Highest receiving grade for WR through Sunday Zay Flowers 94.0 Jaxon Smith-Njigba 91.8 Antonio Via @PFF on X

What happened: PFF put the same Zay Flowers dominating yards-per-route-run metrics at 94.0, with Jaxon Smith-Njigba at 91.8 and Antonio Williams at 90.8. Parker Washington at 90.5 and Ladd McConkey at 90.0 completed the top five.

Why it matters: First-to-fifth gap is 4.0 points, so one week can flip the order. Smith-Njigba matching a No. 3 fantasy rank with a top-two grade keeps two early evaluations aligned.

By the numbers: Zay Flowers 94.0, Jaxon Smith-Njigba 91.8, Antonio Williams 90.8, Parker Washington 90.5, Ladd McConkey 90.0. All five hit 90.0 or better; 4.0 points separate first from fifth.

What to watch: Week 2 grading update shows whether Flowers holds the top spot.
