The 2019 wide receiver class is one of the most impressive of all-time and through the first eight games of their rookie season, the leader among them in catches and targets was ... Preston Williams of the Miami Dolphins.
Williams had 32 catches on 60 targets for 428 yards, second-most among rookies behind the 458 by Terry McLaurin of the Washington Wedontcallthemthatanymores. DK Metcalf of the Seattle Seahawks was third at 402 yards.
Through their team’s first eight games this season, Metcalf and McLaurin continue to dominate and they’ve taken their successes to another level with another year of experience: Metcalf has 788 yards and eight touchdowns through eight games, McLaurin has 692 and a class-leading 50 receptions despite playing with Dwayne Haskins, Kyle Allen and Alex Smith, who at one point seemed less likely to make a comeback than the tight end Alex Smith who retired in 2015.
