NFL Wide Receiver Power Rankings 2025

On this page, you’ll find my power rankings of the Top 50 wide receivers in the league. This is not a fantasy rank, nor is it just an order of the players with the best statistics.

The ranks take into account each player’s age and skillset, giving bonus points to those who have been able to produce despite erratic quarterback play.

So without further ado, let’s get right into the top 50 wide receiver power rankings following the 2025 NFL season.

49. Rashid Shaheed, New Orleans Saints

Rashid Shaheed has demonstrated the ability to take the top off an opposing defense. The only reason why he’s lower on this list is because he’s coming off meniscus surgery.

48. Khalil Shakir, Buffalo Bills

Khalil Shakir has developed into a dependable slot target for Josh Allen. But there’s not too much upside here. .

47. Josh Downs, Indianapolis Colts

You can make a legitimate case that Josh Downs is the top wideout on the Colts, but I’ll keep him a bit lower on this list due to his limited track record.

46. Jayden Reed, Green Bay Packers

The Packers continue to misuse Jayden Reed by limiting him to 3-WR looks. This is a talented wideout who can make plays after the catch. However, he’s currently dealing with injury.

45. Cooper Kupp, Seattle Seahawks

Cooper Kupp started off strong but faded as the season progressed, showing serious signs of decline. I’m leaving him at 37 due to previous performance, but I’m definitely concerned going forward.

44. Keon Coleman, Buffalo Bills

Keon Coleman has flashed some upside so far, he just needs to put a full season together in order to fly up this list.

43. Deebo Samuel, Washington Commanders

Deebo Samuel failed to live up to expectations in 2024. There’s a decent chance that this is a veteran who is declining quickly. However, so far, so good in Washington.

42. Michael Pittman Jr, Indianapolis Colts

Michael Pittman Jr. is coming off a disappointing season where he was held back by poor quarterback play. The only reason why he’s ahead of Josh Downs is due to track record.

41. Darnell Mooney, Atlanta Falcons

Darnell Mooney revived his career with the Falcons. It will be interesting to see how the former Bear looks with a full season of Michael Penix Jr.

NFL Wide Receiver Power Rankings 40-31

40. Jauan Jennings, San Francisco 49ers

Jauan Jennings came out of nowhere to become the top wideout for the 49ers. I don’t think this was a flash in the pan — more likely that Jennings was always a good player who finally got an opportunity and was able to capitalize.

39. Jakobi Meyers, Las Vegas Raiders

Jakobi Meyers has developed into one of the most underrated wideouts in football. This is a dependable target who has been able to produce despite erratic quarterback play.

38. Xavier Worthy, Kansas City Chiefs

Xavier Worthy had a somewhat disappointing rookie year, but he came on strong in the second half of the season. Hopefully, he can get back on track once he returns from injury.

37. Chris Godwin, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Chris Godwin was on his way to a monster season before tearing his ACL. The veteran wideout would be higher on this list, but we need to see how he adjusts in 2025.

36. Brandon Aiyuk, San Francisco 49ers

Brandon Aiyuk was in the midst of a disappointing season before it ended prematurely due to a torn ACL. This is a wideout who would be much higher on this list if it weren’t for injury.

35. Jerry Jeudy, Cleveland Browns

Jerry Jeudy had a breakout year with the Browns, which was helped out by Jameis Winston and the Amari Cooper trade. But let’s not forget that this is a wideout who is still only 25 years old.

34. Rome Odunze, Chicago Bears

Rome Odunze didn’t get it done as a rookie, but I’m putting the blame on poor coaching. This is a big-bodied wideout who showed strong separation skills on tape. Odunze is off to a terrific start so far.

33. Emeka Egbuka, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Emeka Egbuka looks like a future star for the Bucs. This is a polished wideout who can win on the slot and in the perimeter.

32. Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers

Tetairoa McMillan looks like a future alpha No. 1 wide receiver. Expect a strong year as Bryce Young’s top target.

31. Marvin Harrison Jr, Arizona Cardinals

Marvin Harrison Jr. let us down in 2024, but part of that was because the Cardinals misused him as a “sacrificial x-receiver," which is a fantasy football term meaning that he’s running clearout routes on the perimeter. Diversify Harrison’s route tree and watch him thrive.

NFL Wide Receiver Power Rankings 30-21

30. Calvin Ridley, Tennessee Titans

We have to give Calvin Ridley some credit for putting up respectable numbers despite playing with some of the worst quarterbacks in the NFL in Will Levis and Mason Rudolph.

29. Jaylen Waddle, Miami Dolphins

Jaylen Waddle has now given us back-to-back disappointing seasons. I’m still holding out hope due to a dominant 2022 season, but Waddle needs to show us more in 2025.

28. DJ Moore, Chicago Bears

DJ Moore had a disappointing first year with Caleb Williams, but a big part of that was due to poor coaching. I expect an upgrade there in 2025, allowing Moore to get back on track.

27. Jordan Addison, Minnesota Vikings

Jordan Addison has proven that he’s more than just a supporting receiver, demonstrating the separation skills to consistently win downfield.

26. Chris Olave, New Orleans Saints

Chris Olave had an injury-riddled 2024 season, but this is still a wideout who can win downfield and earn targets at a high rate. I’m still hopeful for Olave going forward.

