As we lead up to the start of training camp for the Arizona Cardinals, we take a look at the players and position groups on the Cardinals, Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks, ranking them in the NFC West.
We have already looked at quarterbacks, running backs and individual receivers, but how do the four teams stack up against one another in terms of wide receiver units?

1. LA Rams: Davante Adams, Puka Nacua, Tutu Atwell
Adams and Nacua are the second- and third-ranked receivers in the division for this coming season. Atwell, though overall unproven, when playing the role of the No. 3 wideout for the Rams, has had big games.
2. Seattle Seahawks: Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp, Marquez Valdes-Scantling
We know how good Kupp has been, but his production has declined each year since 2021 and he has missed at least five games in three straight year. Smith-Njigba had 100 catches last season and enters the season as the division’s bet, and Valdes-Scantling is just a guy, never catching more than 42 passes.

3. San Francisco 49ers: Brandon Aiyuk, Jauan Jennings, Ricky Pearsall
Aiyuk is fantastic but his health in 2025 will be key after he tore his ACL and MCL after only seven games. Jennings had nearly 1,000 yards and Pearsall showed promise as a rookie after returning from being shot.
4. Arizona Cardinals: Marvin Harrison Jr., Michael Wilson, Zay Jones
Harrison had a solid but not spectacular rookie season, although he is expected to be great in 2025. But Wilson has not cracked 600 yards in a season yet and Jones only had eight receptions last season.
