ESPN ranks the 10 best WRs

[Couch-Potato]

1) Julio Jones
2) Michael Thomas
3) D Hopkins
4) OBJ

5) Tyreek Hill, Kansas City Chiefs
Age: 26 | Highest ranking: 3 | Lowest ranking: 11

Hill broke a close three-man race for the fifth spot because he wrecks a game plan like no one else. Since 2017, Hill has 21 receiving touchdowns reaching 20 mph, four more than any other player.

Best of NFL Nation

• Inside the process of renaming the Redskins
• Broncos' Jeudy a summer blockbuster
• Bucs' offense looks better, but faces hurdles
• Derek Carr has few excuses with new WRs
• Will Dak be with Cowboys for long haul?

The 4.2 40 speed helps, but that's not the only reason he breaks free.

"There are a lot of fast guys, but no one can take a shallow cross 80 yards like Tyreek," one NFL coordinator said. "He's got that football awareness to know where space is."

Many criticize Hill for choppy route running, pointing out that Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid maximize his ability. But Hill does No. 1 receiver things each week. He caught 77% of his third-down targets last year (20-of-26), third best among receivers with at least 15 targets on that down. His 42 receptions of 20-plus air yards since 2017 is an NFL high.

"Vision is his No. 1 thing -- where to go, get there, angles, stop and go -- he just toys with guys," a different NFL coordinator said.

6) Mike Evans
7) Devante Adams
8) Keenan Allen
9) Chri Godwin
10) Amari Cooper

Honorable Mentions: Diggs, Thielen, Galladay, Green, Sutton

Jackasses don’t watch games.

OBJ and Dak are two of the most overrated players in the game

And i'm not sure that Amari Cooper and Devante Adams belong on that list over Diggs and Thielen.

And yes, i would still take Tyreek over Hopkins if i were building a team.

Amari "I drop balls at the worst time and don't show up against good teams or on the road" Cooper has top 10 skills, but not top 10 heart.

T.Y Hilton not getting at least honorable mention is laughable. He’s better than Diggs, Golladay, and Sutton.

I will not because I can not.

[Wisconsin_Chief]

For this offense and what we need from our WRs there is nobody I'd take over Hill.

End of discussion.

My "hatred" for TY from that Colts playoff loss makes me want to disagree with you, but you're not wrong.

There's just too much Andy can do with Tyreek in this offense at too many positions. The fact that Hill KNOWS all the positions in this offense is what makes him a nightmare for defenses. Hell, in the Texans playoff game Tyreek was at ****ing H-Back helping block JJ Watt at one point, haha (I think it was the toe drag touchdown to Kelce play).

Michael Thomas way too low. Also Godwin criminally underrated

Judging wide receivers depends so much on point of view. If you ask from the offensive point of view, QBs in general like bigger targets, that run crisp, disciplined routes with a wide catch radius. This is the traditional way most people rank WRs.

From defensive point of view, DBs fear speed. They say it is easier to make adjustments for height, but game changing speed is what strikes fear. That's why the Chiefs strike fear: play off, they're wide open underneath, play tight, and it may be a TD.

I wouldn't take any of them over Reek

Do you realize that Hopkins would be open on every single play if he was in this offense

[The Franchise]

Jones over Thomas? Hill at 4?

Stay stupid, ESPN.
