#1:Buccaneers

Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Emeka Egbuka, Cade Otton, Bucky Irving, Rachaad White

The Bucs are led by Mr. Consistent himself – Mike Evans. Everyone knows about the 1,000-yard seasons, the Hall of Fame trajectory, and the Super Bowl ring, but what’s really impressive is how he keeps doing it on the bad side of 30. Opposite him, Chris Godwin continues to be one of the league’s best WR2s – though on many other teams, he’d be the WR1. Before his injury last year, he was on pace for a career year and looked like one of the best wideouts in the game.

Behind Evans and Godwin, Tampa has quietly built one of the deepest receiving corps in the NFL. They spent a first-rounder on Ohio State’s Emeka Egbuka, a pick that raised eyebrows – but gives Baker Mayfield another weapon to work with. Add in Jalen McMillan, Sterling Shepard, and the explosive Tez Johnson, and this unit is as deep as they come. Out of the backfield, Bucky Irving and Rachaad White are both legitimate receiving threats, and while Cade Otton won’t blow anyone away, he’s a solid and steady option at tight end. Even with offensive coordinator Liam Coen leaving for Jacksonville, there’s enough talent here to keep this offense among the league’s best.

Prediction: Emeka Egbuka and Tez Johnson combine for 10+ touchdowns.

#2:Bengals

Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Andrei Iosivas, Mike Gesicki, Chase Brown

Ja’Marr Chase needs no introduction. He’s arguably the most electric player in football with the ball in his hands, and he and Justin Jefferson are the clear 1A and 1B at the position. The connection with Joe Burrow isn’t going anywhere.

There was some offseason drama around Tee Higgins, but the Bengals locked him up on a 4-year, $115M deal, solidifying one of the league’s top duos. Higgins and Chase form a combo that gives defenses headaches every week. While Andrei Iosivas isn’t a game-changer, he filled in well last year, and the offense didn’t skip a beat – putting up 27.8 points per game. Mike Gesicki had some big outings and could be a sneaky factor again this season, while running back Chase Brown emerged late last year as a reliable receiving option, grabbing 54 passes for 360 yards and 4 scores. He’s primed for a bigger role in year three.

Prediction: Chase Brown finishes with 500+ receiving yards.

#3:Vikings

Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, Jalen Nailor, TJ Hockenson, Aaron Jones

No surprise here – this group is headlined by one of the best wide receiver duos in football. Justin Jefferson has been the guy since entering the league, and Jordan Addison already has 19 touchdowns in just his first two seasons. These two are a nightmare to cover.

Jalen Nailor flashed potential last year with six touchdowns, and he could break out with so much defensive attention going elsewhere. TJ Hockenson’s had trouble staying healthy but remains a quality target when on the field. In the backfield, Aaron Jones continues to be a threat in the passing game and had arguably his best season last year. Yes, he’s 30, but he’s still got juice, putting up 5 games with 100+ yards from scrimmage last year. If rookie QB JJ McCarthy hits the ground running, this offense could be one of the most explosive in the league.

Prediction: Justin Jefferson wins the receiving Triple Crown – leading the league in catches, yards, and touchdowns.

#4:Eagles

A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Jahan Dotson, Dallas Goedert, Saquon Barkley

Fresh off a Super Bowl title, the Eagles bring back one of the most balanced and dangerous offenses in the league. A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith have turned into a perfect pairing. Brown brings physicality and big-play ability, while Smith is a masterful route-runner who can get open at will. His footwork and separation skills are elite. If Smith were on another team, he’d likely be putting up WR1 numbers – and he just might anyway this year.

Dallas Goedert may not be elite, but he’s consistent and was huge in the postseason. Then there’s Saquon Barkley. His reception numbers dipped last year, but make no mistake – he’s still a home-run hitter every time he catches the ball. Adding a healthy Jahan Dotson into the mix only raises the ceiling here.

Prediction: DeVonta Smith outpaces A.J. Brown in both receptions and receiving yards.

#5:Rams

Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, Tutu Atwell, Jordan Whittington, Kyren Williams

This group is top-heavy – but the top is really good. Puka Nacua has already proven he belongs in the elite tier of NFL wide receivers. Since his historic rookie campaign, he’s only improved, hauling in 184 passes over his first two seasons while posting elite efficiency metrics, pacing the league in yards-per-route-run.

Now he’s paired with Davante Adams. Despite a rocky year in Vegas and whispers that he’s washed, Adams still has plenty left in the tank. With a full offseason to build chemistry with Matthew Stafford, expect a bounce-back year from him. After those two, it gets thinner – Tutu Atwell has shown flashes and can hold down the WR3 role, putting up 13.4 yards/reception last year. Jordan Whittington is a bit of a wild card and while Kyren Williams won’t light it up as a pass-catcher, he is steady enough when called upon.

Prediction: Puka Nacua finishes with 120+ receptions, 1,600+ yards, and 8+ touchdowns.
