The Cincinnati Bengals drafted Mohammed Sanu in the 2012 NFL Draft hoping that he could materialize as a long-term option alongside All-Pro A.J. Green. Well as fate would have it, Sanu has been put on the back-burner and Marvin Jones is forming into a Cincy mainstay. Jones is tied for team lead in touchdowns with eight as he and Green have emerged as the best WR duo in the AFC South.
Many Arizona Cardinals fans wondered if the Redbirds would ever replace Anquan Boldin as the perfect right-hand man to Larry Fitzgerald. Well, it looks like the starved Arizona faithful finally have Boldin's replacement -- Michael Floyd. The former Notre Dame Fighting Irish standout already has 886 receiving yards, and has doubled his 2012 total of touchdowns.
DeSean Jackson and Riley Cooper are definitely the odd couple on this list. After a brutally idiotic move in the preseason, Cooper has put that incident behind him and is currently leading the Eagles in big plays with nearly 20 yards per catch in 2013. Some may knock this Eagles' combination, yet it's clear to see that both of these wide receivers can explode at any time.
Peyton Manning has absolutely exploded in 2013 and in the process a few Broncos' wide receivers have caught a lot of touchdowns. At first, I wanted to put Eric Decker in this duo with the speedy Demaryius Thomas, but Wes Welker and Thomas both combined to be Denver's true 1-2 punch.
This was a no-brainer. Alshon Jeffery and Brandon Marshall are both All-Pro wide receivers as this dynamic duo leads the NFL in receiving yards between two players with 2,283 yards receiving combined. Jeffery's emergence has surprised most NFL fans, while Marshall's seventh straight 1,000 yard season just shows his consistency. The Jeffery-Marshall combination has kept the Chicago Bears above water despite a historically awful defense and two different quarterbacks. For that, No. 15 and No. 17 both deserve the top spot.
