2024 Best NFL wide receivers: Justin Jefferson, Tyreek Hill lead rankings

The NFL season is almost here, with Week 1 approaching rapidly. The FOX Sports NFL staff has been rolling out their annual position rankings to get you acquainted with the biggest names in the sport.

Over the past few weeks, we've covered the top off-ball linebackers, cornerbacks, edge rushers and running backs. Now we'll dive into wide receivers. Members of the FOX Sports NFL staff listed their 10 best in order heading into the 2024 season. A first-place vote merited 10 points in our methodology and descended from there, down to a single point for 10th place. We then combined the scores to determine our rankings.

This year's running backs list saw six returning players from last year's rankings, with receivers being a similar story. Three new faces entered the picture in 2023, with seven returning.

For the second straight year, Justin Jefferson and Tyreek Hill earned the top two spots on the list after dominant performances in 2023.
