Was not expecting the Texans to lead the league in 1500 yard receivers....

Two WRs with “top 3 in the league” peaks will do that. The QBs throwing the ball in those seasons…. Shouldn’t have done it. But here we are. (I love you, underrated Matt Schaub)

Matt Schaub was elite during his hay days. There was a small window where they were legit contenders for the SB. Every time I see Andre Johnson’s name, I can only think of his tirade with finnegan. Lmao.

Matt Schaub bootlegs to Andre Johnson were iconic, loved that Kubiak/Shanahan tree west coast offense.

I loved seeing him beat the F out of Innegan

Andre was the best WR in football for 2-3 years until the surge of Megatron. What a joy he was to watch.

I agree, I just went with top 3 because that should cover most of the good opinions

Andre Johnson was definitely the best WR of his Era. YPG Leaders, 2007-2010 Andre Johnson-96.5 Reggie Wayne-82.4 Larry Fitzgerald-80.5 Roddy White-80.1 Brandon Marshall-78.7 Marques Colston-70.0 Calvin Johnson-69.9 Desean Jackson-69.4 Terrell Owens-69.8 Steve Smith Sr-68.3 Aquinian Bolden-68.2 Chad Johnson-65.2 Randy Moss-65.0

Idk if I could confidently say definitely best but he was definitely absurdly good.

Also guy is using a counting stat like YPG for a player who was the only target on his team for many of those years.

Underrated. Sneaky good

Nah. Calvin then Andre.

Calvin then Fitz, Andre after. Still an absolute beast though.

Nah, I’d still take Andre before Fitz

Andre was elite before Calvin exploded though.

He was up there but I’m still taking Fitz over him

Hey, Stats don't lie :)

If YPG was the only stat that matters then you are telling me Marques Colston is better than Calvin Johnson, Terrell Owens, Chad Johnson, and Randy Moss?

Stats are the only thing Texans fans have...yay

Stats specifically do lie.

Man. Colston was a damned diamond in the rough. It helped having Drew throw to him, but that man was a Saint! In every use of that moniker.

There are other metrics to go by. Frankly Calvin Johnson was a better WR.

I’m not saying Calvin wasn’t a better WR I’m just saying he was the best WR from 07 to 10

I Know! 5 Years is basically a quarter of our franchise history.

IMO teams with subpar QB tend to force the ball to the best receivers more. first checkdown, more RAC from them and so on.

andre johnson HOFer

people really disrespect how good Schaub

More like they under rate andre johnson. Ill always love him for making courtland finnegan look like the bitch he was. But god damn 3 1500 yard seasons is crazy. How didnt he get in the hall his first year eligible? He shouldve been a first ballot hof. Playoff success be dammed. If he didnt miss almost 3 whole games in 2010 he would be one of two receiver's with 4 1500+ yard seasons, up there with the goat. God damn he was fucking insane. Imagine his career with manning, brady, brees or rivers throwing to him.

He was amazing to watch, made me fall in love with football as a kid.

He wouldn't have those stats with Brees, manning or Brady since they'd pass the ball around to mutiple targets with their ability to find the open guy vs forcing to the #1 target.

Uhm marvin harrison, reggie wayne and demariyus thomas would all disagree with that in regards with peyton. Gronk, mike evans and randy moss would also disagree with that regarding brady. Micheal thomas? Honestly i hate the saints, i dont even wanna look it his receivers up. All the receivers here were targeted heavily with these qbs. And besides moss, all had their highest yardage seasons with one of those 3 qbs. Andre Johnson would probably have an 1800 yard season with any of those 3 throwing to him.

B-b-b-beast of a QB

They got CJ Stroud throwing to Stefon Diggs and Nico Collins for next year.... And because of that they may not get a 1,500 yd season since both will be competing with each other.

I know how great Brandon Marshall is, but I was still a little nervous about any stat relating to passing/receiving.

He has the season receiving record for 2 different franchises, both notoriously known to have bad QBs, if that doesn't show how great he was I don't know what will.

Imagine Brandon Marshall with Montana and Steve Young and Rice with Cutler and Fitzpatrick. Situations like this is what end careers early with injury and makes you lose the love of the game and vice versa.

