Best wide receivers in the NFC East

By: Jake Rajala

The NFC East showcases a few Top-10 WRs in the NFL. There are explosive, strong, and impressive contested catch WRs in the NFC East division. With that said, I’m simply going to untwine the best eight WRs in the NFC East.

8. Wan’Dale Robinson

Wan’Dale Robinson isn’t the most gifted wideout, but he’s versatile. He hauled in 699 receiving yards in a dreadful Giants offense last season. He was the second round pick for the GMEN in 2022. He wasn’t a factor until last season. He should be more lethal with a highly talented rookie QB in Jaxson Dart moving forward.

7. Devonta Smith

Devonta Smith once took a lot of heat for his size. Well, he has shown his critics that he’s capable of being lethal and staying healthy at the same time. He has 4,011 yards in four seasons. PFF handed Smith a grade of 82.7 last season, which was 14th among all WRs.

6. George Pickens

Welcome to the NFC East, George Pickens! Pickens has shown to dazzle, even with little to no talent at the QB spot. In 2023, he hauled in 1,140 yards yards and averaged a league-high 18.1 YPC. I would like to see Pickens get more touchdowns, as he only has 12 in three years. PFF gave Pickens a score of 76.9 for his latest season.

5. Scary Terry

Terry McLaurin is one of the most well-rounded WRs in the league, even if he’s the fifth best wideout in his division. Terry had 13 touchdowns last season, which was second among wideouts. McLaurin had a 79.2 PFF grade for 2024, which is 20th among WRs.

4. Deebo Samuel

Deebo Samuel didn’t have his best season in 2024, but he’s still quite explosive and able to shine at numerous spots. Samuel registered 806 total yards in 15 games last season. I believe he is somewhere between his 2024 season and his 2021 season (where he unleashed 1,405 yards and 18.2 YPC).

3. Malik Nabers

Malik Nabers is flat out special. I believe he will be a Top-5 WR this upcoming season. He had an 86.7 PFF grade last season. He hauled in 1,204 yards, which was seventh among WRs. Nabers will take the next step alongside Dart.

2. A.J. Brown

The reigning Super Bowl Champion, A.J. Brown, always brings his A game. He was named second-team All-Pro last season, despite missing four games! Brown recorded 1,496 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2022. He then hauled in 1,456 yards and seven touchdowns in 2023.

1. Cedee Lamb

There is no denying the potential of Ceedee Lamb. Even if you give him a back-up QB, Lamb will find a way to be special. After notching 135 catches for 1,749 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2023, he reeled in 1,194 yards and six TDs in 15 games a season ago.
