NFL WR Power Rankings: Every Team's Top Wide Receiver for Week 6

With Week 5 in the books, let’s rank each team’s top wide receiver ahead of Week 6. While some teams have several high-end pas catchers, in this ranking, we only include one representative from each team. Where did we go wrong? Who is too high or too low? Let us know in the comments!

Note – This ranking is based on production from this season only.

No. 32 - Jerry Jeudy, CLE

With Cedric Tillman (hamstring) hitting the IR, Jerry Jeudy served as the clear WR1 during their Week 5 loss to the Vikings. While rookie Isaiah Bond did begin to see his role increase, Jeudy still saw five targets. However, he caught only two for a mere 15 yards. Given his underwhelming start, Jeudy remains at the bottom of this list.

No. 31 - Kendrick Bourne, SF

With Ricky Pearsall and Jauan Jennings sidelined, Kendrick Bourne enjoyed a career day on Thursday night. During their impressive upset victory over the Los Angeles Rams, Bourne led the passing attack, catching 10 of his 11 targets for a hefty 142 yards. While his production will decline once Pearsall and Jennings return, he proved himself more than capable of leading the WR room in the short term.

No. 30 - Calvin Ridley, TEN

After ceding work to rookie Elic Ayomanor in each of the past two weeks, Ridley was finally able to return to the WR1 status. During their victory over the Cardinals, Ridley led the offense, catching five of his 10 targets for a season-high 131 yards. Expect Ridley to continue to bounce back in the coming games.

No. 29 - Wan'Dale Robinson, NY

Wan’Dale Robinson has risen to the top spot on the depth chart with Malik Nabers (knee) done for the season. While Darius Slayton was able to carve out a larger role in Week 4, Robinson was able to lead the team in targets (seven) and receptions in five of them for 30 yards. While Slayton will have his spike weeks, Robinson should lead the team in receptions the rest of the way.

No. 28 - Khalil Shakir, BUF

While Keon Coleman appeared to be the early-season WR1 in Buffalo, Kahlil Shakir has been able to reclaim that role over the last three games. Since Week 3, Shakir has caught 15 of his 18 targets for 159 yards and two touchdowns. During this same three-game stretch, Coleman has caught only 10 passes for 88 yards.

No. 27 - Brian Thomas Jr., JAC

After a slow start, the former rookie star appears to be turning the corner. During their impressive upset victory over the Chiefs, Thomas led the way, posting a team-high 80 yards on four receptions. While he has still only caught 16 of his 38 targets, Monday’s performance was a significant step in the right direction.

No. 26 - Jakboi Meyers, LV

After an impressive start to the season, Jakobi Meyers has seen his stock decline over the past two games. In Week 4, Meyers tallied only 30 yards on four catches. Then in Week 5, Meyers caught just four passes once again, this time for 32 yards. However, in Weeks 1 through 3, Meyers was very productive, tallying 76.0 yards per game on 17 total catches.

No. 25 - Romeo Doubs - GB

The Packers were off in Week 5, which leaves Romeo Doubs as the clear WR1 entering Week 6. While Christian Watson (knee) is making a return, Doubs should remain the top option for Jordan Love. In Week 4, Doubs led the way in their tie against the Cowboys when he found the back of the end zone three times.

No. 24 - A.J. Brown, PHI

DeVonta Smith made a strong case to represent the Eagles on this list as he brought in over 100 yards in their loss to the Broncos on Sunday. However, since we’ve given Brown’s pedigree with Jalen Hurts, he will hold this spot for another week. On Sunday, Brown had another quiet showing, catching only five passes for 43 yards. His best showing came in Week 3 when he caught six passes for 109 yards and a score.

No. 23 - Xavier Worthy, KC

While his performance wasn’t as impressive as it was in Week 4, Worthy remained the go-to option for Patrick Mahomes on Monday evening. During their loss to the Jaguars, the second-year wideout tallied 51 yards from scrimmage on six catches and one rushing attempt. With Rashee Rice’s return looming, Worthy could see his target share slightly decrease over the next few weeks. Rice is expected to take his spot on the list when he returns.