25. Courtland Sutton, Denver Broncos

Courtland Sutton is another underrated wideout who has become a dependable target, making contested catches downfield. The veteran quickly became Bo Nix’s favorite option in 2024.

24. DK Metcalf, Pittsburgh Steelers

DK Metcalf should turn in a solid season as the top target for Aaron Rodgers. While it’s been a slow start, looking for some strong production as the year progresses.

23. George Pickens, Dallas Cowboys

George Pickens showed that he can be more than just a deep threat this season. Let’s hope that he can stay healthy as he enters his age-24 year. Expect a breakout year in Dallas.

22. Jameson Williams, Detroit Lions

Jameson Williams broke out in 2024, showcasing that game-changing speed that made him such a coveted asset in the 2022 draft. This is an intriguing talent who could soar up this list with another strong year.

21. Terry McLaurin, Washington Commanders

Terry McLaurin put up a productive season despite being the lone dependable target at wide receiver for rookie Jayden Daniels. This is one of the most consistent wideouts in football.

NFL Wide Receiver Power Rankings 20-11

20. DeVonta Smith, Philadelphia Eagles

DeVonta Smith has the ability to separate from defenders and make plays downfield, but his numbers are suppressed because the Eagles still deploy a run-heavy offense.

19. Zay Flowers, Baltimore Ravens

Zay Flowers has elite separation skills, making him a perfect fit for Lamar Jackson. The only reason why Flowers doesn’t have better numbers is that this is still a run-heavy offense.

18. Tyreek Hill, Miami Dolphins

Tyreek Hill had his worst season since his rookie year, giving us concerns about a potential decline. But there’s a chance that he was playing through injury, so I’ll leave him in the top 18.

17. Mike Evans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Mike Evans continues his remarkable run of consistency, keeping him in the top 17 wideouts. As with Davante Adams and Tyreek Hill, we have to worry about a steep decline at any moment, however.

16. Davante Adams, Los Angeles Rams

Davante Adams has proven to still have something left in the tank, but the age cliff could hit at any moment. With that said, there haven’t been any signs of decline just yet.

15. Rashee Rice, Kansas City Chiefs

The Chiefs badly need Rashee Rice back in the lineup. Look for him to dominate targets once he returns from his suspension.

14. Garrett Wilson, New York Jets

Garrett Wilson was on his way to a huge year before the Jets traded for Aaron Rodgers’ good buddy Davante Adams. Rodgers was force-feeding targets to Adams down the stretch.

13. Tee Higgins, Cincinnati Bengals

Tee Higgins is coming off a monster year. The only question is injury and where he’ll play next year. This is an alpha who can win downfield and dominate targets.

12. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Seattle Seahawks

Jaxon Smith-Njigba had a breakout season in 2024, proving that he’s more than just a slot receiver who gets underneath targets, as he was used as a rookie by Shane Waldron.

11. Ladd McConkey, Los Angeles Chargers

Ladd McConkey was able to produce at a high level despite being the main target for the Chargers. This target-earning ability has me bullish on McConkey in 2025.

NFL Wide Receiver Power Rankings 10-1

10. Drake London, Atlanta Falcons

We were deprived of a Drake London breakout season because Kirk Cousins wasn’t anywhere close to his usual self off a torn Achilles. With a more mobile Michael Penix Jr under center, London should explode in 2025.

9. Amon-Ra St. Brown, Detroit Lions

Amon-Ra St. Brown has developed into one of the most consistent wideouts in football. The Lions’ star now has at least 10+ touchdowns in each of his last two seasons.

8. Brian Thomas Jr, Jacksonville Jaguars

Brian Thomas Jr. produced at a high level despite dealing with poor coaching and catching passes from Mac Jones for a portion of the year. The former LSU standout looks like the next A.J. Brown.

7. A.J. Brown, Philadelphia Eagles

A.J. Brown is the textbook example of a receiver who is better in real life than fantasy football. Brown is the total package at receiver, but his numbers are suppressed because of a run-heavy offense.

6. Puka Nacua, Los Angeles Rams

Puka Nacua returned from injury midseason and absolutely dominated down the stretch. It’s clear that Nacua is here to stay as one of the best wideouts in football. The second-year receiver put up an impressive 3.46 yards per route run in 2024.

5. Nico Collins, Houston Texans

It has been incredible to watch Nico Collins develop into the next Andre Johnson for the Texans. This is a big-bodied wideout who can win downfield or function as a possession receiver.

4. CeeDee Lamb, Dallas Cowboys

CeeDee Lamb looks poised for a bounce-back season now that he has George Pickens on the other side, taking away defensive attention.

3. Malik Nabers, New York Giants

Malik Nabers has the ability to dominate targets and take it to the house on any play, reminding some of Odell Beckham with the Giants. Give Nabers some competent quarterback play and watch him absolutely explode in 2025.

2. Justin Jefferson, Minnesota Vikings

Justin Jefferson helped Sam Darnold revive his career. This is an alpha who can win at all levels of the field. It will be interesting to see how he grows with J.J. McCarthy.

1. Ja’Marr Chase, Cincinnati Bengals

Ja’Marr Chase is coming off a dominant season, helped by an MVP-caliber year from Joe Burrow. This is the perfect match of talent at receiver and quarterback.
