White 1,000-Yard Receivers of the Past 20 Years

Bowers, McConkey, and McBride should be on this list many more times.

2025 should have those 3, Kupp if healthy, and Pearsall if they don’t bring Samuel back. I don’t see Pierce making it unless they bench Richardson.

I’d also say Thielen would have been a lock if he didn’t miss most of October and November this year.

If he is on the team again next year, he will make it again.

You think its possible Pierce gets traded? It would be incredible for his career

I think Pierce needs to have some balls and request a trade. Screw being a team player and get himself into a better situation.

Pierce has one year for his rookie contract, if Colts don't rate him high, a trade is possible and a win-win deal. Pierce is still raw but is a big play machine, so he fits QB with a quality arm, not QB with legs. Not too many choices for him

Imagine Pierce on the Bills? He would thrive with Allen’s big arm.

I like it. Bills is lacking of X receivers, Allen ran quite a lot during these past playoffs, and his best receiver was Gabe Davis, now Shakir, whoever stood on WR1 were all failed to deliver in clutch moments. Pierce can be that WR Bills want. Amari and Keon are WR1 for regular seasons, when rivals are Chiefs or Ravens they aren't clutch.

That would really be awesome. Allen throwing the long ball to Pierce. He might get 20 TDs.
 
This may not be the best thread for it but I'd like to acknowledge the 16 White WRs who saw minimal playing time in 2024. A good portion of them may not play again in the NFL given how the league treats most overachievers at this still mostly verboten position. Updated to include Luke McCaffrey, who's the only one who has a decent chance to join the thousand yard club eventually even though many of the others have the talent to be starters.

Luke McCaffrey: 18/168 (greatly underused and often flat-out ignored after starting the season as Washington's third receiver)
Ryan Miller: 12/128/2
Jake Bobo: 13/107/1
Ben Skowronek: 5/69
Scotty Miller: 5/69 (ironically had identical stats to his fellow overachiever on the Steelers, Skowronek)
River Cracraft: 7/66
Austin Trammell: 2/40
Dan Chisena: 3/37
Alex Bachman: 3/31 (all in one game, now a FA)
Trenton Irwin: 3/15 (Cincy phased out its two White WRs this season)
Trent Taylor: 1/11
Charlie Jones: 1/5 (also had some return yardage, his inability to stay healthy made it easy to turn him into a WSTD)
Braxton Berrios: 0/0, four targets (like Cincy, Miami phased out its two White WRs)
Alex Ericson: 0/0, some minimal return yardage
Cody Thompson: 0/0, 21 return yards
Tom Kennedy: 0/0, one target (the reigning king of being waived and moved back and forth from the practice squad)
 
All those guys are capable of so much more if given a legitimate opportunity.


I do not believe McCaffrey will get it in Washington. I would like to see he or Alex Pierce go to Buffalo. Allen needs a big play option and either of those two would deliver huge plays there.

Players I have tagged for potential 1k seasons in 2025 include Thielen, McConkey, Pierce, Kittle, and Bowers. We will have a couple more guys in the 800-900 yard range.

I would add McBride. He’s not a one hit wonder and Murray was basically given the reigns again for 2025. He uses his TE at a much higher rate than most because he checks down so much and can’t make a lot of downfield throws.
 
Jake Bobo, Ladd McConkey, Cooper Kupp, Adam Theilen, Ricky Pearsall, and Alec Pierce all listed as 2025 starting WRs on Ourlads currently.

Henry 551
Pierce 393
L McCaffrey 247
Bobo 195
Watson 179 (now with Houston)

I’m going to say Thielen hits 1k again. Just have a feeling. He was on track last year but missed several games. His play is aging very well.

Curious Pierce is so low… I think he breaks 1k this year.

I’d agree with the 500 for CMC although I see him with around 1200 rushing yards. Please to see nearly 700 yards prediction for Skattebo. Somehow, he is the rare white running back that has endeared himself to the media and make no mistake… that influences coaches decision to give playing time.

Luke McCaffrey needs out of Washington as Kuckberry will always hold a white receiver down (Isabella).

Right. Pierce coming off 824 yards and 7 TDs with awful QB play. The Colts also didn’t draft any WRs highly, unless they think TE Warren will sap his yards? It’s a stupid projection.

Right, that one is questionable. They have Pittman, Downs, and Mitchell ahead of him. Pierce is a free agent after this season, so it would help him to have another strong season.

If I’m not mistaken, Pierce also lead the league and average yards per catch. He is a preeminent deep threat receiver.

Were he black, he would be talked about as being a potential All-Star with more opportunities.
