Kenny Golladay was excellent during the first four seasons of his career with the Detroit Lions. He eclipsed 65 receptions and 1,000 receiving yards in two of the four years during the regular season, including each season in which he appeared in more than five games.

Golladay switched teams during the 2021 NFL offseason and was rewarded with a massive four-year contract worth $72 million from the New York Giants. He was a complete bust in his first season with the Giants, recording just 37 receptions for 521 yards and failing to score a single touchdown in the regular season. He will be looking to bounce back strong in the 2022 NFL season and live up to his contract.

#4 Jarvis Landry

Jarvis Landry was one of the most consistent wide receivers in the NFL prior to the 2021 season. In each of his first seven seasons in the NFL, he eclipsed 70 receptions and 750 receiving yards, but failed to do so during the 2021 regular season. He also posted just two receiving touchdowns, the lowest during any season of his career so far.

Jarvis Landry departed from the Cleveland Browns and signed with the New Orleans Saints during the 2022 NFL free agency period. He is on a "prove it" type of contract with his hometown team, worth just three million dollars for one season.

#5 Corey Davis

Corey Davis had a breakout year with the Tennessee Titans during the 2020 NFL regular season, setting new career highs by recording 65 receptions for 984 yards and five touchdowns. His production earned him a solid deal with the New York Jets in free agency that year worth $37.5 million over three seasons.

He only appeared in nine games and recorded a disappointing 34 receptions for 492 yards in the regular season. His averages were significantly lower than the year before, as he only appeared in 12 games during his breakout season. Davis will be looking for better results in his second year in the new offensive system.
