Eagles soar to top of NFL WR rankings as Jalen Hurts' arsenal earns league-wide praise

The Philadelphia Eagles are flying high—and it’s not just because of quarterback Jalen Hurts. Pro Football Focus recently crowned Philly with the best wide receiver room in the NFL, a title that reflects the explosive offensive firepower the team is bringing into the 2025 season.

With AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith leading the charge, the Eagles now boast one of the most complete and dangerous offensive units in football.

AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith headline elite WR corps

While Jalen Hurts has proven he can make plays with both his legs and arm, it’s his supporting cast that’s redefining matchups. AJ Brown continues to post elite numbers despite limited passing volume, while DeVonta Smith remains one of the league’s sharpest route-runners and most consistent secondary targets.

Add in newly acquired running back Saquon Barkley and tight end Dallas Goedert, and the Eagles have built a nightmare for defensive coordinators.According to PFF, no other wide receiver tandem is currently as productive and balanced. Even Cincinnati’s dynamic duo of Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins ranked behind Philly, as the Eagles’ offense offers greater versatility and depth. Goedert also ranks among the league's top-eight tight ends, thanks to his blocking efficiency and red-zone reliability.

Jahan Dotson’s potential adds new dimension

The wildcard in 2025 could be wideout Jahan Dotson, who arrived via trade from the Washington Commanders. If the former first-rounder taps into his potential, this group could emerge as one of the most intriguing WR trios in today’s NFL. With Barkley drawing defenders into the box, Dotson may find space to thrive in the slot or on the outside.Despite their reputation as a ground-first team, the Eagles’ air attack is ready to explode.

Brown’s elite efficiency in limited target share and Smith’s ability to dissect zone coverages make them nearly impossible to contain. With Hurts improving his deep-ball precision, Philadelphia’s offense is entering a new era of balance and unpredictability.Also read: NFL insider says Saquon Barkley may surpass his record-breaking 2024 season under new Eagles offensive coordinator in 2025As the 2025 season draws near, the Eagles aren't just NFC contenders—they’re a case study in modern roster-building.
