Washington: Terry McLaurin, Curtis Samuel, Dyami Brown, Kelvin Harmon, Adam Humphries, Cam Sims. Vikings top "player team report card," and . He ran an unofficial 4.28 second 40 time at a private Pro Day after dropping some of that weight. By releasing Golladay, the Giants save $6.7 million against their salary cap. The addition of Brown has helped Jalen Hurts and the Eagles' offense reach new heights, as Hurts has a league-high nine TD passes on go routes this season with Brown being responsible for an NFL-best five of them. Gambling problem? His only real weakness to me is that he depends on physicality to get open quickly, as he lacks the short area quickness to get open purely based on acceleration. This play showcases his deep speed and big play ability, but also his ability to locate the ball and adjust to the throw. The 2014 Arizona Cardinals 4th rounder bounced around the league over the past 6 years but seems to have finally settled on his 6th team. This week, we've assembled a list of the top 10 wide receivers heading into Week 15. This time, instead of Mike Hughes, Cooper (top of screen) is facing off against Darius Slay. Minnesota Vikings. Behind every great quarterback, there's an excellent wide receiver, or two, or three. NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah joined Chris Brown and Steve Tasker on One Bills Live from the NFL Combine in Indianapolis. Andrew is a self-taught film analyst with a pretty impressive resume. Whenever defenses left him 1-on-1 against non-elite CBs, he was able to get open for a big play, though he was often missed by inaccurate Redskins QBs early in the season. They have the No. As an aside, I think this play also highlights problems with how the Eagles scheme up their secondary. The wide receiver landscape in the NFC East has changed dramatically over the past couple of seasons. Expect the QB play to dramatically improve next year as teams either move onto new starters or double down on weapons for their existing starters. The CB starts to close the distance, but cant stop JJ, who does a great job locating and tracking the ball in the air and catching it. Playing well through injury is one way scouts measure football character. 1 receiver. Love is draped all over JJ, trying to muscle him even having the awareness to reach out when the ball is in the air to break up the pass. Best Wide Receiver Duo (Douglas DeFelice-USA TODAY Sports) There are many potential choices for the best receiver pair in the game today. This play shows excellent route running ability, strength, and effort, though it would be nice if he trusted his hands enough to make the catch without using his body to corral the ball. Who tops the list? New York Giants tight end Evan Engram is a more talented overall player than both but the 3rd year TE is struggling with his catch percentage(it is sub 60%) as an offense safety blanket Engram has been a disappointment this year. July 25, 2021 1:56 pm MT. 2023 NFL Enterprises LLC. Complimenting his speed, Reagor shows good ball-tracking ability and ability to adjust to the ball once its in the air. Here are PFF's wide receiver rankings ahead of the 2022 season, starting with Davante Adams and Cooper Kupp at the top. [0:01] Reagor shifts from the left slot to right boundary, helping his QB to diagnose zone coverage because the slot CB doesnt travel with him. This season, the division is up for grabs yet again. I also think hes not especially physical and will have trouble against press coverage. But forcing him to start so far off essentially gives Slayton a running start as he passes Darby. In addition to that, he is experienced running routes from any WR position, though he favors the slot. Commanders Reacts Survey: Do you want to see the Washington Commanders on Hard Knocks in 2023. Bo Wulf of The Athletic suggested this weekend that wide receiver Quez Watkins could find himself . Except for those teams with the transcendent signal-callers like Aaron Rodgers, Patrick Mahomes, and Tom Brady. However, his best athletic trait isnt his deep speed so much as his short-area quickness. [7:50] Cooper again lines up top of screen opposite Mike Hughes. NFC East receivers chart.The Best Receiver in the division is either Amari Cooper or Terry McLaurin. As it pertains to this season specifically, Diggs has not slowed down, leading the league with 10 receiving TDs when aligned wide. 4. It's difficult to separate the top two receivers in 2022, but when taking into account career production and capability, Jefferson just barely gets the top spot. JJ is also a good route runner and solid (though not aggressive) blocker. That good deep speed, with elite agility and acceleration shows up on tape as well. Watching Reagor play, I would describe him as explosive, sudden, fast, smart (good at recognizing coverages and exploiting soft spots in zones), and a good route runner. Richardsons injury history served as prologue to his time in the NFL. Despite the down year, Reagor had a pretty good Combine, measuring in at 511, 206 pounds, and running a 4.47 second 40 yard dash. He committed to Auburn and was a big play threat throughout his college career, but didnt get to show much versatility in a simple offense with poor QB play for much of his college career. NFC East . The Redskins seem to have a very high-quality group on the field, though the only well-known name in the bunch is Terry McLaurin, and his fame doesnt extend far beyond the fantasy football communityyet. He will put that analytical brain to work this off-season helping to analyze some of the top players in the NFC East. He is also still an excellent route