**James Koh** (0:01)
We've got our Taycan is loaded and ready.

**Matt Harmon** (0:03)
Absolutely dominant on deep routes, absolutely dominant on short routes.

**James Koh** (0:07)
The boys are backbanging.

**Matt Harmon** (0:08)
Excellent separation against ManCover. This is Reception Perception The Show.

**James Koh** (0:14)
Yo, what's cracking everybody? James Koh, Matt Harmon here with you. You're listening to Reception Perception The Show. Today, we are going and starting our division by division wide receiver rankings. We're going to rank some of these wide receivers in the division, and we start in the AFC East. We're going to talk about who's going to be the most productive, a dark horse, wide receiver that could surprise in 2026, and maybe just overall best real life wide receiver.
Matt, we'll start with you, Matt. Well, first of all, how are you doing, pal?

**Matt Harmon** (0:50)
I'm good. I said this to you that it's a rough start to AFC East, honestly, because I think you could make an argument that this is the weakest wide receiver division, especially the depth of some of these rooms. Now, obviously, that's because Miami is in the mix here.
Now, are we just trying to rank just the number one, like for all these teams? Because my question to you actually would be, how many wide receiver twos on some of these other teams would we rank before we got to a Miami Dolphin? That's what I think is an interesting conversation, but we'll get into it.

**James Koh** (1:30)
Sure. I mean, hey, listen, you know what? As a matter of fact, just for the AFC East, I do think it'd be a fun exercise just to rank the receivers in general.

**Matt Harmon** (1:37)
Yeah.

**James Koh** (1:38)
And again, it's the Jets, it's the Bills, it's the Patriots, and it's the Dolphins. Right now, the Dolphins de facto, maybe possibly from training camp reports, it's Jaylen Tolbert. Maybe down the road, it'll be Chris Bell. I don't know.

**Matt Harmon** (1:51)
I mean, it's just Miami's not going to be Jaylen Tolbert. Okay. Like it's not going to be Jaylen Tolbert. It's not going to be Tutu Atwell.
The names, you know, whatever. It's no, it won't be one of those guys. I think it will be one of the interesting younger players, whether it's Malik Washington in his third season, or one of the rookies. Obviously, Chris Bell was placed on the NFI list, which because he's coming off the torn ACL in college. Caleb Douglas, another third rounder for them. I think it will probably, I mean, shoot, I guess it will end up being one of those guys. If it's Jaylen Tolbert, man, that stinks. And I think Tolbert, I don't even know how to say, like you could do worse, I guess, like then Jaylen Tolbert on an NFL roster, but him being your, would you even call him, would you even call him the most pedigreed receiver on the team?

**James Koh** (2:42)
I mean, I guess you have to, right? Like who else is there?

**Matt Harmon** (2:46)
I've had some cool catches every now and again. I don't know. I'm struggling here. I'm struggling here on the Dolphins.

**James Koh** (2:54)
I mean, Tutu Atwell is a Super Bowl champion. So I guess maybe Tutu Atwell.

**Matt Harmon** (2:58)
Oh my God. I guess. Yeah. If we're going to call Jahan Dotson, Super Bowl champion, Jahan Dotson, do we have to say that about Tutu Atwell?

**James Koh** (3:07)
If we're talking about the best of the best in this division, I think most people would say, and you could just tell me if you disagree here. Garrett Wilson, DJ Moore, AJ Brown. Wilson obviously with the Jets, DJ Moore with the Bills, and AJ Brown with the Patriots. I think it's a very clear cut to me anyways.
Top three in this division. As you mentioned, the Water Super 2s on a lot of these different teams, it's pretty tough, man. But again, if we're ranking those three, who's number one, two, three, and who ends up being the most productive? Those two conversations are a little bit different.

**Matt Harmon** (3:42)
Yeah, and I think the wild card here is DJ Moore because I just, you know, I've been starting to do more season preview content, you know, starting to guest on podcasts and stuff. And I've started to get, you know, some DJ Moore questions. And I just like don't, I don't really know how I feel about DJ Moore in this Bill's Offense, especially from, honestly, both from a production standpoint and a real life standpoint. I get why they acquired him. I think he is still a useful player. He obviously has familiarity with Joe Brady, the play caller now and head coach for the Buffalo Bills. But it was a desperate need. But essentially what they're doing is just saying like, hey, we insert DJ Moore here, we go to work, all our problems are solved. Because the only other major addition, quote unquote major addition they made in the room is Skyler Bell. And I think Skyler Bell went in the right range for his skill set. He was to me a day three receiver that I think in time could be a speed Z option. Could even open the season as the wide receiver three, if he has a better training camp than Keon Coleman or Josh Palmer, which is like to me a low bar to clear. I think he could be the third receiver to open the season, which I think would be a big win for Skyler Bell. Skill set probably fits the offense too. But again, my point in saying all that is essentially, like DJ Moore is the main acquisition here, and I just really don't know where I'm at with DJ Moore at this point in his NFL career. He's been in the league since 2018
