Chase, obviously.
Mixon is good, if healthy, but rarely is anymore.
Boyd is a good slot/possession guy, but only 1 TD to 4 Int's on 35 targets this year.
Higgins has struggled outside the red zone this year and isn't even Top 100 in yards/target. Folks had high hopes on him developing into a WR1 or 1b, but he hasn't shown it this year.
You look at Tampa, they have Godwin, Evans, AB, Gronk, and Fornette. Plus their depth guys are guys like Ronald Jones, OJ Howard, and Tyler Johnson.
Or Zac is a McVay disciple. McVay had Cooks, Kupp, Woods, and the best RB in the game in Gurley when he went to the SB. He currently has 4 WR's with 200+ receiving yards with Kupp, Woods, Van Jefferson, and DeSean Jackson. We have 2.
You can get by with 3 weapons if 2 of them are elite, not guys like Boyd who had a couple of seasons where he barely got 1000 yards because there was nothing around him and they force fed him targets.
This past week is a perfect example. We have nobody currently like Devonta Adams who can just go out there and take a game over. Chase could very well become that guy, but it's very early to annoit him that.
Not to mention Trey Hopkins has been abysmal this year.
Your logic fails.
You can't say we have to judge Boyd and Higgins just based on 2021 alone and at the same time say we can't judge Chase based on 2021 alone. You are "anointing" Van Jefferson as a "weapon" for the Rams and refusing to do the same for Chase despite the fact that Chase has more career receiving yards and tds than Jefferson.
You can't say that Mixon being #5 in the league in rushing does not count because he has been injured in the past and at the same time say Fournette and DeSean Jackson are "weapons" for the Bucs when they have worse injury histories than Joe.
