WR power rankings for Conference Championships

All four teams competing in the Conference Championship round of the NFL Playoffs are strong at the wide receiver position. They have complemented their elite quarterbacks and have played a major role in their teams' success this season.

Of all of the wide receivers remaining, Terry McLaurin has stood out above the rest for his performances during the NFL Playoffs so far. He has already totaled 11 receptions on 16 targets for 176 yards and two touchdowns in two victories for the Washington Commanders. He has been the primary target in their offense and has heavily contributed to their success.

His teammate Dyami Brown has broken out at the right time to give the Commanders another weapon in their passing game. He has set season-highs in receptions and yards in both of their NFL Playoff games and could be a major factor if they have any chance of upsetting the Philadelphia Eagles in the Conference Championship game.

Xavier Worthy will be another wide receiver to keep an eye on this week as he has clearly been the top wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs in recent weeks. He has recorded at least five receptions in each of his past six games and turned in a solid performance in his first game against the Buffalo Bills this year.

He totaled four receptions for 61 yards and a touchdown in that contest, so he may be one of the keys in their rematch this week.

In the Chiefs' victory in the Divisional round last week, Worthy was the only wide receiver to even record a reception, and he turned in five of them. This demonstrates his current role in their passing attack as the rest of their completions went to either tight ends or running backs.

All of these wide receivers will likely need to turn in another strong performance if their teams are going to advance to the Super Bowl. Here's where they all currently stand in the NFL power rankings for the position this week entering the Conference Championship round.
