NFL WR rankings: The top 6 WRs in the NFC West in 2025

We continue to look at the players and position groups of the NFC West. We rank the top 6 receivers in the division. As we lead up to the start of training camp for the Arizona Cardinals, we take a look at the players and position groups in the NFC West, ranking them. We have looked at the quarterbacks and running backs so far. The division has many quality wide receivers. Between the Arizona Cardinals, Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks, there is high-end talent. Below we rank the top six receivers in the NFC West. See who is at the top and how many Cardinals players make the cut. Some players didn't make the cut. San Francisco's Jauan Jennings, who almost reached 1,000 yards in 2024 didn't quite make it. Neither did new Seahawks receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling or Arizona's Michael Wilson. 1. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Seahawks Smith-Njigba broke out in 2024 with 100 receptions for 1,130 yards and six touchdowns. His play allowed for Seattle to cut Tyler Lockett and trade DK Metcalf. He had the best season of all the NFC West receivers and stayed healthy. 2. Davante Adams, Rams Adams over Puka Nacua? Adams missed three games and played between two teams and still had a great season, catching 85 passes for 1,063 yards and eight touchdowns. While Nacua is a guy to move around and create opportunities for him, Adams is a true 'X' receiver, a guy who can be counted on to just win one-on-one battles. Pairing him with Matthew Stafford? That will be exciting. 3. Puka Nacua, Rams After his record-breaking rookie season in 2023, he missed six games last season and finished with 79 catches for 990 yards and three touchdowns. With Cooper Kupp now no longer with the team, Nacua can fill the role he played, while Adams plays outside. 4. Brandon Aiyuk, 49ers He is coming back from a major knee injury, but he is another true alpha receiver on the outside. He had 75 receptions for 1,342 yards in 2023. If healthy in 2025, he gives the 49ers a major threat. 5. Marvin Harrison Jr., Cardinals Harrison's rookie season was not as good as most expected, but it was still solid with 62 catches for 885 yards and eight scores. Everyone expects a big jump in 2025. If he approaches his ceiling, what Adams and Aiyuk have done in their careers is a real possibility. 6. Cooper Kupp, Seahawks Kupp, now on the Seahawks following his release from the Rams, has seen his production decline for three straight years after his 2021 season when he was the Offensive Player of the Year and won the receiving triple crown, leading the NFL in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns. He has missed at least five games for three straight years. In 12 games last year, he had 67 receptions, 710 yards and six scores. His career and production when healthy put him ahead of the guys that missed the cut.

Jennifer Aniston Reportedly Hard Launches Relationship With Ex-Husband's Lookalike

"Is dating again?" has become the number one question on fans' minds thanks to her recent outing with a handsome silver fox. The sensational actress sparked speculation about her relationship with Jim Curtis, a hypnotherapist, life coach, and love specialist. The duo enjoyed what appeared to be a romantic getaway after years of reported social media interactions. Jennifer Aniston's rumored romance with Jim Curtis has turned heads for several reasons, coming seven years after her highly publicized separation from her ex-husband, Justin Theroux. Some even see the actress' rumored new beau as a lookalike for her former flames. According to new reports, Aniston spent the Fourth of July weekend with Curtis in Spain's Mallorca. The "Friends" star appeared happy and relaxed on the trip with her rumored boyfriend, even introducing him to her friends, including Jason Bateman and his wife, Amanda Anka. Aniston and Curtis joined the celebrity couple for a yacht party, seemingly launching their status as a couple. Fans suspected the TV personality had been dropping hints about her romantic relationship with the motivational coach months before their trip to Spain. In April, Aniston revealed she had undergone hypnotic treatment to overcome her fear of flying, presumably under her hypnotherapist beau. A month later, she told fans that she was reading Curtis's book, "Shift: Quantum Manifestation Guide: A Workbook for Coding a New Consciousness," according to RadarOnline. Although their relationship made headlines this year, Aniston's ties to Curtis date back to 2023, as evident on his social media platform. The actress has been an active follower of the hypnotherapist's Instagram page for almost two years. Aniston frequently likes Curtis' social media content, especially posts about overcoming breakups and moving on. Fans saw their online interactions as a sign of something more, with some reportedly dubbing the love guru the "gray-haired, silver fox version" of the actress's ex-husband. Curtis has over 500k followers on Instagram, with his bio describing him as a coach whose goal is to help people heal and thrive. He shares motivational posts, quotes, and affirmations, with his last update inspiring fans to manifest the life they want for themselves. Theroux, the man some saw as Aniston's rumored beau's silver fox lookalike, has maintained a years-long friendship with his ex-wife despite their divorce. The once-famous couple first met in 2007 on the set of "Tropic Thunder." They were introduced by their mutual pal, Ben Stiller, who co-wrote the movie with Theroux. Aniston and the actor reconnected three years later, in the Fall of 2010, while shooting "Wanderlust." Although they sparked dating rumors, they did not confirm their relationship until 2011. Theroux popped the big question in August 2012, and the pair stayed engaged for nearly three years before tying the knot in a backyard ceremony in August 2015. Aniston and Theroux appeared to have a blissful married life until they shockingly announced their separation in early 2018, per PEOPLE. Early this month, The Blast reported that Aniston would face one of the most emotionally challenging roles of her career. She has been selected to play the late Debra McCurdy, the controversial mother of actress Jennette McCurdy, who passed away in 2013. The former "iCarly" actress detailed her traumatizing relationship with her mother in the memoir, "I'm Glad My Mom Died." Aniston shall cover this emotional portrayal of Debra in an upcoming Apple TV+ adaptation of the book, which strikes close to home for the entertainer. Aniston has been vocal about her complicated relationship with her late mom, Nancy Dow, with a source noting she resonated with Jennette's struggles. "This is a very poignant role for Jen to say the very least. She loved Jennette's story and is very passionate about bringing it to life," the insider shared. Besides being passionate about covering the story of children with difficult mothers, The Blast noted Aniston hoped to bring her talents to Broadway. The celebrated actress revealed her desire to perform on stage during an interview, saying: "I definitely want to do a Broadway play. That's on my bucket list, but it's finding the time and finding the right piece, the right material." Aniston's enthusiasm for starring on Broadway may stem from her prestigious acting background. She was born to actors Nancy Dow and John Aniston and raised in the entertainment business. Her acting debut was in the 1993 cult horror-comedy "Leprechaun." However, she gained international recognition as Rachel Green in the beloved sitcom "Friends." Will Jennifer Aniston address the viral speculations about her relationship with Jim Curtis?
