With the NFL being a pass-happy league nowadays, having an elite wide receiver corps can take a team a very long way.
Great quarterbacks manage to get by regardless of who’s out there catching the football.
However, having some playmakers will obviously make it a lot easier for everyone on the offense.
With that in mind, Trevor Sikkema of PFF put together his list of the top-five WR corps in the NFC as we head to the 2023 NFL season.

At No. 5, he shockingly chose the Minnesota Vikings, most likely just because of the fact that they have a legit superstar in Justin Jefferson, as they pretty much fall off after him with K.J. Osborn and Jordan Addison.
At No. 4, Sikkema took a big leap forward by choosing the Dallas Cowboys, currently featuring the likes of Brandin Cooks, CeeDee Lamb, and Michael Gallup.
The Seattle Seahawks then got the nod at No. 3, and that shouldn’t be much of a surprise, considering the fact that they have DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, and now stellar rookie Jaxon Smith-Njigba ready to wreak havoc on the open field.
Then, he chose the San Francisco 49ers at No. 2, with Deebo Samuel leading the way alongside Jauan Jennings and Brandon Aiyuk, not to mention what Christian McCaffrey could do when he’s lined up at WR.
Last but not least, he obviously went with the most stacked team in the NFC, and arguably the league, choosing the Philadelphia Eagles’ stellar duo of DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown, with Olamide Zaccheaus rounding the roster up.
