Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve taken a look at combined dynasty rookie rankings for quarterbacks and running backs, and this week the series continues with wide receivers. While this class lacks the star power of the 2024 class, overall the talent is on par with the talent from the 2024 class.

As with the previous rankings, it's important to note that the 2024 class is being ranked as prospects before they were drafted and their current standing with what we’ve seen from them as rookies in the NFL is not being taken into account. This provides a good way to compare the strength of the two classes since we don’t have the draft capital or landing spots of the 2025 class yet. Let’s dive in.

(Stat key: yds = yards, TDs = touchdowns, y/rr = yards per route run, yac/rec = yards after catch per reception, adot = average depth of target, drp% = drop percentage per target)

Tier 1

1. Marvin Harrison Jr

(2024 WR1, Ohio State)

1,211 yds, 14 TDs,

3.44 y/rr, 6.4 yac/rec

13.1 adot, 8.2 drp%

One of the best wide receiver prospects, Marvin Harrison has elite route running and footwork, attacks the ball in the air, and has an elite bloodline. His only knock is that he tends to go down at first contact and struggles to fight for extra yards because of his slighter frame.  

2. Malik Nabers

(2024 WR2, LSU)

1,568 yds, 14 TDs

3.64 y/rr, 6.6 yac/rec

12.2 adot, 5.3 drp%

Malik Nabers is an elite athlete who runs incredible routes and is strong at the catch point. In his final season at LSU, he showed the potential to be an elite target earner in the NFL and his ability to separate should make him a quarterback’s best friend.

Tier 2

3. Rome Odunze

(2024 WR3, Washington)

1,639 yds, 13 TDs

2.93 y/rr, 5.6 yac/rec

15.5 adot, 3.2 drp%

Rome Odunze was stellar in his final season at Washington. He’s a fluid athlete who excels at getting open and making contested catches. While he lacks elite burst and explosiveness on film, he tested very well at the combine. 

4. Tetairoa McMillan

(2025 WR1, Arizona)

1,133 yds, 7 TDs

2.97 y/rr, 5.8 yac/rec

13.9 adot, 6.8 drp%

For his size, Tetairoa McMillan moves extremely well and has excellent hands. He uses his size well in contested catch situations and consistently catches the ball away from his body. His biggest negative is his lack of elite top-end speed. 

Tier 3

5. Travis Hunter

(2025 WR2, Colorado)

911 yds, 9 TDs

2.33 y/rr, 3.8 yac/rec

10.3 adot, 3.9 drp%

Travis Hunter is one of the biggest wildcard wide receiver prospects ever. His decision to play cornerback, wide receiver, or try to play both ways in the NFL will be one of the biggest factors in his rankings. He is an elite athlete with a slighter frame and some of the best ball skills of any prospect ever. 

6. Brian Thomas Jr

(2024 WR4, LSU)

1,177 yds, 17 TDs

2.61 y/rr, 5.7 yac/rec

13.9 adot, 6.8 drp%

Brian Thomas Jr. tested off the charts at the combine and scored a 9.97 RAS score. He showed an above-average arsenal of release packages and was a legit deep threat at LSU. He ran a limited route tree but has all the skills to develop as a great fantasy asset in the NFL.

7. Luther Burden

(2025 WR3, Missouri)

574 yds, 5 TDs

2.21 y/rr, 5.8 yac/rec

9.5 adot, 3.6 drp%

Luther Burden has struggled with production this year because of his lower volume, but on film, he still shows the elite run-after-the-catch ability that he showed in 2023. He is a good route runner with quick, decisive feet. If he lands with a team that schemes him touches in space, he could be an excellent fantasy asset.

8. Emeka Egbuka

(2025 WR4, Ohio State)

612 yds, 8 TDs

2.54 y/rr, 6.7 yac/rec

7.4 adot, 5.8 drp%

Emeka Egbuka has struggled with injuries in his career and has been outshined by some excellent receivers at Ohio State, but Egbuka is a dependable receiver with underrated route-running and speed. 

