Top 10 Returning Wide Receivers in the FCS in 2018

ROCKLEDGE, Florida -- The 2018 season is rich in quarterbacks across FCS college football. It's only natural the wide receiver class is highly talented as well.

Last year's top three in the FCS in receiving yards - Sam Houston State's Nathan Stewart, UC Davis' Keelan Doss and New Hampshire's Neil O'Connor - are back and part of 12 returning 1,000-yard receivers set to chase the mark again.

Here is a countdown of the 10 best wide receivers in the FCS:

10. (Tie) Elijah Bell, North Carolina A&T, Jr., 6-1, 221
He's a difference-maker who consistently breaks tackles to reach the second level of a defense. He followed up 2016 MEAC rookie of the year honors with an even bigger sophomore campaign, catching 64 passes for 953 yards and 11 touchdowns.

10. (Tie) Dejon Brissett, Richmond, Sr., 6-2, 190
An ability to win 50-50 balls led to Brissett breaking out as an All-CAA wide receiver in 2017. After opening with a 172-yard outing against Sam Houston State, Brissett grabbed 63 receptions for 896 yards and seven touchdowns on the season while combining with big-play teammate Cortrelle Simpson to headline the fourth-ranked passing attack (341.0 ypg) in the FCS.
