I think we have the best top 4 WR group in the NFL.

Chase
Higgins
Yoshi ( who has preogessed each yea(
Jones _ needs to stay healthy, I am hopeful he can have a great TC
Burton, could be number 4 if he grows up, talent is there, not sure his head is on straight though, 2024 will either be a wake up call for him and his actions in 2025 will revert back to 2024 and he will be looking for a new home.

Ja'Marr's number.... Chase and Tee make that happen. The rest are JAGs.

Based on JaMarr and Tee alone, easily the top duo in the league. However, when looking at the entire room of WRs? I had to put them in that 3-5 class. Seriously, if Chase were to go down for any significant length of time, the team would likely be screwed.

I would even rank them just as their numbers #1 Chase # 5 Higgins. Call me crazy but I think he’s the 5th ranked WR in my in the league. I guess I’m a littile biased .

Criteria for ranking in a 100 point measuring system:
WR1 = 60 pts
WR2 = 30 pts
WR3 = 10 pts

Chase is #2 WR1 in the league - he gets 31 out of 32 points. So 31 divided by 32 equals 0.96875. He is valued as 60 multiplied by 0.96875, which equals to 58.125.

Tee is #1 WR2 in the league - he gets 32 out of 32 points. So 32 divided by 32 equals 1. He is valued as 30 multiplied by 1, which equals 30.

Yoshi is #22 WR3 in the league - he gets 10 out 32 points. So 10 divided by 32 equals equals 0.3125. He is valued as 10 multiplied by 0.3125, which equals to 3.125

So the total value of our WRs is 91.25

How do we rank against other Team's WRs? I have no idea.

Yep. Top 2 guys are #1. When you add in 3 and 4 they drop a bit. Somewhere between 3-5. 

In fear with the departure of Pickens, PIT will look at hometown boy Tyler Boyd. I'd love to see I TB can return to form here and make Yoshi our #4.

I'm a huge Tee Higgins fan, but 5 might be a lil rich for me. I'd say Ja'Marr, Jefferson, Puka, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Nico Collins, AJ Brown, and probably still Mike Evans are superior players to Higgins. Brian Thomas Jr and Nabors might be coming too... Regardless; Tee Higgins is really good.

We've already kind have seen that happen though, in 2022:

Chase missed 4 games; Cle. on Shalloween, to Carolina, then Stoolers, then Titans. 3 games on the road.

23.25 Completions on 34 Attempts, for 68.3% completion percentage.
Average of 265.75 Yards, 2 TDs, .75 INTs and a 100.1 rating.

We did have Boyd, but Boyd in those games went:

3 catches for 38 yards, 1 TD
5 catches for 44 yards
2 catches for 42 yards
2 catches for 16 yards

Someone else stepped up in every game, so it wasn't 100% on Higgins the whole time (Car. was Mixon, Pittsburgh was Irwin and Perine, Titans was Perine and Hurst) either, thus if we lost Chase for just a few games, I don't think we'd skip a beat

Significant amount of time, you may be correct indeed, but we have gone a quart of the year without him and have gone 3-1... I don't want to wait and see though lol, let's keep him healthy :)

Chase is #1 WR in the league. Period.

Jefferson has not, cannot and will not do what Chase did last year. We are not boosting them because they are on our team, it is the truth.



Anyways, unrelated to the 2 above responses and related to the poll, we're definitely 1-2: I'm higher on Iosivas than the majority are, but the guy really is an underrated performer: if given the same amount of routes run as Chase, maybe you wouldn't see last year's numbers, but you'd probably get a 1,000 yard, 7-8 TD guy and that's not bad at all.

Then you add Burton, who is a complete wildcard (could be the true #3 on the team, could be cut before the season starts), really good returners in Jones and Williams and we have a top-tier group, with potential to be the best and skills in every major category (hands, speed, contesting, Special Teams, etc.).

At least none of our WRs are doing this:

Best in the league, no question.
Not only are Chase and Higg both great, they are such different archetypes it makes the other team pretty much pick their poison. Jamarr and Joe have such cohesion that you can have him covered perfectly and still give up the catch...then he is the best RAC player in the league so a perfectly covered slant route can turn into a 70 yard TD play.
Then you have Tee, who in a vacuum, is an even harder 1 on 1 cover, as said by CTB. Hes so long and strong that there are only a handful of corners who can challenge him. Add in the fact hes a solid route runner and you have two unstoppable receivers.

the rest are just a mix and match of guys with different strengths, I still think we need that 5'8-10, shifty, instinctual slot guy. Yoshii has an innate ability to get open in the redzone which is great and he can produce for the next 5 years here.
I had high hopes for Charlie Jones, he even won us a game or two with punt returns, but he cannot stay healthy....until he does hes just a returner.
Burton has tools and is a prime deep threat but we know his off the field issues. I will admit, even as a Bama guy, I brushed these concerns off, but as they say, "some men, you just cant reach".

+ CeeDee Lamb.

Yep... Him too.

Two of the dudes ranked us as the top duo and then the new dude ranked us fourth and Jamie Erdal(sp?) ranked us fifth.

With an improved o-line giving Burrow time to throw, Chase and Higgins will destroy this league.

WHO-DEY!

Same, nothing against Ja'Marr and Tee, they are the best duo, but we are talking our entire WR core and after them it falls off a ton. I guess if 
you consider Mike G a Receiver which he pretty much is we could be 1 or 2 but even he only caught 2 TD's last year. Iosivas grew a ton last year
but he still runs the wrong routes at times and drops the ball here and there. Burton has all the talent in the world but no brains. Chuck is hurt all
the time etc.

We definitely have the best duo and they absolutely have to produce that way. We have $68.75 mill tied up in those two this coming year. Add in Burrow and thats $130 mill bw the three.
We've also had them and Burrow the last 5 years and they've been great, but it was the defense who got us to the SB.

Not holding my breath, but I'd love to see Burton "get it" this year

Oh yeah, with his hands and speed he could be the guy that puts us over the top. But all the talent in the world means nothing if you have no brains.
