Top 10 Best NFL Wide Receivers of the 2018-2019 Season

It is safe to say that there are more starting wide receivers in the NFL than there are primary tailbacks nowadays. Therefore, there should be plenty of players to look out for during this season.
The Top Ten
DeAndre Hopkins DeAndre Rashaun Hopkins, also known as "Nuk," is an American football wide receiver for the Arizona Cardinals of the National Football League. Hopkins was drafted 27th overall to the Houston Texans in 2013.

To me, the best receiver in football (that isn't A.B.) is DeAndre Hopkins. Even when Watson was out, he still caught the football. For a guy who had a ton of pressure replacing Andre Johnson, he has lived up to the hype of a late first-round pick.

The dude has been thrown the football by eight different starting quarterbacks, and only one of them was so bad he couldn't handle it - Brock Osweiler. Aside from having fewer yards because of that terrible deal, any average quarterback you plug in will still try to get the ball to him, and to me, that is very impressive.

Now, he has what looks to be a top-15, if not top-10, young captain in Deshaun Watson, who could be healthy all year. Perhaps Hopkins is the guy to watch this year and the one to have on any team.

Odell Beckham Jr. Odell Beckham Jr. is a NFL wide receiver, playing for the Los Angeles Rams. He is most-known for making an incredible one-handed catch against the Dallas Cowboys. Beckham was drafted 12th overall to the New York Giants.

Odell could have a monster season, especially since he got hurt and wasn't as productive last year. But like Golden Tate, he's in a contract year. If he goes out there like the guy he was in his first two seasons, he'll remind everyone why he's a top-5 receiver, even with a declining quarterback throwing him the football.

Antonio Brown Antonio Brown is a former NFL wide receiver and for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the NFC South Division. He was drafted in the 6th round of the 2010 draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers, and has also been on the Oakland Raiders and New England Patriots. He is a 7x pro bowler, and regarded as a skilled player... read more

Yeah, A.B. is amazing, as he has been the past few seasons. Now I'm very worried about what lies ahead for him and what the Madden curse may bring. Heck of a player, but nursing a quad strain has to be a big concern moving forward, especially since he got hurt last season. If he gets more messed up than before, how long until we hear he's out for the season?

Michael Thomas

He's kind of underrated. Not being ranked high by the players definitely says a lot. Thomas fits into the Drew Brees passing game, making him super effective. He deserves a push for the top 5. The combination of this duo could be huge this season.

Michael Thomas is my favorite player, and he's also on my favorite team...

He doesn't just catch the ball, but goes to the ball and makes an effort.

Julio Jones Quintorris Lopez "Julio" Jones is a current wide receiver who plays for the Atlanta Falcons of the National Football League. Jones was selected sixth overall in 2011 to the Atlanta Falcons, and since made it to one Super Bowl.

He's an effective wide receiver who keeps drives alive, but what was surprising last season was having only 3 touchdowns. How is that possible? Jones is a great player, but my god, give that man some TDs!

T.Y. Hilton Eugene Marquis commonly known in the NFL as ''T.Y Hilton'' Is an American wide receiver for the Indianapolis Colts. Hilton was drafted in the 3rd round ninety two overall to the Colts in 2012.

Andrew Luck is back, and you know what that means - the value for Jack Doyle and T.Y. Hilton will be high this year. Don't be shocked if Hilton is taken as a 4th or 5th receiver based on who's at quarterback. Hilton is a very solid player who got no love from the players, but he may end up proving himself this season just to remind them who he is on the field.

Davante Adams Davante Lavell Adams is an American football wide receiver for the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League.

Adams, to me, went from having potential promise to a so-so second year where he dropped the ball too many times. Suddenly, he's their top guy after getting rid of Jordy Nelson - stunning, I know. He'll get a ton of targets, but there is one bigger weapon Rodgers will rely on more this season, and that could be his big tight-end upgrade.

A.J. Green Adriel Jeremiah Green also known by many being called A.J Green to shorten his first name. He was drafted 4th overall in 2011 draft by the Cincinnati Bengals.

A solid #1 wide receiver who can put a team back into the game. If he gets too much separation, that's the last thing you want to do against #18.

Adam Thielen

Absolutely. I prefer him over Diggs, despite the fact Diggs gives QBs a better rating. Watching Thielen reminds me of the old Vikings when they had Randy Moss in the mix.

Just watched him in the 2019 Pro Bowl precision passing event. If you don't think he's the best, I don't know who is.

No matter who is covering him, he will always find a way to get open.

Keenan Allen Keenan Alexander Allen is an American football wide receiver for the Los Angeles Chargers of the National Football League.