runner, running crisp routes with a tremendous sense of timing and anticipation of the balls arrival. McLaurin releases and expertly fakes outside, causing Douglas to flip his hips outside while Terry turns back inside and easily runs past Douglas in the 1-on-1 matchup and gets open to make a big catch. Then he shows good awareness of the defense in sprinting away from defenders to get the long TD. [1:04] This time the defense is running man coverage. Afraid of getting beat deep, defenses have played split-safety coverages at the highest rate against the Dolphins (51 percent) and man coverage at the lowest rate (17 percent). The Next Gen Stats analytics team reveals its ranking of the 10 best edge rushers entering Week 14 of the 2022 NFL season, with the Browns' Myles Garrett leading a list of star defenders. They also arguably have the best starting group of anyone in the NFL. Last years 3rd round pick, Michael Gallup adds a speed element to the teams receiving corps, which was further bolstered this off-season when the Cowboys signed former Green Bay Packer Randall Cobb during the veteran free agency period. In this section, well offer a look at a few of the top players in the division, with an analysis of their styles, skills and limitations written by Andrew York, who has volunteered to help me with this series. The wide receiver landscape in the NFC East has changed dramatically over the past couple of seasons. However, Richardson is also a good route runner and is quick and nuanced enough to operate well on all routes in the route tree. Waddle has reached 20+ mph on four offensive touches this season, tied for the third-most among all wide receivers (behind Christian Watson and teammate Tyreek Hill). To learn more or opt-out, read our Cookie Policy. Is the Jaguars' decision to make a big investment in Christian Kirk paying off so far? They respect his deep speed and he takes advantage by breaking inside on a crossing route with nobody around him. He was also a competent kick returner, with 9 returns for 189 yards (21.0 Y/R). Sterling Shepard, the Giants 2016 second-round pick, has probably not yet lived up to the high expectations that surrounded him when he was drafted, but he went for 872 yards and 4 TDs in 2018. Cooper is one of the best in the NFL at building up speed on the route stem as if hes going to go deep, then stopping on a dime and cutting in a different direction so suddenly that the DB is backing up several feet away before he realizes hes out of position. Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin was a sleeper candidate to take this award going into this season but has sadly been sidelined with Injuries. [1:17] Arcegna-Whiteside makes a great fake outside to over-commit the CB, then uses quick feet to explode inside and get great initial separation. Please also read our Privacy Notice and Terms of Use, which became effective December 20, 2019. "Aaron Rodgers . You cant teach speed. Since joining Josh Allen and the Bills, Diggs leads the NFL with 2,953 receiving yards when aligned wide, and his 1,077 yards on hitch routes over that span are 370 more than the next-closest player (Tyler Lockett, 707). But in todays NFL, it is better to be quick with great acceleration out of a break or a cut. Slayton had success early in this game when he was matched up on other CBs, but got completely shut down once Gilmore moved to shadow him starting with this play. Having a terrific big muscular body for the position and running a great 40-yard dash time are wonderful attributes, but it doesnt always translate to success in the league. Jeffery lines up on the outside in a bunch formation (3 WRs all bunched up on the same side), but at the last second moves inside as if hes moving to the slot. Tate then stares down safety Jeff Heath and fakes inside to set him up before cutting outside, breaking another tackle attempt as he accelerates quickly to the endzone. [1:43] This is why the Redskins drafted Terry McLaurin. Its really impressive. He will put that analytical brain to work this off-season helping to analyze some of the top players in the NFC East. Again, Adams' impact is felt beyond just the box score. Reagor is also a skilled kick returner, with 12 kick returns for 312 yards (a 26.0 average) in 2018 and 5 kick returns for 72 yards (a 14.4 average) in 2019. Eventually, Washington took it. Andre Dillard is a clear successor to Jason Peters. Despite having plenty of separation, McLaurin extends his hands to catch away from his body, showing better form than the hands-catching I noted in his college tape. It also helped the other players on offense by giving them easier matchups and complicating the Lions defense (if Slay had to travel, then other DBs had to travel or adjust their responsibility accordingly). Both are big, strong, physical WRs who are great at making contested catches, highpointing the ball, and serving as their teams WR1. 3. Reagor has weaknesses though. Instead of taking a step back, Hill has elevated an entire offense and been the key to third-year quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's breakout season. After the snap, Richardson soon breaks inside on his route while Davis (a little behind him) breaks outside, allowing Richardson to incidentally block the DB mirroring Davis and let Davis run free up the sideline for a huge gain. Then he makes a tremendous leaping catch, using his long arms and sure hands to highpoint the ball and secure it away from the CB for a TD. This was a poorly placed ball it should have been lower and inside to make it harder to intercept and easier to catch but Reagor did a great job tracking the ball and adjusting (leaping) to the high throw to bail out his QB. In particular, Lamb has been lethal when going in a shift or motion, leading the NFL with both 337 receiving yards and 4 receiving TDs on such snaps this season. NFC Players By Position - Wide Receiver. 