When people talk about the best wide receivers in the game, they often forget to mention the name of Green Bay Packers’ Pro Bowler Davante Adams. However, according to Adams, his name shouldn’t just be in the conversation, but should also be above everyone else’s.

Adams expressed his thoughts on Thursday night after torching San Francisco 49ers with 10 catches for 173 yards and a touchdown in a 34-17 blowout win.

“I think that’s fair to say,” said Adams when asked whether he is the best wideout in NFL. “I think that’s not being conceited. That’s just being confident. I think, obviously, what I’ve done and what I’m going to continue to do is going to prove that to anybody who isn’t on board with that.”

The monster game against the 49ers wasn’t the only one that backed up Adams’ claim about his stature in the game. For the 27-year-old player, this was the third game with at least 10 receptions, 150 yards, and one touchdown.

This makes Adams the only player in NFL history to have three such games in the first eight weeks of the season. Also, only Detroit Lions’ Calving Johnson managed to do this in a single season.

What’s especially impressive about Davante Adams’ feat is that he managed to do this while being on the field for just six games. He missed two weeks due to a hamstring injury but still has 53 receptions for 675 yards and eight TD.

This kind of production is setting Adams on pace to have a career year. His previous best outing was 2018 when he had 111 catches for 1,386 yards and 13 scores.

Arizona Cardinals have the best wide receiver in the league. At least, that’s what their newest acquisition DeAndre Hopkins claims.

Hopkins recently made an appearance on ESPN’s Jalen & Jacoby and decided to let the world know that he is the “best” player at the wideout position in football.

“I definitely think I’m the best,” said Hopkins. “I know I’m the best. Mike’s my boy. I love [Saints wide receiver] Michael [Thomas] … but he knows if I had Drew Brees my whole career what these numbers would be. [Falcons wide receiver] Julio Jones knows if I had Matt Ryan my whole career. That’s my boy. I trained with Julio, too. He knows what these numbers would be.”

Hopkins, who joined the Cardinals in a trade from Houston Texans in March, definitely has credentials to back up his statement. The 27-year-old WR earned four Pro Bowl appearances and three First-team All-Pro since entering the league in 2013 while failing to reach 1,100 yards just twice in his career.

Also, DeAndre Hopkins makes a good point that some other star wideouts in the league had better quarterbacks. Between 2013 and 2017, Hopkins played with 10 different quarterbacks, none of which were Pro Bowl-caliber signal-callers. Only when Texans installed Deshaun Watson as their starter did he have a genuine star QB to catch passes from.

Still, Hopkins doesn’t want people to think that he’s using that as an excuse. “Those guys are definitely blessed to be in a position where, their whole career, they had a Pro Bowl quarterback—quarterback that they spent multiple seasons with,” he added. “But I don’t complain. I don’t make excuses. I go out there and work.”
