NFL wide receiver rankings: Jaxon Smith-Njigba leads top 32

PFF ranks Jaxon Smith-Njigba as its top wide receiver through two weeks, citing 5.54 yards per route run, ahead of Jefferson, Nacua and Chase.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba leads PFF's NFL wide receiver rankings after averaging 5.54 yards per route run through the first two weeks of the season. Justin Jefferson, Puka Nacua and Ja'Marr Chase round out the top four, while several early-season performances create movement throughout the top 32.

A magazine ranking is not a roster move. Smith-Njigba is rostered everywhere already, and he backed up the efficiency number with 42.5 points in Week 2 against a soft Seattle line. This changes nothing for the other three, who are all locked starters regardless of what a spreadsheet says about their order. Start all four, ignore the ranking, and stop reading receiver rankings for players you already own.
