Predicting the NFL Receiving Yards Leaders for 2025

Below, bettors can find NFL odds for all pass catchers to lead the NFL in receiving yards. 

Last year, JaMarr Chase led the NFL in receiving yards with 1,708 yards. Based on that performance, Chase enters 2025 as the favorite with current odds of . 

Oddsmakers list two other players at +750 or shorter for this market.

Who is Predicted to Lead the NFL in Receiving Yards? 

NFL Receiving Yards Leader: Predictions

CeeDee Lamb (+1000) to Lead the NFL in Receiving Yards

Dak Prescott played only eight games last year. Take a guess where Lamb finished in this market. 

Did you still have him as a top-eight wide receiver in this market? 

Over the last three years, Lamb finished sixth, second and eighth in the receiving yards race. In 2023 alone, Lamb amassed 1,749 yards with PFF rating him as the third-best wide receiver. 

He also finished second in yards after catch during that campaign. 

Last year, Chase earned this crown by racking up YAC – the gap between Chase and second was as big as the gap between second and 16th! 

As noted in my passing yards leader predictions, I expect the Cowboys to deploy a pass-heavy approach this season. 

Even with George Pickens arriving, Lamb should still dominate from a target-share standpoint. 

Three of the last four winners of this award cleared 170 targets for the year. All four generated at least 165 targets. 

One other stat worth noting: each of the last four winners of this market previously finished fourth or better in a previous season. 

Given those factors, I like the price on Lamb to rack up the most receiving yards. 

Malik Nabers (+1200) to lead the NFL in Receiving Yards

A second choice for this market came down to Nabers or Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua. 

Ultimately, Matthew Stafford’s injury concerns led me to Nabers. That said, Nacua fits the historical precedent noted earlier. 

Nabers technically doesn’t fit the second trend. However, he does fit the targets designation. 

Last year, the LSU product amassed 165 targets. Only Chase (171) earned more. This season, it’s difficult to see which Giant takes away from that target share. 

Nabers caught only 109 passes for just over 1,200 yards. The output placed him seventh in the receiving yards rankings. 

Unquestionably, the Giants improved at quarterback this offseason. Likely starter Russell Wilson offers an upgrade on Daniel Jones. 

Even if New York elects to play Jaxson Dart later in the year, who else is he targeting? 

Plus, lookahead lines project the Giants as underdogs 16 times this year. That likely leads to a negative game script and a heavy passing game. 

If that script materializes, Nabers likely contends for this award at a higher rate than these odds suggest.
