Can someone name a better receiving core?

After those two last year it was a whose who of nothing:

3rd leading WR

Mecole Hardman: with a total of 560 yards

then

Demarcus Robinson with 466 yards

Sammy Watkins with 421 yards

Clyde Edwards-Helaire with 297 yards


The top two they have are really great (and neither a 1st round pick FYI) but I wouldn't call that an elite receiving group. Two great guys, and a bunch of question marks and a really good RB.

That sounds almost like what we have now.... huh... maybe a better coach would get better results from the obvious talent we have and scheme to use the RB more...

The big thing you're missing is targets.  Boyd and Higgins had 100+ targets last year.  Hardman, Watkins, and Robinson had 50-60 each.  That's because Boyd and Higgins are the top 2 receiving options for the Bengals while those guys are the 3-5 option.  If you put Boyd or Higgins on KC, they would be down in the 400-500 yard range, too, because they aren't getting 100+ targets with Hill and Kelce on the field.
