is active, there’s an argument that they’re the best receiver room in the country. George Pickens perfectly complements Ceedee Lamb’s strengths, while KeVontae Turpin and Ryan Fluornoy have both shown the ability to explode if ignored by opposing defenses.
1. Los Angeles Rams
Davante Adams is aging like a fine wine. Puka Nacua is as powerful as a tight end with the speed to challenge corners deep down the field. The rest of their room is full of guys who are great NFL trivia questions, but can provide depth behind two of the best receivers in the league. As the Rams make their postseason push, they’ll rely on their NFL-best wide receivers to carry them through.
