Top Five Wide Receivers
Pos.
Name
Info
1
T.J. Houshmandzadeh
The top wide receiver on the market. More of a possession receiver than a playmaker. Only has size career catches of 40 or more yards. Houshmandzadeh will catch a ton of passes and move the chains.
2
Laveranues Coles
Coles is a steady, productive receiver. Has five or more touchdown catches in all but two seasons. No longer has top speed, but he is a skilled veteran.
3
Nate Washington
Young player on the rise. Had a career high 40 catches this year. Excellent downfield threat.
4
Devery Henderson
Averages more than 20 yards per catch for his career. Career high in receptions is only 32, though. Not a workhorse receiver, but he is a big-play specialist.
5
Brandon Jones
Young player with size and some ability. Had a career-best 41 catches this year. Not the big name like Marvin Harrison, Joey Galloway, or Amani Toomer, but Jones is an ascending player.