I see Allen having a repeat performance of last season. When healthy, he's a proven #1 wide receiver, but the guys around him are no slouches either. There's a good chance he could end up with the most touchdowns when it's all said and done.

The Newcomers

? Demarcus Robinson
? Phillip Dorsett

Phillip Dorsett is a Patriots player. He is one of the fastest players, and he pretty much never drops a pass!

The Contenders
Tyreek Hill

Over Watkins? Yeah, no question. He's one of the fastest guys in the league, and if Mahomes delivers on that strong arm, Hill could be his favorite target by the end of the season.

He should be ranked higher. Come on, he's the fastest player in the NFL.

He is one of the fastest players in the NFL, and he can get wide open really quickly.

JuJu Smith-Schuster
Julian Edelman Julian Francis Edelman is an American football wide receiver for the New England Patriots of the National Football League.

Edelman was drafted in the seventh round two hundred and thirty two overall to the New England Patriots.

Edelman played quarterback in college, but in the NFL he changed... read more

He'll be out the first few weeks, but he could be huge for Tom Brady this season - out for blood and the glory of the Patriot way.

Golden Tate Golden Tate III is an American football wide receiver and punt returner for the New York Giants of the National Football League.

Starting off with a homer selection - while I wasn't originally a fan of Golden Tate when he got to Detroit, his career has been way better as a Lion than it ever was with Seattle, I'll tell you that right now. In a big contract situation, let's see what happens with Tate this season.

Amari Cooper Amari Cooper is an American football wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League. Cooper was drafted 4th overall to the Oakland Raiders in 2015.

Did you know that Cole Beasley left the Cowboys for the Bills because Amari Cooper was getting all the attention? But I still support Amari Cooper.

Maybe Jordy Nelson, but Jon Gruden will literally do anything in his power to make sure Amari Cooper gets his opportunities the most.

Mike Evans Michael Lynn Evans is an American football wide receiver for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the National Football League. Evans was drafted 7th overall to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2014.

Evans might be okay with Fitzpatrick starting out. Sure, it's a small quarterback change, but I'd still be okay with my freak of nature catching the ball, most likely wide open as usual.

He should be 5th, right ahead of T.Y. Hilton.

Tyler Lockett

So underrated. He has toe drag swag.

Jarvis Landry Jarvis Charles Landry is an American football wide receiver for the Cleveland Browns of the National Football League. Landry was drafted in the 2nd round sixty third overall to the Miami Dolphins in 2014.

The man has all the WR skills: block, catch, run after the catch, route running, leadership. He plays through injuries.

Larry Fitzgerald Larry Darnell Fitzgerald Jr. is an American football wide receiver for the Arizona Cardinals of the National Football League. Fitzgerald was drafted 3rd overall to the Arizona Cardinals in 2004, he is considered to be one of the best players of his position to never win a Super Bowl.

Usually a consistently great player, but I think it's time to just head to Canton already, Larry. It's over. Thinking about getting a Super Bowl - the closest you got to winning one was when Kurt Warner was your quarterback ages ago. With Bradford/Rosen at quarterback, that may cause a headache if you believe he'll even come close to, if lucky, 1,000 yards.

Michael Gallup

Allen Hurns... meh. Terrance Williams had an outside shot, but he's average at best - a #3 receiver to me. That leaves Gallup, who might be a Miles Austin type of guy they need. I can't even name the rest of the receivers. If I gambled late in the draft, it would probably be on this guy, near the end if nothing better is available.

Nelson Agholor Nelson Agholor is an American football wide receiver for the New England Patriots of the National Football League.

With Alshon Jeffery out for half the year and Mike Wallace just being okay, a guy I didn't originally like has suddenly become a solid pick for Carson Wentz to work with. Agholor could be all over the place this season - you might not see him coming.

Brandin Cooks Brandin Cooks is an American football wide receiver and return specialist for the Houston Texans of the National Football League.
Emmanuel Sanders Emmanuel Niamiah Sanders is an American football wide receiver for the New Orleans Saints of the National Football League.

Strangely, I'll agree with this in a way. Sanders is probably going to play in a contract year, and with a new-looking offense, what will happen to Emmanuel when the season is done? I don't believe he's a top 15 receiver, though.

Devin Funchess

This player is the core of the receiving lineup. He's been there for a while and knows Cam Newton's routes and style.

Sammy Watkins Sammy Watkins is an American football wide receiver for the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League. Watkins was drafted 4th overall to the Buffalo Bills. His known for having injury prone problems on multiple occasions in Buffalo since coming into the league in 2014.
