The Wild Card round will kick off the 2024 NFL Playoffs this weekend with six games spread out across three days. Among the many players to keep an eye on during the postseason are the wide receivers. Many of the 14 teams remaining have elite options that can make a major impact on the outcomes of the games.

The list starts with Justin Jefferson who is coming off of another impressive season for the Minnesota Vikings. He ranked second in the NFL in receiving yards this year, trailing only the triple crown winner Ja'Marr Chase. He opens his playoff run with a favorable matchup against the Los Angeles Rams, so he could be in line for a massive performance.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will also be relying on a superstar wide receiver of their own in Mike Evans, who has been dominant during the final stretch of the regular season. He enters the Wild Card round having recorded at least five receptions in six of his past seven games and also turning in four multi-touchdown performances this year.

His opposition in the Wild Card round includes Terry McLaurin, who set a career-high with 13 touhdowns for the Washington Commanders this year. Seven of those have come across his past six games, so he has plenty of momentum entering the playoffs.