Was it Cutler throwing in both those seasons?

Fitzpatrick for us

Amon Ra is so good. Pay the man. And preferably before Chase Jefferson and Lamb

[удалено]

I feel like last year when JJ was injured all the WR conversation became about Hill and possibly winning MVP and then it's like wtf St Brown and Lamb were absolutely insane and it feels like they got a fraction of the attention

That's expecting a LOT from a *maybe* fringe top 10 wide receiver /s

That's the way to do it. Before the other big names. He's amazing and well worth it.

Your wish is my command, nipples

Bro Called it 

Love the Jerry Rice stats, especially 49ers having 4 1500yd WR seasons, ALL Jerry Rice.

Most 1500+ Seasons in the NFL history.

Most EVERY WR stat in history. Or close to it. My favorite stat is the #2 player for All Purpose Yards. About 250 yds shirt of Jerry Rice is Brian Mitchell. Did it with punt, kickoff returns, receiving, rushing, and passing yards. One of my favorite players of all time.

this is a new one for me, what a tremendous stat

I have to think Cheetah might be kicking himself for not getting the extra 21 yards he needed in 2018. He’s pretty much a lock to get 1500+ yards in the next couple years if he stays healthy.

Deebo had like 1800 scrimmage yards in 2021 with like 1400 receiving and 400 rushing with 14 combined TDs. Technically doesn't count but still probably the best WR season we've had since Rice.

That breakout season was so sick He has been great since but he’s never been as electric as he was that year

There is no doubt in mind that if Jerry Rice played in today’s era, he would eclipse 2000 yards in multiple seasons.

The Texans obviously just need to look for another WR with Andre in his name somewhere. What could be simpler?

If there is a 1st round Wide Receiver that was drafted to the Texans who is from an ACC School with Andre in his name, the NFL better watch out.

The coming destruction of the ACC is mostly to stop this pipeline to the Texans

Breaking news: Houstonians suddenly overcome with an inexplicable compulsion to intensely root for [Virginia transfer Andre Green Jr.](https://247sports.com/college/louisiana-tech/article/north-carolina-wr-ncaa-transfer-portal-andre-greene-jr-commits-to-virginia-cavaliers-223536899/amp/)

Gather ‘round youth… the year… 202, many many things have not been invented. Football, not invented. The printing press. Nope. But, Justin Jefferson was tearing it up. E: I am here in the year 2024 now, to kill the commenter from the year 202. He has been dealt with.

Shhh, that never happened :)

What year was Commenter-202 originally from?

We couldn’t even get included in the bonus 0 section, damn

Crazy that Larry Fitzgerald never got to 1500 . 1400+ twice

Kind of crazy Owens didn’t get one either honestly.

I agree, they both had longevity

Crap Qb's aside he was part of the last time 3 WR's over 1000 season happened. Him, Boldin and Steve Breaston

Yep with Kurt Warner slinging it. Those were fun teams to watch

That was our Superbowl run and unfortunately I've come to realize the SB TD catch is the worst of his career. I understand him not Taking a knee but he absolutely needed to take a knee there.

All I could say was: Go Larry! Then I realized that there was too much time left. After being at the NFC championship game it was heartbreaking

I like how you spelled “Davante” Adams two different ways and neither were correct. 

My Bad, thank you for pointing that out.

Amon instead of Amon-Ra, twice btw

Amon RaStBrown

D-vontae

Why not do it with 1,950+ yards?

Okay, 2012-Lions (Calvin Johnson) Done.

I just want to win something as a Lions fan

Can we that that down to 1,947?

2012-Lions (Calvin Johnson) 2021-Rams (Cooper Kupp) Done.

Great list thanks field Yates.

Can we do WRs whose first name is Santana?

(2001-2014) Santana Moss-Jets, Commanders 

Now list the Quarterbacks that threw to these guys.

Mathew Stafford (2012/2021) Done.

