Mike Williams' combination of size and skill set make him a massive weapon in the red zone and an attractive target in free agency. He recorded nine touchdowns in the 2021 season while also contributing 1,146 receiving yards. He also demonstrated an ability to make big plays, averaging more than 15 yards per reception.

#4 - Odell Beckham Jr.

Odell Beckham Jr. revived his career when he changed teams from the Cleveland Browns to the Los Angeles Rams during the 2021 NFL season. After failing to record a touchdown in six games with the Browns to start the season, he turned in five touchdowns in eight regular-season games with the Rams. Beckham chipped in with two more touchdowns in the postseason, helping the Rams win Super Bowl LVI.

#5 - Allen Robinson II

Allen Robinson II had an extremely disappointing 2021 season, recording just 410 receiving yards and one touchdown. While that's less than an ideal output when pending free agency, Robinson has proven that he can be a difference maker. He racked up an impressive 200 receptions for 2,397 yards and 13 touchdowns across the two seasons prior to the 2021 NFL season.
