Jarvis Landry & Mike Wallace

The Miami Dolphins have the best wide receivers in the AFC East and it’s not even close.

This season we saw Mike Wallace start to play at the high level that a lot of Dolphins fans were expecting in his first season. Wallace responded this year by having his second double-digit touchdown receiving season of his career. Only having 67 catches he also added 862 receiving yards.

Wallace and starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill looked in sync the whole season and look like their relationship will continue to grow. People will point to the fact that Tannehill and Wallace rarely, if ever connect on the deep pass, but regardless of their deep ball woes the two are a good complement to each other.

Regardless of the high school drama that Wallace causes from time to time, he’s still one of the Dolphins best players.

The player who took everyone by surprise, well most people, is rookie wide receiver Jarvis Landry. The rookie had awesome numbers posting 84 catches, 758 receiving yards and five touchdowns. Next season Landry is going to have an increased role with the offense and his growth could give the Dolphins two 1,000 yard pass catchers.