No. 22 - Marvin Harrison Jr. - ARI

Marvin Harrison has had an inconsistent start to the season, but he appears to be finding his footing. After a six-catch 66-yard performance in Week 4, Harrison posted another strong showing in Week 5, catching four of his five targets for 98 yards. Is the former college superstar finally turning the corner?

No. 21 - Jaylen Waddle, MIA

Jaylen Waddle has not been given many opportunities outside of his rookie season to shine as a true WR1, as he has lined up alongside Tyreek Hill. However, with Hill shut down for the season, Waddle is poised to enjoy a career season, potentially. He wasted little time in Week 5 to make an impact as he brought in six of his nine targets for 110 yards and a touchdown.

No. 20 - DK Metcalf, PIT

The Steelers were off this week, but Metcalf will enter a Week 6 divisional tilt against the Browns flying high after a breakout showing in Week 4. During their victory over the Vikings in Dublin, Metcalf led the way, catching five passes for 126 yards and a touchdown. Through four games in Pittsburgh, Metcalf has already punched in three touchdowns.

No. 19 - Stefon Diggs, NE

After a slow start to the season, Stefon Diggs has fully claimed the lead role in this passing attack. During their upset victory over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night, Diggs enjoyed a monstrous showing, catching 10 passes for 146 yards. In each of the past two games, Diggs has seen at least seven targets and tallied at least 100 yards.

No. 18 - Chris Olave, NO

The Saints picked up their first victory of the season on Sunday. While No. 2 WR, Rashid Shaheed, stole the show in this game, Oalve still enjoyed a productive outing, catching seven of his 11 targets for 59 yards. Throughout five games, Olave has been the focal point of this passing offense, catching 33 of his 53 targets for 244 yards and a score.

No. 17 - Michael Pittman Jr., IND

Michael Pittman Jr. continued his strong bounce-back season in Week 5 when the Colts defeated the Las Vegas Raiders. In this contest, the top wideout caught his fourth touchdown of the season and brought in a total of five passes for 39 yards. After finding the end zone just three times last season, Pittman has quickly returned to form in 2025 and is nearing the top half of this list.

No. 16 - Deebo Samuel Sr., WSH

While Deebo Samuel Sr. was initially slated to be the No. 1 in this offense, with Terry McLaurin sidelined, Samuel has operated as the clear leader in this offense. In their Week 5 victory, Samuel enjoyed another dominant showing, as he tallied a season-high 96 yards and his fourth TD of the campaign.

No. 15 - Courtland Sutton, DEN

Removing his one-catch effort in Week 2, Courtland Sutton would likely be viewed as a top-10 WR in the sport. Outside of Week 2, Sutton has averaged an impressive 89.8 yards per game with 6.3 receptions per game. During this four-game stretch, the top wideout in Denver has found the back of the end zone three times. He should continue to climb this list as the season progresses.

No. 14 - Tetaiora McMillan, CAR

Despite not finding the back of the ned once, the first-round rookie has been very impressive in Carolina. In their victory over the Dolphins, McMillan enjoyed another solid showing, catching six passes for 73 yards. Through five games, McMillan has tallied at least 60 yards in all but one and has seen 8.6 targets per game. Expect positive regression to come in his TD total.

No. 13 - Drake London, ATL

The Atlanta Falcons did not play in Week 5, but London carries some serious momentum into Week 6. London enjoyed a much-needed breakout game during the victory over the Commanders in Week 4. In this contest, London caught eight passes for a season-high 110 yards and a score. After a slow start, London appears to have found his connection with young QB Michael Penix Jr.

No. 12 - Nico Collins, HOU

Nico Collins was not asked to do much. The Texans dominated the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. However, when called on, Collins united to produce as an elite WR in the sport, catching four of his five targets for 52 yards and his third touchdown of the campaign. Since Week 2, Collins is averaging a strong 71.8 yards per game.

