2024 NFL Free Agents: Wide Receiver

Michael Pittman Jr. is a receptions machine. He’s only 26, so he’ll continue to improve.

Tee Higgins has been one of the best No. 2 receivers in the NFL. He can be a No. 1 on many teams.

Mike Evans is an electric play-making receiver who produced mega numbers with Baker Mayfield. The only downside is his age.

Calvin Ridley was inconsistent last year, but he had some dominant performances. At 29, he still has a few great years remaining in the tank.

Mike Williams is a dynamic receiving threat when healthy. Unfortunately, he’s always injured, and things have only gotten worse recently. Williams is coming off a torn ACL and will turn 30 in October, so we may never see the Williams of old ever again.

Marquise Brown has been productive when playing with viable quarterbacks. He’s not quite a No. 1 receiver, but he’s close.

Noah Brown had some massive performances this past season, but spent lots of time dealing with injuries.

Gabriel Davis is a feast-or-famine deep threat receiver. He’s only 25, so he could continue to develop his game.

Tyler Boyd has been a solid third receiver for the Bengals. He has proven that he can be a No. 2 elsewhere.

Curtis Samuel had a solid 2023 season with 62 receptions for 613 yards. He’s a nifty player who can be used in a variety of ways.

D.J. Chark is an explosive receiver with downfield ability, but has issues staying healthy.

Kendrick Bourne was New England’s No. 1 receiver until he tore his ACL. It’s unlikely that Bourne will be 100 percent until 2025.

Darnell Mooney has shown the ability to make some game-breaking plays in the past, but those flashes have been very inconsistent.

K.J. Osborn has some potential as a young receiver, but he tends to make a lot of mistakes.

Demarcus Robinson came out of nowhere to become a reliable third receiver for the Rams. It’s unclear if he can keep this up outside of Sean McVay’s system, however.

Josh Reynolds is an inconsistent deep threat receiver, but had some quality performances in the playoffs when he stepped up for some injured players.

Odell Beckham Jr. showed flashes of his play-making ability at times last year, but looked like he was cooked overall.

Michael Thomas has enjoyed a great career, but it seemed to be coming to an end as a result of injuries sapping his athleticism.

Hunter Renfrow was once a solid slot option for Derek Carr. His production fell off a cliff in 2023, but was in a very crowded receiving corps.
