Best mid-season wide receivers in Madden 22

The first eight weeks of the NFL season have been full of excitement and upsets with some unsuspected contenders emerging from the shadows. The offensive firepower has been on full display and Madden 22 is keeping with all of the action via weekly releases.

Pre-season top-10 rankings are always a hot topic ahead of the season kickoff, and now EA Sports want to replicate that action with a mid-season re-rank. We already have the lists for Quarterbacks and Running Backs, but now it's time for the game-breakers.

Here are the Madden 22 mid-season top 10 ratings for Wide Receivers highlighting some of the best route-runners in the NFL.

Mid-Season Top 10 Wide Receivers - Madden 22 ratings

The NFL is more geared towards passing today than ever before in league history. A combination of offensive efficiency and rules changes have made it increasingly harder for defensive backs to stop Wide Receivers.

No one takes advantage of that better than Davante Adams and DeAndre Hopkins, a clear 1A and 1B in terms of top talents on the outside. They've been true alpha Wide Receivers this year, and their mid-season Madden 22 rankings certainly reflect that.

Speaking to the top talent of NFL wideouts in today's league, the last place of the mid-season top 10 (DK Metcalf) is still a 90 OVR. Proven veterans like Mike Evans and Keenan Allen take their usual spots in the top ten. And Cooper Kupp makes a jump up to number seven as he leads the league in multiple receiving stats.