Tier 4

9. Tre Harris

(2025 WR5, Ole Miss)

987 yds, 6 TDs

5.25 y/rr, 7.8 yac/rec

11.6 adot, 6.3 drp%

Tre Harris is an older prospect but has put up some consistent numbers over the last three seasons. He’s a slightly above-average route runner and has underrated long speed, but he is faster than he is quick. He excels at making tough contested catches and has great ball skills. His PFF receiving grades of 89.6 in 2023 and 90.1 in 2024 show that he could be a productive NFL receiver.

10. Ladd McConkey

(2024 WR5, Georgia)

483 yds, 2 TDs

3.26 y/rr, 6.3 yac/rec

12.2 adot, 6.3 drp%

Ladd McConkey was outshined by Brock Bowers and fought through some injuries at Georgia, but he was incredibly efficient when given opportunities. He is the best route runner in the 2024 class and tested very well at the combine athletically. His smaller size is cause for some concern, but his ability to create separation should bode well for him in the NFL.

12. Elic Ayomanor

(2025 WR6, Stanford)

660 yds, 6 TDs

1.84 y/rr4.1 yac/rec

15.3 adot, 9.4 drp%

Elic Ayomanor’s production does not match the skill set he exhibits on film. He’s a big-bodied receiver who has incredible ball skills. For his size, he is surprisingly quick and has above-average route running. He doesn’t benefit from the lackluster quarterback play at Stanford, 

12. Adonai Mitchell

(2024 WR6, Texas)

845 yds, 11 TDs

1.72 y/rr, 3.2 yac/rec

16.0 adot, 1.8 drp%

Adonai Mitchell had many moments of brilliance at Texas. He is a great red-zone threat with elite athleticism and strong hands attacking the ball in the air. He has reps with elite separation-creating ability against top corners, but the biggest negative is the fact that he would take reps off consistently. If he can put more consistent effort into his game in the NFL, he could develop into a great asset in the NFL.

13. Troy Franklin

(2024 WR7, Oregon)

1,383 yds, 14 TDs

3.32 y/rr, 6.6 yac/rec

12.8 adot, 10.0 drp%

Troy Franklin is the best deep threat in the 2024 class. He has elite ball-tracking skills and long speed. He has a tall slender build which might be a concern in the NFL, but has enough quickness and separation ability to lessen the concern. 

14. Isaiah Bond

(2025 WR7, Texas)

483 yds, 5 TDs

2.32 y/rr, 8.5 yac/rec

12.1 adot, 6.3 drp%

Isaiah Bond has elite quickness and speed. He’s electric with the ball in his hands and is a threat at all levels of the field. His biggest concern is his size as he projects more as a slot receiver in the NFL, but he is stronger than most his size.

Tier 5

15. Ricky Pearsall

(2024 WR8, Florida)

983 yds, 4 TDs

2.23 y/rr, 5.8 yac/rec

11.0 adot, 3.0 drp%

Ricky Pearsall had one of the greatest catches in college football in the last five years but was still somewhat of a sleeper in the 2024 class. He is an underrated route-runner with excellent hands and had a great week at the Senior Bowl, which historically gives a good indicator of determining if a prospect has NFL talent.

16. Keon Coleman

(2024 WR9, Florida State)

658 yds, 11 TDs

1.74 y/rr, 6.3 yac/rec

12.4 adot, 3.8 drp%

Keon Coleman was one of the toughest evaluations of the 2024 class, his size and playmaking ability were near the top of the class, but his lack of separation ability and poor testing at the combine leave room for concern. He has elite ball skills though and excels at making tough contested catches, boxing out defenders for the ball, and also has some above-average run-after-the-catch ability.

17. Xavier Worthy

(2024 WR10, Texas)

1,014 yds, 5 TDs

2.14 y/rr, 7.6 yac/rec

10.3 adot, 6.3 drp%

Officially the fastest player ever at the combine, Xavier Worthy is more than just a speedy receiver. He has nuances to his route-running and broke out at a very early age at Texas. His biggest concern is his short slight frame and it remains to be seen if he can hold up to faster stronger defenders in the NFL.

18. Evan Stewart

(2025 WR8, Oregon)

609 yds, 5 TDs

1.82 y/rr, 3.3 yac/rec

12.8 adot, 0.0 drp%

Evan Stewart displayed elite playmaking ability as a freshman at Texas A&M but struggled last year and got off to a slow start this year. That being said, he is an above-average deep threat and creates separation well. He also has strong hands evidenced by his zero drops this season.

