We’ve seen some surprising shakeups at the wide receiver position this year. Youngsters such as Jaxon Smith-Njigba and George Pickens have broken out and put up monster stats, while established stars at the position, such as Justin Jefferson, A.J. Brown, and CeeDee Lamb, have seen their production go up and down. Here are my top 15 NFL wide receivers for Week 16.
Week 16 Wide Receiver Rankings
15. Tee Higgins
Higgins has struggled to stay healthy at times this season, but he’s still among the NFL’s elite at the position. His long frame and strong hands help him to make spectacular catches at a consistent rate.
14. Jaylen Waddle
Waddle hasn’t been great recently, but I’d blame the quarterback rather than the talented receiver. Waddle’s explosive speed would make him a game-breaker if paired with a competent downfield passer.

13. Tetairoa McMillan
McMillan is having a good rookie year, but his recent lack of involvement is puzzling. He’s the Panthers’ only consistent receiving option, yet he has just six targets and three catches in his last two games.
