Arizona Cardinals: Marvin Harrison Jr.
The No.4 overall pick in last year’s NFL Draft entered his rookie campaign with high expectations. While he flashed his high potential at times, Harrison struggled to produce consistently. He only eclipsed 90 receiving yards in three games and tallied less than 50 in 10 contests. However, he tallied eight touchdowns and should be set up well for a sophomore breakout.
Grade: C
Atlanta Falcons: Drake London

Flowers caught just one pass in Week 17 before suffering a season-ending knee injury.

Grade: B+
Buffalo Bills: Khalil Shakir
Following the departure of Stefon Diggs, Khalil Shakir was tasked to operate as the top wideout in the Buffalo offense. Shakir was able to tally a career-high 821 yards with four touchdowns on 76 receptions. While he was the No.1 option, Josh Allen spread the ball throughout the season and never gave Shakir many targets. He only surpassed more than 70 yards in four games and only saw double-digit targets twice.
Grade: B-
Carolina Panthers: Adam Thielen
Adam Thielen missed seven games due to a hamstring injury, which limited his production.

He found the back of the end zone five times in 10 games.

His 98 receptions set a new career high. Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams leaned on Moore in the passing attack as he saw double-digit targets in five games but only eclipsed 75 yards in five contests. He will look to find more consistency under a Ben Johnson-led offense in 2025.

Grade: A-
Cleveland Browns: Jerry Jeudy
Jerry Jeudy was on pace to have one of the worst seasons of his career after the first seven weeks, where he tallied just 38 receiving yards per game. However, once Jameis Winston took over starting duties under center, Jeudy was one of the top receivers in the back half of the season. During the final 10 contests, Jeudy averaged a strong 96.3 yards per game with three scores. His total 1,229 yards were the sixth-most among pass-catchers.
Grade: B+
