Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill are quickly establishing themselves as one of the best duos in league history, not just in the current NFL. The star receivers for the Miami Dolphins have combined for nearly 3,000 yards in each of the last two seasons. Waddle recently signed a three-year extension with the Dolphins, solidifying their partnership for the future. This has sparked debate over which wide receiver duo in the league deserves the title of the best.
Ranking Best Wide Receiver Duos
It’s a challenging task to rank the best wide receiver duos in the NFL today. Teams like the Dolphins, Philadelphia Eagles, Cincinnati Bengals, and others all have strong cases. The debate has been ongoing for some time, with even legendary wide receivers weighing in with their opinions.
Former NFL player Chad Johnson has picked A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith as the top WR duo in the league. Let’s analyze where some of the best duos currently stand.
10) Seattle Seahawks | DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett
Honorable Mention: Los Angeles Rams (Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp), Dallas Cowboys (CeeDee Lamb and Brandin Cooks), Cleveland Browns (Amari Cooper and Jerry Jeudy)
Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf form a solid duo for the Seahawks. While they have seen success in the playoffs and have been consistent performers, there are concerns about Lockett’s age and Metcalf’s future with the team. Despite this, they remain an important part of the Seahawks lineup.
9) New York Jets | Garrett Wilson and Mike Williams
Garrett Wilson has shown potential to be an elite receiver with the right quarterback. The addition of Mike Williams to the Jets’ roster adds firepower to their offense. This duo has the potential to make a significant impact despite being relatively unproven as a pair.
8) Minnesota Vikings | Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison
Minnesota boasts Justin Jefferson, one of the league’s top receivers, and Jordan Addison, a promising talent. While they have the potential to be a dominant duo, uncertainties around target distribution and the presence of other offensive threats impact their ranking on this list.
7) Tampa Bay Buccaneers | Mike Evans and Chris Godwin
Mike Evans and Chris Godwin have been consistent performers for the Buccaneers. Despite not putting up gaudy numbers, they have contributed to Tampa Bay’s success, especially in the playoffs. Their reliability and playoff experience earn them a spot on this list.
6) Chicago Bears | Keenan Allen and DJ Moore
The Bears’ duo of Keenan Allen and DJ Moore brings a mix of veteran experience and young talent. Allen’s consistency and Moore’s skills complement each other well. However, uncertainties around their roles and potential changes in the lineup impact their ranking.
5) Houston Texans | Stefon Diggs and Nico Collins
Stefon Diggs and Nico Collins have the potential to be a formidable duo for the Texans. Their proven track records and ability to impact games make them a solid pairing. If they can stay healthy and perform at a high level, Houston could see significant offensive success.
4) San Francisco 49ers | Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel
Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel have been key contributors to the 49ers’ success. Their performance under Kyle Shanahan’s offensive scheme has been impressive. However, concerns around their production and potential roster changes impact their overall ranking.
3) Cincinnati Bengals | Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins
Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins have showcased their talent in the Super Bowl and consistently put up strong numbers. However, uncertainties surrounding their future and contract negotiations impact their ranking on this list.
2) Miami Dolphins | Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle
Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle are known for their speed and athleticism, making them a formidable duo for the Dolphins. Despite their impressive yardage, their lack of division titles and playoff success hinder their ranking.
1) Philadelphia Eagles | A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith
A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith top the list due to their performance in critical games and complementing skill sets. Their success in high-pressure situations and effective partnership make them the best duo in the league.
