There are a lot of attributes that players will want to see pumped into their wide receivers' various Attribute categories. All players in the game will want a high rating for the General Attributes category, but wide receivers will want their second-highest rating to be in their Receivings Attribute category.

5 Amon-Ra St. Brown

Overall Rating: 95

Amon-Ra St. Brown is a wide receiver for the Detroit Lions team and made his video debut in Madden NFL 22 — making him the player with the lowest number of appearances among those on this list. Out of all his Receiving Attributes, his highest rating is in Catching — which is a stunning 99. Players will want their wide receiver to always get the ball when it comes their way, making this 99 a very desirable rating.

Every player that made it onto this list is a Superstar X-Factor player. This means they each will have access to a powerful ability to make use of once they enter the zone. When Amon-Ra enters the zone, he will be able to make use of the Superstar X-Factor ability called Double Me. This ability will increase his success rate for aggressive catches against single coverage.

4 A.J. Brown

Overall Rating: 95

A.J. Brown is a wide receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles and has a slightly higher number of total Attributes compared to Amon-Ra. When looking through his Receiving Attributes, his highest rating is in Spectacular Catch — which sits at 98. Catching the ball will happen with plenty of different factors occurring at the same time. The special condition for Spectacular Catch is when the player is catching the ball while they are being defended.

A.J. Brown can make use of the Superstar X-Factor ability known as Max Security. This ability will allow A.J. To increase his success on possession catches when he enters the zone. However, that is not all this ability does. It will also decrease his knockout chance while it is in effect. Great players like A.J. Will really help when players feel they are ready to turn up the difficulty.

3 CeeDee Lamb

Overall Rating: 96

CeeDee is a wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys and is the player with the highest number of total Attributes among those who made it on this list. Just like A.J. Brown, his highest rating among his Receiving Attributes is in his Spectacular Catch — which also happens to be 98. As mentioned at the start, all players benefit from having a high rating in General Attributes, and CeeDee Lamb has a 3-point rating above A.J.

CeeDee is able to make use of the YAC ‘Em Up Superstar X-Factor ability. Using this ability will almost guarantee that CeeDee can break his first post-catch tackle once he enters the zone. This makes him a massive threat to players trying to shut him down. This is a great skill for hitting obtainable goals in the Franchise game mode.

2 Justin Jefferson

Overall Rating: 98

Justin Jefferson is a wide receiver for the Minnesota Vikings and is also a player with a high rating in Spectacular Catch. However, his Spectacular Catch has a phenomenal 99 rating. Paired with a 98 rating in his Stima means he can sprint longer than any other player here before getting tired. This high rating is something a lot of fans will be able to get behind.

Justin is able to make use of the RAC ‘Em Up Superstar X-Factor ability. This will increase the likelihood of success on RAC catches. RAC stands for Run and Catch and will let the player catch the ball mid-stride, and keep going. Just be sure to check how good the opponent’s Safeties are.

1 Tyreek Hill

Overall Rating: 99

Tyreek Hill is a wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins and has made consistent appearances since Madden NFL 17 — making him the player with the highest number of appearances among those mentioned here. They have a wide range of high ratings among their General and Receiving Attribute categories, including a 99 rating in Speed, Awareness, Release, as well as 5 ratings of 98. Release is how fast a player will be able to run their route after the ball is snapped, and when paired with Speed and Awareness makes him the best wide receiver in the entire game.

When it comes to his Superstar X-Factor ability, he has RAC ‘Em Up — just like Justin. This ability is even more dangerous in Tyreek’s hands thanks to his 99 ratings in Speed and Awareness, as his Awareness will determine just how well he will be reacting to situations going on around him while moving with his increased chance of success for RAC catches. Very few players can break their way into the 99 club, but Tyreek Hill is one of the few to manage it.