1. Cooper again runs down the sideline and seems to get open by selling the deep route, but breaking it back to shake loose. Darby is a much better (and faster) CB than Douglas and runs with McLaurin down the sideline, but Terry turns back at just the right time, quickly locates the ball in the air, tracks it, and reaches out to make a very tough contested catch. What follows is the BBV discussion of what scouts look for in running back prospects. He has NFL bloodlines as his father, Paul Richardson, played several years as an NFL wide receiver as well. Panthers saddled with another odd pick in latest NFL.com mock draft. Speaking of top-end receivers who switched teams in the offseason, Adams presents another great case study in positional value. He is a very good runner, his routes are crisp and he does a very good job breaking them deep enough to ensure a first down if he makes the reception on most plays. It would have made more sense for Darby to press Slayton at the line, disrupt his route, then run with him and have the other DB start further back to act as insurance if Darby gets beat. . Golladay will finish his Giants career with 43 receptions for . However, he also ended this play with a mistake I saw him make a few other times too by slipping and falling without contact. This is a play that could have benefited from a fake inside before starting the route though, and notice this is again a body catch. Again, Slayton does the basic job necessary to run his route and make a play, but doesnt employ any subtlety or counters to beat a CB as athletic as he is. Giants: Darius Slayton, Kenny Golladay, John Ross III, Sterling Shepard, Kadarius Toney. He even manages to keep his feet in bounds when he lands despite a shove by Darby, showing excellent body control and awareness. [2:09] Jeffery runs right at his CB (Eli Apple), using his long arms to shove him back, then breaking inside to get open and get the catch and first down. Sure, there are ways to use formation and motion offensively to help receivers get away from press. Richardson also has good hands, and I think his somewhat low career catch percentage (58.7%) is more a function of running deep routes than any lack of pass catching ability. He runs basic routes that get him where he needs to go, but show very little nuance (in terms of exploiting zones) or subtlety (in terms of using fakes and timing). Well, they are often doing battle with excellent man coverage cornerbacks. Although the ball is placed right on his hands, he makes an ugly drop and misses out on a big play. Meanwhile, the veteran wideout has scored a league-high eight touchdowns on deep targets for his new team, two more than any other player. The team is left with newly-signed the veteran free agent, 30-year-old Golden Tate (who, for the record, I wanted the Redskins to sign in free agency this year) as the apparent top receiver on the roster. Not all the players listed will make the team, and I might easily miss especially for the Redskins division rivals players who will make the Week 1 roster, but this list should give some idea of the relative depth of the four positional groups. Despite pass interference from the CB (and what looks like an uncalled facemask penalty), McLaurin fights through the contact to make a tough catch and get the first down. Thats insane. To prepare, we at Chargers Wire are previewing players from every position. NFL passing games want quick-hitting routes rather than long developing ones downfield. The Eagles belong at the bottom of this list but that doesnt mean there isnt potential. Watching tape of Tate really reinforced what a YAC monster he is. The Giants are expected to add wide receivers in the draft and free agency, given their current depth chart at the position. Look how much cushion the CB opposite Reager (bottom of screen) gives him, clearly afraid of getting beat deep. Also, Im not sure how much this will translate to the NFL, but I literally saw Reagor yelling at his QB after some plays where he expected a different read or better ball placement. Jose Joaquin (JJ) Arcega-Whiteside was born in Spain, the child of two professional basketball players. Safeties play a critical role in today's NFL. Taking a closer look at his peers we can see Jalen Reagor the Philadelphia Eagle's 21st overall pick in the previous draft is experiencing regular rookie growing pains. He then changes direction uphill so suddenly that Lewis overshoots him on the tackle attempt. 2. [10:15] Richardson absolutely blows past his CB running deep. McLaurin keeps track of the play, and when he sees Peterson coming to his side of the field, does a great job blocking Mills out of the play. [2:21] Cooper (bottom of screen) runs forward to act as a blocker, but whiffs on his initial attempted block and cant really get push on anyone. Despite not getting much separation, Reagors use of inside leverage keeps him open and he does a great job highpointing the ball, bodying the CB out of the play and catching it away from him, so theres no chance for the CB to make a play on the ball. Unless Eli Manning, who has averaged 3,800 yards, 20 TDs and 12 INTs over the past two seasons with OBJ on the field with him for 16 games, can find some magic in his 38-year-old arm, the Giants receivers are unlikely to make a big dent in the league receiving statistics.

