Road To 1K: WRs

* This content was brought to you without the use or assistance of any generative AI

In this brief write-up, I’ll review the wide receivers in PML who have hit one thousand yards on the season and those trying to get that bonus money and pride by the end of the season. I’ll be ignoring all running backs at or nearing one thousand receiving yards because SHAME on all of you.

Potential 2K Club

Brian Thomas Jr

If he doesn’t rest, he’ll absolutely be the first wideout to ever cross the mark.

Marvin Harrison Jr

He isn’t on BTJ’s level but 2k is in reach if he wants it and shows out down the stretch.

Easy One Thousand

Nico Collins

He lowkey fell off after the strong start and is still dominating. Offense-heavy Madden.

George Pickens

Pickens has been utilized more than CeeDee. Bad loss for Pittsburgh as his size and speed dominate.

Rome Odunze

The #1 for the Bears is benefiting from a dynamic pass-heavy offense.

Malik Nabers

I can write the same thing I wrote for Rome Odunze and just replace Bears with Giants.

Tetiaroa McMillan

The top rookie receiver in terms of production and skill, JT loves his guy.

Xavier Worthy

Speeeeeed. Even at 0-13 with Mahomes being trash, speed is enough to break a thousand yards.

Ja’Marr Chase

RoboBurrow got Chase right, but I’m sure he’d be up here regardless.

Tyreek Hill

I can write the same thing I wrote for Xavier Worthy pretty much, Dolphins not as bad I guess.

Mike Evans

Still putting up a thousand and continuing his streak. It’ll end during the cycle, though.

Christian Kirk

He capitalized with Nico Collins suspension and made a name for himself.

Ladd McConkey

Who is the Chargers coach? Who cares if the players are developing.

CeeDee Lamb

He’s still getting plenty of touches and yards, even with Pickens encroaching.

Luther Burden III

Despite having the 4th most receptions on the team, the rookie has crossed the mark.

DK Metcalf

Pickens is doing better, but DK has still found a home with the Steelers. I kind of expect more.

Puka Nacua

Puka forced a triple crown WR out of town, that’s talent and aura.

Terry McLaurin

Scary Terry is lowkey getting old, but Washington has other young guys.

Keenan Allen

Speaking of getting old, he’s still kicking now that he’s back with the Chargers.

Jameson Williams

98 speed, he’d better be breaking this barrier every season. Nef struggles nonetheless.

Justin Jefferson

Not quite the player he is in real life, but he’s still winning every route in man coverage.

Chris Godwin Jr

Respect to Vet for getting his veterans their yards in a league dominated by younger players.

Xavier Legette

I imagine this WR room will get even more crowded soon enough.

Jaylin Lane

Here’s the Commander’s young guy getting action, learning from Terry.

Jayden Reed

Green Bay is a tight end heavy offense, but pass heavy is the real key.

Emeka Egbuka

The vets are satisfied, so they’ve taught him enough to get one thousand, too.

Quentin Johnston

Madden made him genuinely fast and at 6’4, I’m sure he’ll continue to be a force.

Tre Tucker

Speed kills, no matter what size you are.

Adam Thielen

Okay, so maybe speed doesn’t matter and it’s just scheme.

Will They, Won’t They

Dont’e Thornton Jr

He’s so fast and tall, he better get it so he can start his dominance young.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba

He absolutely should and will. The #1 WR on an offense pushing for the playoffs.

Garrett Wilson

He’s slowed down after his 5-TD game. Same thing as JSN, though, it’s a yes.

Keon Coleman

So slow, but strong and talented, so he has a shot. I’m personally betting against.

DeVonta Smith

Going to go with no as Philly feeds Saquon over and over.

DJ Moore

He’d be the fourth 1k receiver on his team. Unlikely, but possible.

Darnell Mooney

Mooney has blossomed in Atlanta, I think he can do it as they push for the 2 seed.

Courtland Sutton

Such a pass-heavy offense, I expect Sutton to make enough big plays to hit 1k.

Drake London

The big beast to Mooney’s quickness, London should hit 1k easier than Mooney.

Zay Flowers

I’m guessing he won’t, simply because Baltimore needs to use it’s best players (Henry and Andrews) to win.

Ricky Pearsall

Another player I’m leaning and saying no to. This team is worse every week.

Cooper Kupp

He pulled a reverse Bobby Wagner going to Seattle, but has been productive. I don’t think he’s going to be productive enough for this, though.

Marvin Mims Jr

It’s kind of a long shot, but I think he will as Fallen continues to pass and utilize his speed.

AJ Brown

Real life AJ Brown actually would have quit by now. PML AJ Brown will hit one thousand yards with ease if Bohmer wants him to. If he doesn’t care, he’ll just run the season out.

AT Perry

Yeahhhh, no. I love Perry and that Fallen is using him, but it’s just too crowded. Someone has to be left behind.

Jayden Higgins

Another player who benefited from Nico Collins’ suspension, Higgins is quickly making a push for 1k and I think he’ll make it.
