10. DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Houston Texans

Since entering the NFL in 2013, DeAndre Hopkins has inserted himself into the discussion as one of the best wideouts in the game. In his second season, he racked up 1,210 yards through the air. He followed that up with 1,521 yards in 2015 while becoming the first player in Texans’ history to record double-digit touchdowns.

What’s most impressive is he was accomplishing these feats with a revolving door at quarterback. In 2018 with DeShaun Watson playing an entire season, Hopkins had a career-high in receptions (115) and yards (1,572) while recording 11 touchdowns as well.

11. Julio Jones, WR, Atlanta Falcons

Another receiver in the discussion for best in the game comes in right after Hopkins as No. 11 of the Atlanta Falcons joins the list. Julio Jones came into the league with a lot of hype and Atlanta gave up a ton to move up and select him. So far, they have no regrets about that. Jones averages an insane 96.7 yards per contest and has already moved into second place in the club’s history for receiving yards — and will likely move into No. 1 by Week 2 of the 2019 season.

12. Tom Brady, QB, New England Patriots

No. 12 is about as easy as it gets. People may want to debate Aaron Rodgers vs. Tom Brady, but the fact is Brady has six Super Bowl rings and hasn’t been slowed down by his age at all. Despite being over 40, Brady keeps winning and his New England Patriots will probably be the favorites all season long again in 2019.
