Around 50 receivers have already posted 100 or more receiving yards through Week 1 of the College Football season.

Here are ten wide receivers to watch for similar explosive performances in Week 2.
10 best wide receivers to watch in Week 2 of College Football
10. Tai Felton, Maryland
A solid returning receiver for the Maryland Terrapins, Felton opened 2024 with seven catches for 178 yards and two touchdowns. Mike Locksley's offense will see plenty of passing, and Felton could be a chief beneficiary.
9. Jeremiah Smith, Ohio State
In his college debut, true freshman Smith was OSU's top receiving threat. He recorded six grabs for 92 yards and two touchdowns.
8. Travis Hunter, Colorado
Seven catches for 132 yards and a career-best three TDs? A solid Week 1 for the playmaker on one of the most explosive offenses in the nation. Look for similar production in Week 2.
7. Kevin Concepcion, NC State
The Wolfpack will need to be firing on all cylinders to compete with Tennessee. Concepcion finished Week 1 with nine catches for 121 yards and three touchdowns.
6. Ryan Williams, Alabama
A freshman who caught only two passes, Williams made them count with 139 yards and two touchdowns. That's maximizing opportunities.
5. Jamaal Pritchett, South Alabama
South Alabama's passing game is usually strong, and this year is no exception. Pritchett opened 2024 with 10 catches for 197 yards. He's only 5-foot-8, but the Jaguars will continue to give him extensive playtime.
4. Damon Ward, North Texas
The "Mean Green" is known for its passing game. Last year, Ja'Mori Maclin had 1,004 yards on 57 receptions before moving to Kentucky. This year, Damon Ward started 2024 with 12 catches for 230 yards and two touchdowns. Expect more big games from him.
3. Tre Harris, Ole Miss
A standout from last season, Harris will benefit greatly from a big year by quarterback Jaxson Dart. In Week 1, he racked up 179 yards and two touchdowns on eight receptions. This kind of play could become routine for him in 2024.
2. Jimmy Horn Jr., Colorado
Last season, Horn caught 58 passes but gained just 567 yards. This is not a problem in 2024. He started the season with 198 yards and a touchdown on seven catches.
1. Tetaiora McMillan, Arizona
Expected to be one of the nation's top receivers this season, McMillan has already lived up to that hype. In Week 1, he caught 10 passes for 304 yards and four touchdowns. Teaming McMillan with QB Noah Fifita will possibly produce incredible results all season long.