No. 11 - Zay Flowers, BAL

Despite playing with Cooper Rush, Zay Flowers continued to find success in the Blaitmore offense. In their loss to the Texans, Flowers was the one bright spot on offense, as he caught all five of his targets for 72 yards. He has eclipsed the 70-yard mark in all but one contest and has caught at least seven passes in three games. The Blaitmore offense is beginning to run through him, and not Derrick Henry.

No. 10 - George Pickens, DAL

George Pickens has continued to shine in the lead role with CeeDee Lamb (ankle) on the shelf. During their victory over the New York Jets on Sunday, Pickens found the back of the end zone for the fourth straight game and added 57 yards on two catches. Through five games in Dallas, Pickens has scored five touchdowns and tacked on 357 yards.

No. 9 - Quentin Johnston, LAC

Despite being outplayed by Ladd McConkey in Week 5, Quentin Johnston will still represent the Chargers on this list. During their loss to the Commanders, Johnston was held in check, catching just four passes for 40 yards. However, his performance in Weeks 1 through 4 will keep him high on this list as he tallied an impressive 337 yards and four scores on just 22 catches.

No. 8 - Justin Jefferson, MIN

Following a disappointing opening three weeks, some began to doubt Jefferson’s ability to find success with poor QB play. However, in each of the past two games, Jefferson has been able to flip the script with Carson Wentz under center and is slowly climbing this list. In Week 4, Jefferson tallied 126 yards on 10 catches. In Week 5, he followed this with another 100+ yard showing and caught seven of his 11 targets.

No. 7 - Ja'Marr Chase, CIN

Ja’Marr Chase enjoyed a massive bounce-back showing in their loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 5. After catching just 10 passes in the previous two games, the reigning Triple Crown winner broke out of the slump, tallying 110 yards and two scores on just six catches. Chase will look to round into 2024 form with Joe Flacco now under center.

No. 6- Rome Odunze, CHI

Rome Odunze and the Bears were off in Week 5, but the second-year wideout still sits at the top of this list. Through four games, Odunze has put his disappointing rookie season way behind him as he has scored five touchdowns and added 296 yards on just 20 receptions. Odunze has emerged as the top option in the offense and is playing a key role in Caleb Williams’s development.

No. 5 - Garrett Wilson, NY

Even though the Jets are 0-5, Garrett Wilson has been one of the most dominant WRs throughout the opening month. Through five games, Wilson is on pace to enjoy a career season as he has caught 33 passes for 382 yards and four scores. Removing his modest showing in Week 2, Wilson has scored in each game and tallied over 80 yards in three of them. He is a franchise cornerstone in New York.

No. 4 - Jaxon Smith-Njigba, SEA

Smith-Njigba continued his breakout campaign in Week 5 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. During this contest, Smith-Njigba eclipsed 100 yards for the third time this season and punched in his second touchdown. Operating as Sam Darnold’s top target, Smith-Njigba has caught 34 of his high 42 targets.

No. 3 - Emeka Egbuka. TB

Emeka Egbuka continues to impress. After a dominant opening four-game stretch to his career, Egbuka continued to dominate in Week when he tallied a season-high 163 yards and a score in seven catches. This was his second-sight game, tallying over 1200 yards. Through five games, the Ohio State product has found the back of the end zone five times. He is a budding superstar.

No. 2 - Amon-Ra St. Brown, DET

Amon-Ra St. Brown has continued to dominate and has put his quiet showing in Week 1 behind him. In Week 5, St. Brown hit the century mark for the second time in a single game and caught eight passes. From Week 2 on, St. Brown has averaged a stellar 90.5 yards per game and tallied six total touchdowns.

No. 1 - Puka Nacua, LAR

Sitting at the top spot of this list, once again, is Puka Nacua of the Los Angeles Rams. Nacua has yet to slow down and is on pace to enjoy a record-breaking season in Los Angeles. In their overtime loss to the 49ers, Nacua caught at least 10 passes for the fourth time this season and tallied 85 yards with his second touchdown. Through five games, he has caught 52 of his 62 targets for 588 yards.
