NFL WR Power Rankings: Ranking the Top 32
By Evan Massey
28. Roddy White, Atlanta Falcons
The Atlanta Falcons have been blessed with the comfort of having 6’0″ playmaking wide receiver Roddy White. He has caught 72 passes for 817 yards and seven touchdowns this season. Alongside of Julio Jones, White is the exact type of receiver that many teams struggle to cover without placing their top corner on him and is a big reason that Atlanta is still alive in the NFC South.
27. Malcolm Floyd, San Diego Chargers
Philip Rivers has put together a great season so far for the San Diego Chargers, but he wouldn’t be playing nearly as good without former Wyoming Cowboys wide receiver Malcolm Floyd. He has come through with some big numbers, catching 49 passes for 827 yards and six touchdowns. San Diego has a real chance to get into the postseason, and Floyd has been one of their key contributors.
26. Marques Colston, New Orleans Saints
Marques Colston is a 31-year-old wide receiver for the New Orleans Saints, and has had yet another solid season. The Saints as a whole were extremely disappointing, but the 57 catches, 851 yards, and four touchdowns that Colston put together this year weren’t bad at all. Without him on the field New Orleans would have been even worse, and he is proving that he is still a capable NFL receiver.
25. Brandon LaFell, New England Patriots
When the New England Patriots signed former Carolina Panthers’ wide receiver Brandon LaFell this past offseason, they were expecting a role player that could come in every now and then and make a play. He has turned into an every down receiver and a go-to target for superstar quarterback Tom Brady. LaFell has caught 70 passes for 883 yards and seven touchdowns on the season, and has shown no signs of slowing down.