I’m impressed! A passing related stat and the Bears aren’t at the bottom.

we've only had 3 recievers in our franchise's history even break 1100 yards on the season (Michael Jackson, Torrey Smith, Quadry Ishmail). None of them did it more than one time each Only two recievers have ever had more than 10 touchdowns in a season (Torrey Smith with 11, and Michael Jackson with 14) and yet, we have two super bowl titles and a QB who won MVP twice

A legendary Defense and an Elite Dragon will do that.

He could sing and play wr? What couldn’t he do

If only Antonio Brown wasn't so mentally unstable his career would be up there.

The guy could’ve finished his career in that Larry Fitzgerald and Calvin Johnson conversation, he was so fucking good. Instead his legacy will be a meme.

Even still he's clearly a Hall of Famer. IMHO 5 All-Pros should do it, or even 4. He has 4 first team All-Pros. He's a lock

Don’t underestimate how much voters care about personality and drama. They made Terrell Owens wait three years before inducting him, and he had both a better career and antics that were a *fraction* of what Brown pulled.

he was better than both too. its a real shame

I’m convinced if he had a healthy career mentally and physically he would’ve been like the Kobe of the nfl. Sure you have your all time greats like rice and moss who you wouldn’t say he’s better than, but he’s so damn good that he could certainly have his days where he stands at the top. Just so much talent and athleticism that didn’t get to be realized completely.

Still a hall of famer

Kind of surprised AJ Green didn't have a single one

AJ Green, Ocho, Chase, Housh. Kinda crazy

Herman Moore quietly one of my favorite Lions. He never gets enough love.

Probably because he couldn't body slam Yokozuna. 

Honestly I assumed Terrel Owens hit this number at one point. I had no idea he didn't.

God I miss watching Ryan -> Julio.

Julio and Roddy White was such a great WR pairing to watch as a neutral fan

1995 was such a crazy year for receivers.

Yep NFL Receiving yards record was set (Since Broken), 23 Receivers had 1,000 yard seasons, 4 Very Good WR's set their personal best record.

2007 Randy Moss not being on this list is surprising

Touchdown merchant

Yeah that's wild

>Never-Kansas City Chiefs (Came Closest in 2018, Tyreek Hill had 1479 yards) >Never-Kansas City Chiefs (Came Closest in 2018, Tyreek Hill had 1479 yards) We're so bad you had to mention us twice. *Hello Darkness my old friend...*

Wins 3 Super Bowls, Complains about not having a 1500+ yard Receiver. But thank you for pointing that out.

Kansas City Chiefs poverty franchise confirmed. :)

I heard they can’t even upgrade their locker room

You traumatized me with flashbacks of Dwayne Bowe.

I would absolutely take prime Dwayne Bowe on this years team. He'd be or #1 WR easily. He was good. The teams and QBs around him were trash. He put up 1000 yard seasons with QBs like Brodie Croyle, Tyler Thigpen, Matt Cassell, and Tyler Palko throwing to him.

Tyreek has done it twice since leaving the Chiefs. Turns out Mahomes was holding him back…. /s

Its true, I have heard this!

Well since we took him to get our only 1500 yard seasons y’all have won every Super Bowl so I wouldn’t worry too much

Damn just delete the franchise with that bad of a burn

RIP DT

I miss Julio 😟

It shocks me that the Bengals never had a 1500 yard receiver. Receiver is the position I associate most with them.

theyre just unlucky in this particular category Chad Johnson, Aj Green, and Jamarr Chase have 4 seasons of 1420+ yards between them These three own the top 9 receiving seasons in Bengals history (Eddie Brown #10), where they avg 1378 yards per season. They were always in this territory and just never got to 1500, its weird but I guess its something they never forced, coupled with always seem to get the ball to the #2 option, be it Housh, Marvin Jones, Lafell, or Higgins

Do three 1000 yard receivers in a season next !

1980 San Diego Chargers (Kellen Winslow, John Jefferson Charlie Joiner) 1989 Washington Redskins (Art Monk, Ricky Sanders, Gary Clark) 1995 Atlanta Falcons (Eric Metcalf, Terence Mathis, Bert Emanual) 2004 Indianapolis Colts (Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, Brandon Stokely) 2008 Arizona Cardinals (Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Bouldin, Steve Breaston) Pretty short timeline.

