The Notinhalloffame Pro Football Hall of Fame Monitor has been revised: Wide Receivers Edition
The 2026 NFL season is here, and we have updated our Pre-Season Football Monitor.
As we have expanded our projects, we can’t say we've expanded the team behind the scenes! As a result, we are a little behind on this one, and we could only post the top 50 of the Pre-Season Monitor at this time.
We will add more during the season (and yes, we know that defeats the purpose of pre-season), but thank you for your patience.
We have unveiled the Quarterbacks, Running Backs, and now Wide Receivers, of which there are nine.
They are:
#1 WR, #18 Overall: Mike Evans, San Francisco 49ers. #13 Overall Last Year.
#2 WR, #21 Overall: Davante Adams, Los Angeles Rams, #23 Overall Last Year.
#3 WR, #25 Overall: Tyreek Hill, Free Agent, #18 Overall Last Year.
#4 WR, #27 Overall: DeAndre Hopkins, Free Agent, #24 Overall Last Year.
#5 WR, #40 Overall: Justin Jefferson, Minnesota Vikings, #37 Overall Last Year
#6 WR, #42 Overall: Ja’Marr Chase, Cincinnati Bengals, #56 Overall Last Year
#7 WR, #43 Overall: Stefon Diggs, Washington Commanders, #41 Overall Last Year
#8 WR, #49 Overall: Keenan Allen, Indianapolis Colts, #46 Overall Last Year
#9 WR. #50 Overall: A.J. Brown, New England Patriots, #49 Overall Last Year
Look for more information on this project shortly.
#50 Overall, A.J. Brown, New England Patriots, #9 Wide Receiver
2025 Pre-Season Rank #49, 2024 Pre-Season Rank #76, #2023 Pre-Season Rank #106, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #142, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #141. Peak Period: 2020-24
The fanbase of the Tennessee Titans is still shaking its head at the trade of A.J. Brown to the Philadelphia Eagles.
A Pro Bowl Selection in 2020, Brown was traded to Philadelphia, and the Eagles made the right bet: in his first three years in the City of Brotherly Love, he was named a Second Team All-Pro. The primary air weapon of Jalen Hurts, Brown had back-to-back 1,400-yard seasons in 2022 and 2023, and in 2024, he was a massive part of the Eagles' Super Bowl win. That is where Brown's Philadelphia story ended, as he begins the season with the New England Patriots and should be able to get his fifth consecutive 1,000-yard season.
As he is still in his prime, and should the Patriots return to the Super Bowl, Brown should see his Hall of Fame stock improve.
