• Odell Beckham Jr.
• Keenan Allen
• A.J. Brown
• A.J. Green
• Julio Jones
• JuJu Smith-Schuster
• Michael Thomas
• Amari Cooper
• Mike Williams
• Kelvin Benjamin
• D.K. Metcalf
• Sammy Watkins
• Mike Evans
• Terry McLaurin
Higgins is doing well, but records/stats like that are quickly becoming meaningless.
There's 2 WR this year on pace to fly past 1,100 yards (Jefferson and Lamb) and another 6 on pace right now for ~700-900+ yards (Higgins, Aiyuk, Jeudy, Ruggs, Shenault, Claypool) and that's just from the first 50 picks of the 2020 draft.
There has to be a shift back towards earlier football eventually, before it turns into arena league, no?