19. Antonio Williams

(2025 WR9, Clemson)

621 yds, 8 TDs

2.09 y/rr, 4.0 yac/rec

10.5 adot, 11.7 drp%

Antonio Williams has great hands and is a playmaker with the ball in his hands. He’s a fluid athlete with good speed and acceleration and is tough at the catch point. He doesn’t have any elite marks in his profile, but is overall above-average in every aspect of his game and could be a dependable asset in the NFL.

20. Roman Wilson

(2024 WR11, Michigan)

789 yds, 12 TDs

2.68 y/rr, 4.6 yac/rec

13.9 adot, 2.0 drp%

While he wasn’t overly productive in a run-first offense at Michigan, he was the most dependable receiver for a national championship-winning team. He’s a plus athlete with good hands and route-running ability. He turned in a week at the Senior Bowl followed by a solid combine and was a late riser in the process.

21. Xavier Restrepo

(2025 WR10, Miami)

934 yds, 10 TDs

2.46 y/rr, 7.6 yac/rec

12.1 adot, 3.5 drp%

Xavier Restrepo has been an incredibly dependable receiver at Miami with good hands and a knack for finding open space. He is good after the catch as well, though he doesn’t display elite speed, he does have great quickness which helps him create separation. 

22. Jayden Higgins

(2025 WR11, Iowa State)

862 yds, 7 TDs

2.59 y/rr, 4.0 yac/rec

11.4 adot, 2.9 drp%

Jayden Higgins is a big-bodied receiver who moves very well for his size. He consistently catches the ball away from his body. He doesn’t have elite burst, but his long strides allow him to chew up yards quickly when running longer routes. He’s a dependable receiver who could develop into a reliable red-zone threat in the NFL.

23. Ricky White

(2025 WR12, UNLV)

858 yds, 10 TDs

3.27 y/rr, 5.9 yac/rec

11.7 adot, 8.8 drp%

Ricky White is an excellent athlete with great hands and route-running ability. He’s strong after the catch as well, stronger than his slight frame might suggest. He has quick feet and can make defenders miss in open space.

24. Jermaine Burton

(2024 WR12, Alabama)

985 yds, 11 TDs

2.78 y/rr, 8.6 yac/rec

5.5 adot, 7.1 drp%

Jermaine Burton has all the talent in the world, with strong hands and good route-running ability. He is a legit deep threat and seems to have an extra gear with the ball in the air. His biggest concern is about his character as his college career has been marred with off-the-field issues.

25. Xavier Legette

(2024 WR13, South Carolina)

1,255 yds, 7 TD

 3.15 y/rr, 6.4 yac/rec

13.8 adot, 2.7 drp%

Xavier Leggette came out of nowhere in 2023 to put up an excellent anomalous season during his final year at South Carolina. His biggest concern as a prospect is why it took someone with his size, strength, and athleticism so long to break out. He could be a bit of a project but has all the physical tools to succeed in the NFL.

Tier 6

26. Jalen Royals

(2025 WR13, Utah State)

839 yds, 6 TDs

3.00 y/rr, 7.9 yac/rec

9.4 adot, 5.2 drp%

Jalen Royals is an above-average route-runner with excellent quickness and speed. He really excels with the ball in his hands, displaying good elusiveness and contact balance. At times he can look bored, not always running full speed through the endzone, and can have moments of lack of concentration on routine catches.

27. Ja’Lynn Polk

(2024 WR14, Washington)

1,159 yds, 9 TDs

2.29 y/rr, 5.2 yac/rec

13.8 adot, 5.5 drp%

Ja’Lynn Polk has great hands but doesn’t have any elite traits. He was a dependable number two receiving option at Washington in 2023 but never demanded targets throughout his time there. He’s a solid receiver but probably will struggle to develop into a top receiving threat for an NFL team.

28. Jalen McMillan

(2024 WR15, Washington)

553 yds, 5 TDs

2.30 y/rr6.4 yac/rec

9.6 adot, 10.0 drp%

Jalen McMillan’s stock took a hit because of his injury in 2023, but prior to that he was commanding targets behind Odunze at Washington. He is a good route-runner and is elusive with the ball in his hands. He struggled with some drops in his final two seasons at Washington, so will need to clean those up to develop into a dependable target in the NFL.

