Experience is crucial in the NFL and never more than in the playoffs. The veterans will help guide the younger ones through processes and moments that can make the difference between victory and defeat. Quarterbacks will look to their receivers to help make the difference in this weekend’s Divisional Round games, but which players who still have a chance of winning a Super Bowl have the most receiving yards in the postseason? from the NFL? Here, we take a quick look at the players remaining in the postseason who have the most receiving yards in playoff games.
Players still in the 2022/23 playoffs with the most career playoff receiving yards
1. Travis Kelce (KC Chiefs) – 1,291 receiving yards
Travis Kelce leads all active players in receiving yards in the playoffs with 1,291. Kelce also leads all active players in total touchdowns with 12.
Having appeared in 15 playoff games, Kelce is highly experienced and has been the favorite target of Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes in big moments.
Averaging over 86 yards per game, the Chiefs will look to Kelce to lead the way when they take on the Jaguars on Saturday.
2. TY Hilton (Dallas Cowboys) – 804 receiving yards
TY Hilton ranks fifth overall among active players in receiving yards in the playoffs, but those above him won’t get a chance to add to their tally again this postseason. Tyreek Hill (1,150), Julio Jones (970) and Davante Adams (910) are all ahead of Hilton, but he will look to close the gap on the big names ahead of him in the Divisional Round.
Hilton signed with the Cowboys in early December and brings some additional experience to the receiving room after appearing in ten previous playoff games.
Late in his career, Hilton is more of a role player than he was when he was racking up yards for the Indianapolis Colts, but he can still stretch the field for QB Dak Prescott.
He’ll look to do just that when the Cowboys take on the 49ers on Sunday.
3. Stefon Diggs (Buffalo Bills) – 801 receiving yards
Stefon Diggs has appeared in 11 career playoff games. He played in five in his time with the Minnesota Vikings and now appeared in six for the Buffalo Bills.
In his tenure with the Bills, Diggs has three 100-yard games in the postseason. He is Josh Allen’s go-to guy and is averaging 82.0 receiving yards per game in the playoffs in his time in Buffalo.
The Bills will take on the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday, where Diggs will look to come back in style once again.
