The modern NFL is all about prolific passing attacks. These 10 wide receivers have a chance to boost their teams by leading the league in receiving.

Quarterbacks may get all the glory in today’s NFL, but they can only succeed if they have the talented wide receivers capable of making big plays on a regular basis. More than ever before, each franchise in the league is desperate to have top-flight wideouts capable of powering their offenses to high scores every week.

The number of NFL offenses that now focus their attention on passing makes picking a wide receiver to lead the league in receiving yards a challenge. Plenty of guys have the talent to come out on top. The trick is selecting the player who has the talent and the target share to outshine his peers.

These ten receivers have the best chance to lead the NFL in receiving yards in 2020. Opposing cornerbacks should be very afraid.

Pick Analysis. WR. Carolina Panthers. 10. player. Scouting Report. D.J. Moore. 87

The Panthers aren’t going to be a playoff team in 2020, but that could help Moore’s individual numbers. Carolina’s offense will need to throw the ball a lot when they’re trailing in games.

Moore quietly posted 87 catches for 1,175 yards in 2019. That’s an impressive accomplishment considering the struggles the Panthers had at the quarterback position a season ago. The arrival of Teddy Bridgewater should give him a more consistent passer to work with this season.

It may be slightly too early in Moore’s career for him to lead the NFL in receiving yards, but he’s set for a breakout season in Carolina. Don’t be surprised if Joe Brady allows several of the team’s skill players to put up video game numbers. Moore is the wideout best positioned to take advantage of the Panther’s new regime.
