Here are the details about the top 10 exciting wide receivers heading into the upcoming 2022/2023 NFL season.
The new NFL season is upon us. After a long offseason, football is finally coming back, and fans are excited about it. All the teams have used the offseason to their best effect, and have strengthened their roster to achieve their goal in this season.
Last season was a great season, as the playoffs were remarkably historic. We saw many upsets, and many players emerged as great players in the league following their impressive outing last time around.
Numerous wide receivers set the league on fire last season, and are expected to continue on their upward trajectory as well. Not many people saw some of those receivers having such a great season, which has made them earn a position in the elite WRs of the league.
Here we are going to talk about the top ten wide receivers in the NFL heading into the 2022/2023 season, based on their performance in recent history.
10. Hunter Renfrow – Las Vegas Raiders
Hunter Renfrow is arguably the most underrated wide receiver in the league. His numbers show that he is a prolific WR, but the lack of hype around him sometimes undermines him. He had a great career last season as he had 9 TDs, and he will elevate his game to the next level following the arrival of Davante Adams.
Hunter Renfrow has played 3 seasons for the Raiders. He has 208 catches for 2,299 yards and has scored 15 touchdowns, along with 59 punt returns for 606 yards.
9. Mike Evans – Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Mike Evans is the go-to guy for Tom Brady. He has been phenomenal for many years and is now getting the credit that he deserves. Evans will still be the WR1 for the Bucs in the upcoming season, and with Brown and Gronk gone, we can see an improvement in his numbers as well.
Mike Evans has played 8 seasons for the Buccaneers. He has 606 catches for 9,301 yards and has scored 76 touchdowns. He was selected to play in 3 Pro Bowls and has won 1 championship.
8. Keenan Allen – Los Angeles Chargers
Keenan Allen is one of the best route-running WRs in the league. He’ll be an important asset for the Chargers in the upcoming season, and with Justin Herbert getting better every year, we can see another great season from Allen.
Keenan Allen has played 9 seasons for the Chargers. He has 730 catches for 8,535 yards and has scored 49 touchdowns. He was selected to play in 3 Pro Bowls and has won 1 Comeback Player of the Year award.
7. Deebo Samuel – San Francisco 49ers
Deebo Samuel is slowly becoming into one of the most valuable players in the NFL. He is a great WR, but he also possesses the dual threat that not many WRs possess. His explosiveness while running with the ball makes him one of the best players in his position.
With his future now settled, a big season awaits for Deebo and the 49ers. Deebo Samuel has played 3 seasons for the 49ers. He has 167 catches for 2,598 yards and has scored 21 touchdowns.
6. Tyreek Hill – Miami Dolphins
Tyreek Hill is arguably the fastest player in the NFL. His ability to make explosives plays makes him one of the best in his position. The numbers also back him up, and ‘The Cheetah’ will be ready to shine once again in the NFL while playing for a new team.
Tyreek Hill has played 6 seasons for the Chiefs. He has 479 catches for 6,630 yards and has scored 67 touchdowns. He was selected to play in 4 Pro Bowls and has won 1 championship.
5. Stefon Diggs – Buffalo Bills
Stefon Diggs is arguably the nastiest wide receiver in the NFL. He can run routes like no other player, and that is what makes him so special. Playing alongside Josh Allen will help him continuously, and he’ll be a regular feature in this list.
Stefon Diggs has played 7 seasons for the Minnesota Vikings and the Buffalo Bills. He has 595 catches for 7,383 yards and has scored 48 touchdowns.
4. Ja’Marr Chase – Cincinnati Bengals
Ja’Marr Chase took the NFL by storm in his rookie season in the NFL. Many people criticized his decision of sitting out the final year of his college to focus on the draft, but Chase proved all of them wrong.
In his sophomore year, Chase is going to get even better, and that is going to be a scary sight for every defense in the league. Ja’Marr Chase has played 1 season for the Bengals. He has 81 catches for 1,455 yards and has scored 13 touchdowns. He has won the Offensive Rookie of the Year award.
3. Justin Jefferson – Minnesota Vikings
Like his former LSU teammate, Justin Jefferson also stormed the league in his rookie year in the NFL. Since then he has only gotten better, and with age on his side, Jefferson is expected to make a strong claim of becoming the best WR in the league by the end of this season.
Justin Jefferson has played 2 seasons for the Vikings. He has 196 catches for 3,016 yards and has scored 17 touchdowns.
2. Cooper Kupp – Los Angeles Rams
Cooper Kupp is coming off a historic season both on personal and team levels. He was huge for the Los Angeles Rams throughout the last season, and also became the Super Bowl MVP. He narrowly missed on the spot of best WR in the league, but it won’t be a surprise if we see Kupp as the best WR in the league by the end of this season.
Cooper Kupp has played 5 seasons for the Rams. He has 433 catches for 5,517 yards and has scored 40 touchdowns. He has won 1 Offensive Player of the Year award, 1 Super Bowl MVP award, and 1 championship.
1. Davante Adams – Las Vegas Raiders
Davante Adams was able to keep the spot of the best WR of the league after another stellar season. Even though he has continued to play at an elite level for many years, the upcoming season will be a challenge for him as he will no longer be playing with Aaron Rodgers.
Davante Adams has played 8 seasons for the Green Bay Packers. He has 669 catches for 8,121 yards and has scored 73 touchdowns. He was selected to play in 3 Pro Bowls.
