The NFL continues to evolve into a league where explosive passing attacks dominate the headlines, and often, the standings.
Quarterbacks might be the face of a franchise, but without elite wide receivers, their impact can be limited. That’s why teams across the league are investing heavily in pass-catching talent.

NFL’s best WR tandems
This week, the Dallas Cowboys made a bold move to reinforce their aerial arsenal by acquiring George Pickens from the Pittsburgh Steelers.
What impact will George Pickens have on the Dallas Cowboys? | Speak
The trade, which cost them a future third-round pick, gives Dak Prescott a much-needed second option alongside All-Pro CeeDee Lamb.
It’s a high-upside gamble for Dallas, and it instantly raises questions about how the league’s top receiving duos stack up going into the 2025 season.
Here’s a look at the NFL’s top wide receiver pairings following the Cowboys’ addition of Pickens:
- Eagles: A.J. Brown & DeVonta Smith
Brown’s physical dominance and elite metrics when in single coverage, combined with Smith’s big-play ability and postseason production, put them at the top. Both have proven they can thrive in high-pressure moments.
- Rams: Davante Adams & Puka Nacua
Los Angeles didn’t hesitate after moving on from Cooper Kupp, trading for Adams to pair with breakout star Nacua. If Matthew Stafford stays healthy, this duo could both top 1,000 yards with ease.
- Bengals: Ja’Marr Chase & Tee Higgins
Burrow’s chemistry with both receivers is undeniable. Chase draws attention, and Higgins takes advantage-making them one of the most feared tandems in the AFC.
- Cowboys: CeeDee Lamb & George Pickens
Lamb’s consistency as a top-tier receiver is well established. If Pickens can deliver on his tantalizing potential, especially with Prescott healthy, this could be one of the most dangerous pairings in football.
- Lions: Amon-Ra St. Brown & Jameson Williams
Detroit wisely kept its core intact, and the trust in Williams paid off. His deep-threat ability complements St. Brown’s versatility underneath, giving Jared Goff multiple options.
- Dolphins: Tyreek Hill & Jaylen Waddle
This duo didn’t hit their usual benchmarks in 2024, but their speed and history of production keep them in the conversation. A bounce-back year could easily vault them up the list.

Felipe Melo indica time que provoca falsa esperança no Brasil

Na avaliação dele, o time de Cuca mais uma vez ficou devendo rendimento incisivo, dada a qualidade que ostenta em seu plantel, e tem provocado um efeito de ‘falsa esperança’ nesta primeira metade da temporada.

Eu sempre acho que o próximo jogo vai ser melhor, porque o time do Atlético-MG é muito bom, o treinador é muito bom, acho sempre que vai dar match“, opinou Felipe Melo. “Galo deu mole.

Mohamed Salah e Alessia Russo são eleitos jogador e jogadora da temporada no futebol inglês
Salah, que já coroado nas temporadas 2017/18 e 2021/22, iguala o recorde de Thierry Henry, três vezes escolhido Jogador do Ano em Inglaterra, quando atuava no Arsenal. Com 28 gols e 18 assistências na Premier League nesta temporada, o atacante foi um dos principais nomes do 20º título do Liverpool. O egípcio teve quase 90% dos votos, superando o seu companheiro Virgil van Dijk, o atacante Alexander Isak, do Newcastel, e o meia Declan Rice, do Arsenal. Aos 32 anos, Salah pôs fim às especulações sobre o seu futuro ao assinar um novo vínculo de dois anos, que o liga ao Liverpool até 2027.
