Stank_Nasty Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 (edited) Our boys coming in at #3. Pretty fair ranking, I would say. Some cool numbers breakdowns. Nice to see these guys all coming together like we all thought it could!.... Also if you look down through the list, we're the only team that has our list go 5 deep. So while we may ranked 3rd overall, i think it could be argued its the deepest corp in the NFL. https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-s-top-10-wide-receiver-corps-seahawks-falcons-soaring Rank 3 Buffalo Bills 7-2-0 2020 WR stats: 2,095 yards, 9.0 yards per target, 12:4 TD-to-INT ratio when targeted, +5.4% CROE Stefon Diggs: 63 catches, 813 rec. yards, 3 rec. TDs (+6.5% CROE) Cole Beasley: 44 catches, 533 rec. yards, 2 rec. TDs (+10.0% CROE) John Brown: 23 catches, 314 rec. yards, 2 rec. TDs (-4.2% CROE) Gabriel Davis: 19 catches, 275 rec. yards, 3 rec. TDs (+6.0% CROE) Isaiah McKenzie: 15 catches, 138 rec. yards, 2 rec. TDs (+6.7% CROE) In his first season in Buffalo, Stefon Diggs leads the league in receiving yards, and while he was a lucrative target on post routes in his final season in Minnesota, he's gained a good portion of his 2020 receiving total on the outside portion of the field. Diggs has seven receptions on boundary targets (targets within 2 yards of the sideline), the most among qualifying receivers (those with a minimum of 15 total receptions), and his 440 yards gained outside the numbers count as the third most among receivers. Take away the middle of the field against Diggs, but be prepared for him to make you pay on the outside. John Brown, Gabriel Davis and Cole Beasley have helped complement Diggs in the revamped Bills receiving corps, but Josh Allen is making the most of his targets intended for Isaiah McKenzie, who thrives with his speed. McKenzie has been open on 87.5 percent of his targets, the highest rate among all receivers, proving defensive focus on Diggs will leave others open for opportunities. McKenzie is capitalizing, and the Bills are cooking through the air as a result. Edited November 12, 2020 by Stank_Nasty 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgil Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Carolina being 4 is surprising. The Texans being higher than the Cardinals after trading Hopkins to them, is even more surprising. If you made me guess, I would have thought Seahawks, Rams, Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Process Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 How are the buccaneers anything but no 1? If Brown is anywhere near the player he was then it's not even close really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special K Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 As I said back in the draft day thread, the Bills got a great one with Gabriel Davis....and what a perfect situation it is for him, getting to learn behind these veteran receivers and contribute as a rookie at the same time. I’ve always liked what McKenzie brings to the WR group....also a perfect situation for him to show his skills. As for Diggs, Brown, and Beasley....the dominant #1 WR, the speed burner #2 receiver, and the always open slot receiver. What more could you ask for!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in Atlanta Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Diggs (elite), Beasley (slot dominance), Brown (speed) are a complete show. So fun to watch. Get a top TE next season and it'll be bonkers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Brown is anywhere near the player he was then it's not even close really. Because Brady is diminished. His numbers look good because they are absolutely loaded to the gills with studs on offense but he is not talented enough any longer to take advantage of all that field stretching and big play talent they have. Bills situation is the opposite.........Allen is elevating his WR corps with a great season to this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincec Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 After reviewing the rosters from the article, I'd say that the Bills have THE best receiving corps in the NFL. Not just in terms of overall talent but it terms of versatility too. They can beat you deep, short and in the middle. They can run after the catch and make the contested catches too. Plus, they have a guy that can't be covered 1v1 by any CB in the NFL. If someone has a better WR group that Buffalo then there ought to be a law against them.

I love that Belichick just can’t see talent at that position. Both of those guys would be upgrades for the Pats*. Davis would probably be their #1, and he’s our #4.

There was no money to pay anyone even before the opt outs. Brady knew what he had last year (nothing) and knew this year would be worse. Also, I’m sure he’s aware of the Brady vs BB talk and saw his chance. If that’s so, he was correct...and I don’t blame him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So fun to watch. Get a top TE next season and it'll be bonkers. Age is the only thing.. Brown is 30 and Beasley is 31.. Roberts is 32.. We’re good with Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis but we could use a protege to add into the mix... preferably a STs ace.. Let em learn behind the vets for a year or two.. but we do need to add someone in the mold of Mecole Hardman.. A pass catching tight end is probably more pertinent though.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
