NFL Receiving Leaders for 2019

The NFL is a prestigious league. Most athletes begin their careers in their early twenties, and the average age of the top receivers is around twenty-three. Only three players have passed the one-thousand yard mark by age thirty-six. Jerry Rice was one of those few, at the age of twenty-two. Despite injury, poor quarterback play, and body breakdown, Rice still holds three NFL receiving records.

A. Tittle would rank 40th on this list if he were a current player. He passed for 33,070 yards over his professional career, but most of those yards came in the All-America Football Conference. After 2021, the NFL will no longer recognize statistics from the AAFC. Among other achievements, Tittle has surpassed seven hundred yards in a single season. But he’s also one of the most underrated players on this list.

Other notable wide receivers on this list include DeSean Jackson (Saints), Stephon Gilmore, and Laviska Shenault. Shenault is a second-round pick and has had a strong rookie year. In fact, she had the fifth-lowest average depth of target among all NFL receivers, at 6.7 yards. Johnson’s 6-foot-6 frame and 73.4 overall grade make him a top candidate for the top spot.

Aside from DeAndre Hopkins, the Saints’ top wide receivers are Tyreek Hill, Derrick Henry, and Michael Thomas. In the 2019 class, Kamara and Butker are the studs. The Saints’ wideouts have the best receiving yards, so the Chiefs should keep this trio on the top of the league’s list. They are the future of the sport, and you can’t afford to miss them.

The Cardinals’ wideouts have a strong showing this year. They are one of the elite forces in the NFL, and are transforming the passing attack of the Cardinals. As of last week, Kamara had more than 3,000 rushing yards, but was 63 yards short of reaching that mark. With that many yards, he will likely reach his 3,000-yard mark. And he’ll continue to be a top-five wideout in the NFL in 2021.

In the 2019 NFL receiving yards rankings, Tennessee’s wideouts are cashing in big. Their catches are among the league’s most impressive, and their career-high catch percentage is making them one of the league’s top performers. The Saints have a wide receiver on their top five list each week. Besides securing the top position in the receiving yards, they’re cashing in big.

There have been a number of dynamic wideouts in the NFL. The top 10 receiving leaders are only ten, and two of them are in the upper echelon. Reggie Wayne was a standout in the NFL for his entire career, making over 1,070 receptions and eighty touchdowns. He was only the second active wideout to reach 20,000 yards during his entire career, and he was the only one to surpass Jerry Rice during his entire career.
