Everybody knows that to contend for a Lombardi Trophy in Madden NFL 22, you need to have an elite wide receiver. As somebody who is quick-footed, athletic and can catch anything thrown their way. The issue is that simply judging a player based on their physical attributes generally doesn’t show the whole picture.
For example, Stefon Diggs is just 6’0” tall and 190 pounds, but is widely regarded as one of the best all-around pass-catchers in football. While D.K. Metcalf is nearly 6’5” and 235 pounds, but is also considered one of the best in his position. Simply put, there are many factors to consider when it comes to judging an NFL wide receiver.
So, to help you get started, we’ve put together a tier list ranking all of the best wide receivers in Madden NFL 22.
