NFL's top 10 QB-WR pairings
1) Drew Brees and Michael Thomas, New Orleans Saints: No receiver in NFL history has ever caught more passes in one season than Thomas' 149 in 2019. While we can logically expect Thomas' catch total to dip with Emmanuel Sanders now in the fold, Sanders should ultimately help make Thomas even more dangerous by giving Brees a second option with which to scare opposing defenses. Thomas has developed into a Larry Fitzgerald-esque presence -- and he's laying the groundwork for a path to the Hall of Fame.
2) Matt Ryan and Julio Jones, Atlanta Falcons: Don't overlook this pair coming off the Falcons' disappointing 2019. Atlanta is poised to become the first team in the common draft era to start 10 former first-round picks on offense, thanks to the acquisitions of running back Todd Gurley and tight end Hayden Hurst. Between their addition and the continued emergency of No. 2 receiver Calvin Ridley, Ryan and Jones should continue to perform at an all-world level as their prolific partnership -- Ryan is the only player in the NFL to top 4,000 passing yards in each of the nine seasons since Jones was drafted, and no one has more than Jones' 12,125 receiving yards in that span -- stretches into a 10th season.
3) Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins, Arizona Cardinals: I have a world of respect for Texans coach Bill O'Brien, and I will give him the benefit of the doubt for his decision to trade away one of the NFL's great receivers. Whatever you think of the move, though, Murray is a clear beneficiary. The dynamic young quarterback is ridiculously blessed to spend his second pro season throwing to one future Hall of Fame wideout (Larry Fitzgerald) and another (Hopkins) who is working his way squarely into the gold-jacket conversation.
