16. Washington Football Team

The Washington Football Team has leaned heavily on Terry McLaurin over the past two seasons and has 2,037 yards and 11 touchdowns. He hasn’t had a lot of help but that should change in 2021 since they added Curtis Samuel and Dyami Brown.

Samuel recorded 851 yards for Carolina last season and could be a solid slot receiver for them. As for Brown, he was an underrated player in the draft who can end up being a deep threat in the NFL.

Once he fully develops, this trio could be even higher but as of now, they’re a young team on the rise.

15. San Francisco 49ers

For the past few years, the San Francisco 49ers have been trying to improve their wide receivers corps and they have been able to bring in a few playmakers. Deebo Samuel is the best of the bunch but he’s struggled with health. He played in only seven games last season but if he’s healthy in 2021, he can probably put up some big plays like he did in 2019 when he helped them get to the Super Bowl.

There’s also Brandon Aiyuk who had 784 yards and five touchdowns as a rookie. He could continue to develop and become a force — and having Trey Lance could help that. There’s still a need for more help as their top pass-catcher is still their tight end, George Kittle. He’s an elite player but he could use some help as well.
