24. Sammy Watkins, Buffalo Bills

One of the top rookie wide receivers in the NFL this season has been Sammy Watkins of the Buffalo Bills. He was expected to be a big playmaker when he was drafted, and that is exactly what he has done this year so far. Watkins has caught 62 passes for 925 yards and six touchdowns this year, which gives him a shot at winning Offensive Rookie of the Year, although there are other options expected to finish ahead of him that will be mentioned higher in the rankings.

23. Julian Edelman, New England Patriots

Tom Brady doesn’t have any huge names to work with this season, but Julian Edelman is an extremely solid and consistent wide receiver. Edelman has come through this year with 92 catches for 972 yards and four touchdowns. New England looks to be a good bet to win the AFC once again this year, and Edelman is a big reason for their success.

22. Mike Wallace, Miami Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins haven’t had much success since the Dan Marino era, but they put together a very competitive season this year. Ryan Tannehill has been coming into his own, and Mike Wallace has had a big year in his second season in Miami. Wallace has put up 67 receptions for 862 yards and 10 touchdowns on the year so far, and has been figuring out how to be more than just a speedy receiver.

21. A.J. Green, Cincinnati Bengals

Despite battling a turf-toe injury earlier this season, A.J. Green has been able to put together impressive numbers. He has caught 61 passes for 959 yards and six touchdowns on the season so far. Cincinnati is battling to contend in the AFC playoffs, and Green is their biggest offensive playmaker and has to come through for them.
