Top 10 Wide Receiver Duos in the NFL
While the NFL is loaded with teams featuring impressive wide receiver duos, these are the best of the best leading into the 2022 season. Odds via Caesars Sportsbook.
BONUS: Arizona Cardinals: DeAndre Hopkins and Marquise Brown
This pair would be higher if Hopkins wasn’t suspended for the first six games. Brown brings the speed to stretch out defenses, which will eventually open more space for Hopkins and allow him to remain one of the best chain-movers and pass-catchers of contested balls in the league.
Odds to lead NFL in Receiving Yards
Brown: +3500, Hopkins: +5000.
10. Philadelphia Eagles: A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith
If quarterback Jalen Hurts takes the expected step forward in his third season, Brown and Smith could quickly become one of the better one-two punches in the league. Of course, Brown will need to stay healthy, and Smith will need to take a step forward of his own.
Odds to lead NFL in Receiving Yards
Brown: +3500, Smith: +7500.
9. Seattle Seahawks: DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett
Metcalf and Lockett combined for 4,499 receiving yards and 40 touchdowns the past two seasons, but they’ll no longer be catching passes from quarterback Russell Wilson. Now it’s wait-and-see time for just how big a downgrade it is to signal callers Geno Smith and/or Drew Lock.
Odds to lead NFL in Receiving Yards
Metcalf: +3500, Lockett: +5000
8. Miami Dolphins: Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle
Speaking of questionable quarterback play, while Hill and Waddle boast endless upside, will it come to fruition on the field? All the offseason praise of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is just noise, otherwise.
Odds to lead NFL in Receiving Yards
Hill: +1400, Waddle: +5000
7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Mike Evans and Chris Godwin
Godwin’s recovery timeline from a December ACL tear remains unknown and hitting the PUP list isn’t out of the question. So, Evans could be riding solo for the first six games of the season. Still, the only reason the Tampa tandem is this low is because Godwin could miss time.
Odds to lead NFL in Receiving Yards
Evans: +2000, Godwin: +4500
6. Las Vegas Raiders: Davante Adams and Hunter Renfrow
Renfrow broke out last season, and now opposing defenses also have to account for both Adams and tight end Darren Waller. Add the reality that Vegas will have to air it out plenty to keep up with the other high-scoring AFC West teams, and Adams and Renfrow should have huge seasons.
Odds to lead NFL in Receiving Yards
Adams: +1100, Renfrow: +5000

5. Buffalo Bills: Stefon Diggs and Gabriel Davis
Diggs is an established star with four consecutive 1,000-receiving yard showings, and Davis is arguably the No. 1 breakout candidate in the league – regardless of position. Just rewind to Davis’ highlight reel from the Divisional Playoff Round if you need a reminder.
Odds to lead NFL in Receiving Yards
Diggs: +1800, Davis: +10000
4. Los Angeles Rams: Cooper Kupp and Allen Robinson
After pacing the NFL in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns last year, Kupp might now have the best wide receiver of his career opposite him in 2022. Wipe Robinson’s 2021 showing from the record and remember he’s still just 28 years old and has career highs of 102 receptions, 1,400 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns on his resume.
Odds to lead NFL in Receiving Yards
Kupp: +800, Robinson: +10000
3. Minnesota Vikings: Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen
Jefferson is one of the betting favorites to lead the NFL in receiving yards, and veteran Thielen is a savvy complement. What’s most encouraging is the coaching change to offensive minded Kevin O'Connell. He has past history with quarterback Kirk Cousin and was the offensive coordinator for the Super Bowl Champion Los Angeles Rams last year, after all.
Odds to lead NFL in Receiving Yards
Jefferson: +800, Thielen: +15000
2. Los Angeles Chargers: Keenan Allen and Mike Williams
After flashing through the first four seasons of his career – including catching 10 touchdowns as a sophomore – Williams put it all together in 2021. Along the same lines, the ever-dangerous Allen has only missed three games the past five years after battling a lot of injuries earlier in his career.
Odds to lead NFL in Receiving Yards
Allen: +4000, Williams: +4000
1. Cincinnati Bengals: Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins
Good luck crowning another pair of wide receivers with the No. 1 spot. And, as if they weren’t already prolific enough, Chase and Higgins will also benefit from Cincinnati’s efforts to bolster its offensive line during the offseason. In fact, it’s more a question of just how illustrious they can become as they enter their primes?
Odds to lead NFL in Receiving Yards
Chase: +1200, Higgins: +5000
