If he outperforms Malone, Jefferson or whoever else he's competing with on Special Teams then keep him on the roster.
Not true. The "average" punt returner gets about 8 yards per punt return, on about 20 punt returns every year. There are usually about 5-10 punt return TDs for the entire year on all punt returns.
The "average" starting WR gets about 12 yards per reception, on about 70 catches a year with 5 TDs (per player).
Per game, the contribution of a WR is much greater on offense than it is on special teams.
As far as what the 7th wideout can offer to a team, on the field--probably not much. But as a rule, any WR can offer more, on a per play basis, on offense than they can on STs. So if you're choosing between two guys, take the guy that can offer more for the offense over a guy that can run fast and play the gunner position. If you can't find a couple guys on a 53 man roster that can run fast for that, you already have bigger problems.
