He has the second fewest interceptions thrown (2) behind Mr. Brady. He has also rushed for multiple touchdowns (2). He has put his name into the MVP consideration, and is the unwavering reason why his team is undefeated.

The best wide receiver through the first 6 games of the season has been standout Deandre Hopkins of the Houston Texans. Hopkins is currently second in receptions in the NFL (58), ranks first in reception yards (776), and second in touchdowns caught (5). His team has had a bad start to the season because they have had many concerns at the quarterback position. Although of the QB situations, Hopkins has still been able to perform at an elite level.

The play of wide receiver Julio Jones has made the Atlanta Falcons erupt to a 5-1 record. They are only one win away from matching last years wins total. Right now he is the second ranked receiver behind Deandre Hopkins. Jones is ranked second in every major category for a wide receiver.
