Ranking the 5 best wide receiver corps in the NFL entering 2020

4. Atlanta Falcons – Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley, Russell Gage

The Atlanta Falcons are searching for a competent No. 3 receiver entering the 2020 season, but they make our list anyways due to utter dominance of Julio Jones and his Alabama sidekick, Calvin Ridley.

Jones has been the model of consistency in the NFL for six years now. The All-Pro receiver has averaged nearly 1,600 yards per season since 2014 and has shown no signs of slowing down. He is still the active leader in receiving yards per game in NFL history, averaging over 96 yards per contest. The next closest player? Michael Thomas at 87.5

Ridley is starting to come into his own after having back-to-back 800-yard seasons to begin his career. Where Ridley has excelled for the Falcons is in the red zone, scoring 17 touchdowns in only 29 games. That touchdown rate probably isn’t sustainable, but it is encouraging to see that Matt Ryan trusts him in that area of the field.
