Putting together a good receiver's room is key to success in the modern NFL. The impact of the aerial game is undeniable at the highest levels of football. One would have to go back to the 2017 Philadelphia Eagles to find the last Super Bowl winner to rank outside the top eight in passing offense, and even that squad relied on a herculean Nick Foles passing performance (373 yards, three touchdowns) to best the New England Patriots for the Lombardi Trophy.
Recent draft results further prove how much emphasis is being placed on providing quarterbacks with high-end weapons. A record-tying seven wideouts came off the board in the first round of the 2024 draft—and two more were taken at the very top of Round 2—while at least four wideouts have been selected on Day 1 in each of the last five classes. It should come as little surprise that the clubs with the top receiving trios are all realistic contenders to win the Super Bowl in 2024.
These potent units overwhelm opposing defenses with a litany of pass-catching options who can beat their man on every play. With that in mind, we've ranked the NFL's best receiving corps based on previous production and 2024 projections. The Philadelphia Eagles possess one of the NFL's best one-two combinations at wide receivern.