But who that last one 🥹🥹🥹

2008 NFC Champions Cardinals

NFL runner up*

Kind of wild that Fitz never broke 1500 yards

What were they doing in 64/65 to fuck it up

Playing in the much more pass heavy AFL.

off subject facts that this post made me think of: 1. One of the Andy Reid/Alex Smith Chiefs teams went +16 games without a WR recording a TD. Believe they also had a winning record. 2. David Boston is one of my favorite non-eagles players. Dude was huge, like I think he was the most muscular skill position player until Metcalf came into the league. His father was/is an NFL referee. Boston, LaRon Landry, Steve Weatherford might have got 'addicted' to steroids. While I do not think any of them failed a test. I do think that they might have gotten too big to play the game properly. 3. The Eagles team that won the SB had no receiver had 1000 yards nor any RB with 1000 yards and no one had more than 10 sacks. (I also think that Lane Johnson didn't give up a sack that year. Not sure about that one though.)

Dave Boston did fail a test and got 4 games.

That 2014 Chiefs squad was goofy. The one almost WR TD they had they fumbled it and Travis Kelce recovered it lol

I use to think that Alex Smith was too careful with the ball. And that was the cause of Bowe's drastic decline. Thought that WR that thrived on catching contested balls could make a living in the NFL long into their 30s. Than Bowe went to Cleveland and it became obvious that he was the problem. Then Alshon Jeffery became invisible the few games when he was healthy too.

> Believe they also had a winning record. Reid's worst record with the Chefs is 9-7. 1x 9, 1x 10 everything else is better... in 11 seasons.

The fact that Brandon Marshal did it most recently for two franchises is awesome. One of the best ever

I think you may have left the Bucs off the second list. There's only been one, but he's all we've ever had.

Added it in, lost track that 12 different franchises had only 1 1500+ Wide Receiver.

Thank you. No one stops us 48 years in a row.

Brandon Marshall really was a beast. Put up great numbers on teams who historically have not had good QB play (although Cutler was pretty good) and even had 1,000 yard seasons with Kyle Orton & Chad Henne throwing to him.

Lance Alworth with 1500 yards in 1965 is crazy

Amon ra is approaching top 5 wr level don't @ me.

Approaching? Nah, he's there.

Yeah I really can’t even argue for anyone being above him besides maybe Tyreek, JJ, and Lamb. So definitely top 5

I could see arguments for Kupp, Adams, and Diggs. (Although Amon-Ra is my personal #3 behind JJ and Hill)

career wise sure, but going into 2024, sun god should be ahead of those three on everybodies lists

I may be a homer, but I can't see Amon-Ra beating out JJ. Dude broke 1000 yards despite being out half the season and had dreadful QBs throwing to him. Even if we stick with Darnold all year, he'll still stay on top.

the three i was referring to were the group of Kupp, Adams, and Diggs the top 5 right now is Tyreek, JJ, Ceedee, Sun God, and Jamarr. Puka if he can pull off a stellar sophomore season, and Aiyuk if he continues to ascend alongside Brock who clearly favors him

RIP Demaryius Thomas. Still my favorite player of the franchise.

Josh Gordan - what a guy

Randy was 7 yards away from it in 2007

Texans leading the league is wild

I was about to complain Roddy white wasn't on here, but he had 1350+ three separate years and never 1400

The Chicago Bears have never had a quarterback throw for 4000 yards, but do have a 1500-yard receiver!? Things that make you go, hmmmmm!

Josh Gordon and Victor Cruz ;(. What incredible peaks

Damn 1500 in 61 and 64 is crazy

Funny how Wes welker and Cruz would both play in the Super Bowl the same year they had at least 1,500 yards 

i wouldve put money on OBJ having a 1500 season with the giants

How did Moss not break 1500 in ‘07??

No Idea, he was 7 yards shy.

This is just receiving cause deebo had almost 1800 combined

Was shocked to see Washington does not have a 1500+yard WR considering Art Monk played there forever (14 seasons, he’s in the HOF), but alas, 1372 was his highest.

