But we all see things differently. And we are stuck with Zac for the foreseeable future.
We do have monstrous talent on the team but it is the NFL, and all NFL teams have such talent. We just see it as if they are greater since we also have an emotional attachment with the City and Players. Our Best Player some propose is Chase yet Chase is Ranked barely in the top 10 with 32 teams...
I do understand what you are saying over all we have a great talent but it is ultimately for the talent to produce on the field. I will say Zac failed last week with preparation or deciding to play Burrow if not ready.
1. TYREEK HILL, MIAMI DOLPHINS (2022 PFF GRADE: 92.1)
Tyreek Hill finished with the highest overall PFF grade among wide receivers despite being on a new team and playing with three different quarterbacks in 2022. Furthermore, he was by far the most efficient receiver in the NFL as he finished with 3.09 yards per route run, which was the highest of his career by a wide margin and also led the league.
2. AMON-RA ST. BROWN, DETROIT LIONS (90.7)
St. Brown had the ball going his way on 28.4 percent of his receiving snaps, which ranked the third most among wide receivers. The fact that his 6.5-yard average depth of targets was 83rd out of 90 wide receivers with at least 50 targets is telling.
3. JUSTIN JEFFERSON, MINNESOTA VIKINGS (90.2)
After finishing with the most receptions and most receiving yards in the NFL, Jefferson also won the NFL's Offensive Player of the Year award in 2022. He accumulated 47 receptions that went for 15-plus yards, which was the third most in the NFL. His play was key for the Vikings, as Minnesota went 9-1 in games when Jefferson had at least 100 receiving yards.
4. DAVANTE ADAMS, LAS VEGAS RAIDERS (90.1)
In his first year in Las Vegas, Adams led all wide receivers with 14 receiving touchdowns in 2022. He also averaged 15.0 yards per reception, which was the highest of his illustrious career by a wide margin.
5. STEFON DIGGS, BUFFALO BILLS (89.1)
Diggs recorded 72 receptions that went for a first down or a touchdown in 2022, which was the third most among wide receivers in the NFL. In addition, he lined up in the slot on 34.0 percent of his snaps, which was the second-most in his career since 2016.
6. A.J. BROWN, PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (87.7)
Brown capped off his first season in Philadelphia with a highlight catch in the Super Bowl, where he made a late adjustment to Jalen Hurts‘ deep pass to score a touchdown. He also averaged 2.53 receiving yards per route run in the regular season, which was the second most among wide receivers.
7. COOPER KUPP, LOS ANGELES RAMS (86.3)
Last year’s Super Bowl MVP played just 553 snaps in 2022, which was the second-fewest in his career, as his season was cut short due to an injury. However, Kupp was his reliable self up to that point, as he dropped just one of his 76 catchable targets for the lowest drop rate of his career. Furthermore, he was targeted on 28.5 percent of his receiving snaps, which was the second-highest rate among wide receivers.
8. CEEDEE LAMB, DALLAS COWBOYS (86.2)
Dallas’s No. 1 receiver finished with the fourth-most receptions among wide receivers with 107. Furthermore, he was a big play threat, as 42 of his receptions went for at least 15 yards, which was the third most among wide receivers in 2022.
9. KEENAN ALLEN, LOS ANGELES CHARGERS (84.4)
Allen played his second-fewest snaps in a season in 2022 as he was battling injuries and was on the field for just 526 snaps in the regular season. However, he finished with his highest receiving yards per route run (2.11) since the 2018 season. Furthermore, Allen had the most receptions (66) among wide receivers without a dropped pass in 2022.
10. JA'MARR CHASE, CINCINNATI BENGALS (83.9)
Chase set the bar very high in his rookie season; however, he finished with the exact same receiving grade in the 2022 regular season as he did in the 2021 regular season: 84.0. The former LSU Tiger had to miss some time due to injury, which changed his play, as he went from 39 explosive receptions (15-plus receiving yards) in 2021 to just 24 in 2022. Regardless, he was still one of the NFL's best wide receivers last year.
