Top-10 Wide Receivers in the NFL

Is there a more iconic photo from the 2020 season? D-Hop is 1 of 2 receivers to be in the top-10 in receiving yards each of the last 2 seasons (DJ Moore is the other). He can high point the ball, make big plays after the catch, and beat double teams routinely. Other fan bases will be mad, and that’s fine. But I think it’s very difficult to argue anyone other than Hopkins as the best in the league.

Pete Sheppard said on air Monday that the Buccaneers are the most talented offense Tom Brady has ever played in. This might be true, but when he said the Bucs have 2 Randy Moss's on their team it caused a bit of a debate. We were trying to figure out where Mike Evans fits in current wide receiver rankings. Here is the definitive list of the top-10 wide receivers in the NFL.