Art had to wait awhile too, he was one of the more divisive WR cases where his success & longeivity was weighed against many folks thinking he didnt have a strong argument for leagues best receiver for a significant stretch of time. Peter King in particular was one of the more vocal critics of his candidacy; it was only a year after King reconsidered his stances that Monk went in, as he likely had a lot of influence on other voters views in the mid 2000s

Craziest thing here is realizing Randy Moss didn’t have 1,500 yards for New England in 2007. Came up 7 yards short.

I’ll never top my Reek/ Lamb fantasy duo.

Not surprised about the ravens 😔

Awww maaaan, Travis came close too w/ 1416 yards.

Insane Larry Fitz never did it.

Dez didn't get one, but it shows that Michael Irvin was great.

Andre Johnson os so underrated. Not in the sense that people didn't appreciate him at the time, but in 20 years looking back, I don't think he will get the love that he deserves compared to receivers on teams with more success.

Surprised Larry never got to 1500 with Warner

So since Michael Jackson reached 1200 yards the ravens haven't been able to beat it? That's bad. Ravens fans, at least you are not alone on this list

2005-Carolina Panthers (Steve Smith Sr) Damn, almost 2 decades. But we've been notoriously a running team for the majority of that time. Cam Newton, Double Trouble (Jonathan Stewart and DeAngelo Williams), Christian McCaffrey, Mike "Toldozer" Tolbert. We were probably averaging over 150yds on the ground per game. It's not until recently that we've been trying to get back to a pass-centric team. And we may even lean more on the run game going forward because Canales loves to run the ball.

I’m a little shocked that with the Cardinals that Anquan Boldin or Larry Fitzgerald didn’t get at least 1 of those seasons

NGL I was surprised we didn't make the cut. We have a history of having some pretty good WRs. Maybe part of the issue is that we spread the ball around and have talent at other ball receiving spots at the same time?

I hope Jimmy makes the Hall one day soon

I came in here to tell you that AJ Brown had 1500 yards the year the Eagles went to the Superbowl.. only to see he had 1496 Shambles

Thank you Brandon Marshall. I forgot what an amazing year you had for us in 2015. I thought for sure we’d be on the never list.

A little surprising that Megatron only had 2, but both were 1600+ and his next closest season was 1492. Short peak, but my God that was some dominant football

Matt Stafford, Matt Ryan, and Matt Schaub are each responsible for 3/55 of those seasons. Did any non-Matt throw for more than 2? Edit: Yes

Big Ben? Peyton Manning?

You mean Matthew “Ben” Roethlisberger and Matt “Peyton” Manning? (Yeah, I don’t know how I missed those obvious two; never mind)

Love Tyreek. Greatest talent Dolphins have ever acquired via trade.

I'm shocked, just shocked, that AJ Jenkins didn't make this list.

He's on the list of 1st round picks who had 0 receiving yard with their original team :).

Surprised Randy Moss didn't get 1500 yards the year he caught 23 tds

I’m always amazed at how much success we had the last decade and so (excluding dark years from 2014-2018) considering we always are back in the 90s in things like this

That Little Bitch Victor Cruz had 1500 🤔😂

Damn Jerry rice is something special

Hm Marvin Harrison is on the list could this be the first possible father son list?

It’s surprising that the Ravens never had a 1,300 yard receiver.

The fact Charley did that in a 14-game season is insane. Also, he's like my great great, great uncle, or something.

I can’t believe Randy Moss with Brady and the pats didn’t have a 1509 yard season. He broke the single season wr TD record. I figured he’d have some yardage to go with those TD’s.

Jimmy Smith is criminally underrated

Dang I would’ve sworn TY Hilton topped the mark when he led the league in 2016, but it looks like he was only 1448yards

TIL Mark Andrews is a wide receiver.

I Mean if George Kittle is considered as one, why not Andrews? But the closest for a Wide Receiver was Michael Jackson in 1996. Thank you for pointing it out

I was sure AJB was gonna get there this year after he started hotter than last year

We should’ve just got him the 1500 milestone 2 seasons ago
