Top 10 NFL receivers through week 1

Through week one of the NFL there have been many amazing comeback victories and amazing athletic performances; today we are ranking the top 10 NFL receivers through week one of this young NFL season.

  1. Zay Flowers—In week 1, Flowers caught 7 passes for 143 yards and scored a touchdown, showing he can make big plays even when the game is close. He looked incredible, proving he’s one of the Ravens’ go-to receivers going through the season.
  2. Puka Nacua—Puka Nacua had a huge game in week 1, hauling in 10 directions for 130 yards against the Texans, and looks like a threat in the Rams’ passing attack. Although he didn’t score, he made a lot of great catches that led his team to the win.
  3. Jaxson Smith-Njigba—He caught 9 passes for 124 yards in week 1 for the Seahawks, showing he is the clear number one receiver for his team. Jaxson did not score a touchdown, but he had hauled in most of the receiving yards and looked very dangerous for future teams to look out for.
  4. Keon Coleman—Against the Ravens, Keon Coleman caught 8 passes for 112 yards and a touchdown for the Bills. He looked way more confident this game compared to last season; stepping into a bigger role for his team this year is a must for him.
  5. CeeDee Lamb—Lamb had 7 catches for 110 yards in the opener against the Dallas Cowboys, making tough catches downfield. He ended up not scoring and dropped several passes that could have changed the outcome of the game but still had an amazing performance.
  6. Ricky Pearsall—In the first game that he has been a lead receiver, Pearsall caught 4 passes for 108 yards for the 49ers. He looked very explosive and ready to finally step up and make some big plays.
  7. Kayshon Boutee—He caught 6 passes for 103 yards in week 1, and even though his team, the Patriots, ended up losing to the Raiders, he still showed how he can stretch the field with some deep routes. Boutee didn’t score a touchdown, but his average yards per catch was 17.2, which is super promising; he is one of their most dangerous downfield threats.
  8. Hollywood Brown- Hollywood Brown hauled in 10 catches for 99 yards in week 1; he didn’t score but was very active in his game with Kansas City. He showed off good hands and gives a solid target when the team is in tight spots.
  9. Jakobi Myers—Jakobi Myers caught 8 of 10 targets for 97 yards in week 1 of the season for the Raiders, leading his team in both categories. He ended up not getting a touchdown but was reliable all game, keeping the offense moving.
  10. Garett Wilson—Although the Jets ultimately lost in week 1, Garett Wilson had a strong showing; he caught 7 of his 9 targets for a total of 95 yards and scored a touchdown. He and Justin Fields are showing that connection even this early in the season, which is a good sign for the Jets.
