BONUS: Arizona Cardinals: DeAndre Hopkins and Marquise Brown
This pair would be higher if Hopkins wasn’t suspended for the first six games. Brown brings the speed to stretch out defenses, which will eventually open more space for Hopkins and allow him to remain one of the best chain-movers and pass-catchers of contested balls in the league.
Odds to lead NFL in Receiving Yards
Brown: +3500, Hopkins: +5000.
10. Philadelphia Eagles: A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith
If quarterback Jalen Hurts takes the expected step forward in his third season, Brown and Smith could quickly become one of the better one-two punches in the league. Of course, Brown will need to stay healthy, and Smith will need to take a step forward of his own.
Odds to lead NFL in Receiving Yards
Brown: +3500, Smith: +7500.
9. Seattle Seahawks: DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett
Metcalf and Lockett combined for 4,499 receiving yards and 40 touchdowns the past two seasons, but they’ll no longer be catching passes from quarterback Russell Wilson. Now it’s wait-and-see time for just how big a downgrade it is to signal callers Geno Smith and/or Drew Lock.
Odds to lead NFL in Receiving Yards
Metcalf: +3500, Lockett: +5000
8. Miami Dolphins: Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle
Speaking of questionable quarterback play, while Hill and Waddle boast endless upside, will it come to fruition on the field? All the offseason praise of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is just noise, otherwise.
Odds to lead NFL in Receiving Yards
Hill: +1400, Waddle: +5000
