All of those numbers are good for a high-end WR2.
If the Bengals had 3 WRs who had 800+ yards and 7+ TDs, we'd be ecstatic.
Is JJSS a WR1? No. He's a WR2.
Is Diontae Johnson a WR1? No. He's a WR2.
Claypool might be the one who gets to the WR1 echelon. He was the WR3 in that offense last year, but I see him getting more opportunities this year. He may be on the same tier as Higgins, but I think Higgins is a low-end WR1. I would expect Chase to be better than them all. If not, he shouldn't be the selection at 5.
Claypool has potential to be a big time receiver in the league. He’s a big dude who isn’t afraid to go up for the ball. Has breakaway speed with the ball in his hands as well. Thankfully he’s immature and has JJSS as his role model. Hopefully he remains a little b and that stunts his growth as a player. Losing Ben should end up hurting his numbers a bit too unless the Steelers get a good QB here in the next few years.
