Who is the best wide receiver in the NFL right now?
Many would likely say Justin Jefferson of the Minnesota Vikings, who led the league with 1,809 receiving yards last season and has 571 receiving yards through five games this season (he’s currently out with a hamstring injury).
Others may pick Davante Adams of the Las Vegas Raiders, who has 528 yards and three touchdowns so far this year.
But right now, the correct answer is likely Tyreek Hill of the Miami Dolphins, who has been on a torrid tear of late.
At least that is the way former New England Patriots wideout Julian Edelman sees it, per B/R Gridiron.

Last year, Hill had a career-high 1,710 receiving yards, and so far this season, he has been on a record pace with a league-high 902 yards and seven touchdowns.
No wide receiver has ever amassed 2,000 receiving yards in a single season, although Calvin Johnson came close in 2012 with 1,964 yards.
Hill has gone over 150 yards in four of his seven games so far this season, and he has helped make the Dolphins the NFL’s best and most explosive offensive team.
Defense, however, is a major issue for them, especially with both of their starting cornerbacks — Xavien Howard and Jalen Ramsey — out due to injury.
The trade deadline is about a week away, and perhaps they will be active in trying to acquire a defensive upgrade in order to bolster their Super Bowl chances.