29. Malik Washington

(2024 WR16, Virginia)

1,384 yds, 9 TDs

3.15 y/rr, 6.4 yac/rec

8.1 adot, 2.6 drp%

Malik Washington was a star for Virginia after transferring from Northwestern, displaying elite athleticism and route-running at all levels of the field. His size will likely limit his potential in the NFL but could be a valuable asset on a team that schemes him touches in the open field.

30. Javon Baker

(2024 WR17, UCF)

1,139 yds, 7 TDs

3.21 y/rr, 7.2 yac/rec

17.1 adot, 10.3 drp%

After transferring from Alabama, Javon Baker turned into an efficient receiver at UCF with a knack for making spectacular catches. His below-average testing at the combine and some character concerns likely limit his ceiling, but he has a skill set that could make him a viable intermediate receiver in the NFL.

31. Tai Felton

(2025 WR14, Maryland)

1,035 yds, 7 TDs

2.46 y/rr, 6.4 yac/rec

10.1 adot, 5.5 drp%

Tai Felton has shown off some excellent body control this year with some impressive route-running ability. He has an extra gear with the ball in his hands and fights for the ball in the air. He has good height for a receiver but could add some weight to his slender frame to withstand the rigors of the position at the next level.

32. Tez Johnson

(2025 WR15, Oregon)

649 yds, 8 TDs

2.60 y/rr, 7.2 yac/rec

5.1 adot, 4.5 drp%

Tez Johnson is shifty and electric with the ball in his hands, but his size is a cause for great concern with his transition to the NFL. He has displayed some dynamic playmaking ability though and has good ball-skills and route-running.

33. Nick Nash

(2025 WR16, San Jose State)

1,282 yds, 14 TDs

2.96 y/rr, 4.2 yac/rec

13.6 adot, 5.9 drp%

Nick Nash is a big-bodied prototypical X-receiver in the NFL who fights for the ball in the air and has great route-running ability. He leads all of college football in receiving yards and touchdowns and has shown to be a legit receiving threat for a smaller program. The fact that he is an older prospect who has been in college football since 2019 puts a slight knock in his dynasty stock though.

34. Jack Bech

(2025 WR17, TCU)

979 yds, 9 TDs

2.58 y/rr, 5.9 yac/rec

13.4 adot, 1.8 drp%

Jack Bech has been consistent this year for TCU. He’s a big strong receiver with great hands and route-running. While he doesn’t have elite burst or acceleration, he uses his strength to outmuscle defensive backs for extra yards after the catch.

35. Devontez Walker

(2024 WR18, North Carolina)

699 yds, 7 TDs

2.28 y/rr, 2.8 yac/rec

18.2 adot, 6.8 drp%

Devontez Walker showed some promise in his final season at North Carolina. He displayed good speed, with decent route running on a limited route tree, though he struggled to create separation consistently. He struggled at the Senior Bowl against pro-level competition which hurt his draft stock.

36. Kyren Lacy

(2025 WR18, LSU)

740 yds, 7 TDs

1.94 y/rr, 4.3 yac/rec

14.6 adot, 10.9 drp%

Kyren Lacy has a quick release off the line and a good catch radius with his long, lanky build. He is a good route-runner and sets up defenders with a good arsenal of moves to create separation. He’s had some issues with drops this year and needs to clean that up to develop as a reliable target in the NFL.

37. Theo Wease Jr

(2025 WR19, Missouri)

637 yds, 3 TDs

2.30 y/rr, 5.5 yac/rec

11.2 adot, 2.1 drp%

Theo Wease Jr. has a similar build to Kyren Lacy and is strong at the catch point. He has the frame to pack on more weight and get stronger at the next level. He’s an above-average route runner but has some room to improve to create more separation. He is a strong runner after the catch, consistently running through arm tackles.

38. Malachi Corley

(2024 WR19, Western Kentucky)

985 yds, 11 TDs

2.78 y/rr, 8.6 yac/rec

5.5 adot, 7.1 drp%

Malachi Corley is limited as a receiver and needs to continue to develop in his route running, but he is a strong runner after the catch. Unfortunately, he projects as a player who needs to be schemed touches instead of manufacturing touches on his own, limiting his ceiling for fantasy.
