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 during the 2025 NFL season.

NFL Wide Receiver Power Rankings 50-41

50. Keenan Allen, Los Angeles Chargers

Keenan Allen is proving that there’s still something left in the tank, once again performing as a rock-solid possession receiver for the Chargers.

Keep on reading below the widget to see who we have ranked as the top wide receiver.


49. Quentin Johnston, Los Angeles Chargers

Quentin Johnston has slowed down after such a promising start. I have him lower in these ranks due to his disappointing first two seasons, but you have to like what he’s done this year.

48. Wan’Dale Robinson, New York Giants

Wan’Dale Robinson is another underrated slot receiver who can make it happen as an underneath target.

47. Jayden Reed, Green Bay Packers

Jayden Reed is similar to both Downs and Shakir. He’s had an injury-riddled season so far, which is why he’s so low on this list.

46. Josh Downs, Indianapolis Colts

It would be nice if we saw more of Josh Downs, but he’s similar to Shakir: a slot receiver who can generate yards after the catch.

45. Khalil Shakir, Buffalo Bills

Khalil Shakir isn’t going to wow you, but he’s exactly the type of slot receiver you want to move the chains in your offense.

44. Jauan Jennings, San Francisco 49ers

Jauan Jennings has been disappointing this season due to injuries, but he’s still a dependable possession receiver.

43. Darnell Mooney, Atlanta Falcons

Darnell Mooney is a dependable No. 2 who is a polished route-runner. Despite underwhelming numbers this year, he’s a rock-solid wideout.

42. 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.

41. 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.

NFL Wide Receiver Power Rankings 40-31

40. Rashid Shaheed, Seattle Seahawks

Rashid Shaheed has the ability to take the top off the opposing defense, making him more valuable in real life than in fantasy.

39. Jakobi Meyers, Jacksonville Jaguars

It’s been an abysmal year for Jakobi Meyers, but there’s a good chance that he’ll be rejuvenated by the trade to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

38. 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 it’s been a disappointing season this time around. Still, the production is there to retain this spot.

37. Xavier Worthy, Kansas City Chiefs

I’m not sure if it’s due to the shoulder injury that Xavier Worthy sustained in Week 1, but he’s been extremely disappointing this year.

36. Deebo Samuel, Washington Commanders

Deebo Samuel has been a dependable option for the Commanders this season, so he’s a riser in these ranks.

35. DJ Moore, Chicago Bears

DJ Moore has devolved into a gadget receiver that is better utilized as a No. 2 than the No. 1 we used to know and love.

34. Ricky Pearsall, San Francisco 49ers

Injuries have deprived us of what would have been a breakout year for Ricky Pearsall. Hopefully, he can come back healthy soon.

33. Jameson Williams, Detroit Lions

Jameson Williams is one of the biggest fallers on this list in what’s been an extremely disappointing season. Let’s hope that we see a better second half.

32. Tyreek Hill, Miami Dolphins

Tyreek Hill showed that he still has something left in the tank. But he’s a huge faller in these ranks because we don’t know how he’ll look when he returns from injury.

31. Terry McLaurin, Washington Commanders

Terry McLaurin is a major faller in these ranks after being injured for most of the season. When healthy, he’s still capable of being the top target in an offense.

NFL Wide Receiver Power Rankings 30-21

30. Mike Evans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Mike Evans has had an injury-riddled season, but he’s still a viable deep threat and contested-catch specialist when healthy.

29. Michael Pittman Jr, Indianapolis Colts

Michael Pittman Jr. is back healthy once again, showing you why he’s a dependable possession receiver.

28. 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.

27. Rome Odunze, Chicago Bears

Rome Odunze has been the Bears’ WR1 this season. He looks like a complete receiver.

26. Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers

Tetairoa McMillan looks like a future alpha No. 1 wide receiver. He’s been held back by a conservative offense.

25. Marvin Harrison Jr, Arizona Cardinals

Marvin Harrison Jr. is producing at a high level with Jacoby Brissett. Perhaps it was Kyler Murray who held him back.

24. Courtland Sutton, Denver Broncos

Courtland Sutton is another underrated wideout who has become a dependable target, making contested catches downfield.

23. DK Metcalf, Pittsburgh Steelers

DK Metcalf still has the ability to make big plays downfield. The veteran is better than his numbers suggest, it’s just the offense that he plays in.

22. Chris Olave, New Orleans Saints

Chris Olave has been quite impressive despite playing in a dumpster fire of an offense.

21. Zay Flowers, Baltimore Ravens

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

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. Jaylen Waddle, Miami Dolphins

Jaylen Waddle has been phenomenal since taking over as Dolphins’ WR1 due to Tyreek Hill’s season-ending injury.

18. Emeka Egbuka, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Emeka Egbuka has looked like an absolute stud for the Bucs this season. The only reason why he’s not higher on this list is that we need to see it for a full year.

17. George Pickens, Dallas Cowboys

George Pickens is having a breakout season with the Cowboys, proving that he can be considered one of the best wideouts in the NFL.

16. Brian Thomas Jr, Jacksonville Jaguars

Here we have the biggest faller on this list. It’s been an incredibly disappointing season from Brian Thomas Jr.

15. Tee Higgins, Cincinnati Bengals

Tee Higgins is proving that he’s got WR1 talent now that Joe Flacco is under center.

14. Ladd McConkey, Los Angeles Chargers

Ladd McConkey got off to a slow start this season, but he’s rolling now, showing why he was so highly touted following his rookie season.

13. Garrett Wilson, New York Jets

The fact that Garrett Wilson has been able to put up respectable numbers despite atrocious quarterback play speaks volumes to his talent.

12. Davante Adams, Los Angeles Rams

Davante Adams has proven to still have something left in the tank, showing zero signs of slowing down.

11. 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.

NFL Wide Receiver Power Rankings 10-1

10. Rashee Rice, Kansas City Chiefs

Rashee Rice has hit the ground running since returning from suspension. Don’t be surprised if he’s higher on this list sooner rather than later.

9. Drake London, Atlanta Falcons

Drake London has the ability to be an absolute target hog. We haven’t seen his best work just yet.

8. 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.

7. Amon-Ra St. Brown, Detroit Lions

Amon-Ra St. Brown has developed into one of the most consistent wideouts in football. The Lions’ star deserves more respect.

6. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Seattle Seahawks

Jaxon Smith-Njigba is in the middle of a monster season, which is why he’s a huge riser in these ranks.

5. CeeDee Lamb, Dallas Cowboys

CeeDee Lamb is here due to his strong track record, but there are wideouts behind him that could move ahead soon.

4. Malik Nabers, New York Giants

Malik Nabers is at No. 4 despite a premature end to his season due to a torn ACL. That’s how good he is. Sky is the limit with Jaxson Dart next year.

3. Puka Nacua, Los Angeles Rams

Puka Nacua has been absolutely dominant this season. You can make a legit case for him as No. 1 on this list.

2. Justin Jefferson, Minnesota Vikings

Justin Jefferson is having a disappointing season, but he still belongs in the top 2 wide receivers due to his track record.

1. Ja’Marr Chase, Cincinnati Bengals

Ja’Marr Chase continues to dominate at wide receiver despite playing without Joe Burrow.
