22. Randall Cobb – The only member from Kentucky on this list had 91 receptions, 1,287 yards, and 12 touchdowns in 2014 to make his first Pro Bowl. The Green Bay Packers star slipped a touch in 2015 when he was the No. 1 receiver with Jordy Nelson sidelined but look for him to revert to his 2014 form with a healthy Nelson back in the fold in 2016.

21. Amari Cooper – The Oakland Raiders made the former Alabama receiver the No. 4 pick in the 2015 NFL Draft and he turned in 72 receptions for 1,070 yards and six touchdowns to make the Pro Bowl. Look for him to approach 90 receptions, 1,400 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2016.

20. Jarvis Landry – Former LSU teammate of Odell Beckham is one of the best slot receivers in the NFL with 194 receptions and 1,915 yards in his firs two seasons. The arrow is point sky-high for the Miami Dolphins second round pick in 2014.

19. Mike Evans – The lone Texas A&M product on this list had 1,051 yards and 12 touchdowns as a rookie after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers took him with the No. 7 pick in the 2014 NFL Draft. He boosted his reception numbers to 74 and had 1,206 yards but his touchdown totals dropped to three. That’s more of a fluke than anything and I’d look for the 6-5 receiver to approach the double-digit mark again next year.

Next: No. 18-15