JJ has an extensive bag of tricks, using good fakes and foot quickness to get open at the release and good body positioning to make tough, contested catches. DeVonta Smith is an instant star for the Eagles and a true No. [2:08] Here is another example of using excellent body-positioning to box an opponent out, but this time against a much better opponent: Julian Love (taken by the Giants in the 4th round of the 2019 draft). Sims caught 32 passes last year and Harmon had a promising rookie season in 2019 before an ACL tear forced him to miss last year. On tape, Richardsons quickness and speed stand out. As mentioned before, hes a bit small for a WR and can be pressed at the line. This is an example of the trouble Cooper has when facing off against top CBs who are as athletically gifted as he is and arent afraid of getting beat deep. CB #21 (Ronald Darby) looked fast enough to run with Slayton and almost caught him at the end.

I suspect the best-known group of receivers in the division is the Cowboys receiving corps, headlined by Amari Cooper and featuring the just-drafted CeeDee Lamb. Diggs went from good to great following his trade from Minnesota to Buffalo in 2020. [7:06] Very clever play design by Doug Pederson. Tate is a good route runner, an extremely reliable catcher (2nd fewest drops among WRs in 2018), and most importantly is one of the NFLs best WRs at getting yards after catch (YAC). [0:41] This is almost a mirror of the first play shown above against the Vikings. You can see Reagors style with the ball in his hands is similar to a RB, with sharp cuts and good vision picking out running lanes to get 19 yards after the catch. The New Orleans Saints have . The Next Gen Stats analytics team provides a ranking of the top 10 players at the position in 2022, with some names that could surprise you. Your login session has expired. Tate is rarely asked to block in the run game, but is a willing and physical blocker when put in that role. The Packers' offense has faltered for most of the season without Adams to create explosive plays. He finished the season with 48 receptions for 740 yards. PanthersWire. Richardsons negatives almost entirely have to do with his strength and injury history. Washington Football Team Terry McLaurin has solidified himself as one of the best young receivers in the NFL. Despite lack of deep speed, JJ was often able to make big plays like this one using fakes, quick feet, and good hands-catching ability. Coopers ability to sell a fake will still get him open against younger DBs, which is why it really takes an experienced and fast DB playing press man to shut him down. 100 routes). East Carolina: R: NAME: TEAM: COLLEGE: Such questionable play at the QB spot led me to wonder how the dependent receivers are fairing under such unsteady conditions. Up today: Receivers 1. However, Cooks is a. The Allen-Diggs connection leads all QB-receiver duos with +61.0 expected points added this season, helping the Bills surge to the top spot in the AFC entering Week 15 and giving both players plenty to be thankful for. Were ranking the division by position group. And then to grab Brown in the third round might end up being a steal. Richardson lines up outside (top of screen) with Davis lining up inside as a potential blocker (though it doesnt look like the defense buys that for a second). He never quits on plays. However, note that this play seems designed explicitly to get the ball to Cooper. His most impressive area of improvement was in his catching ability. Many of the recent early-round busts at this position came from wide-open spread attacks that only asked the wide receivers to run a few routes and when these young receivers adjusted to the league, they were just not close to being well-rounded enough in all aspects of running an NFL route tree. CBS Sports Draft Analyst Chris Trapasso joined One Bills Live from the NFL Combine. Jefferson caught 128 passes for . This was a 37 yard play. Dealt from Chicago to Baltimore, Roquan Smith was one of the biggest names to change teams before the NFL trade deadline. Justin Jefferson is arguably the best wide receiver in the league. Jonathan Mingo - Mississippi Feb 2, 2023; Mobile, AL,. Try and press Jefferson to disrupt his route? Non-Redskin fans could be forgiven if they were unfamiliar with Cam Sims, Trey Quinn, Terry McLaurin and Kelvin Harmon, though the latter two, taken in the 3rd & 6th rounds of Aprils draft, got a lot of good press during the pre-draft buildup this year. March 1, 2023 6:03 am USAToday PanthersWire. The NFC West has some very good wide receivers in the division. There's one NFC East receiver on the list, and the problem . Which game-wrecking unit reigns supreme right now? But he hasn't spent more than three years with any team over the course of his career. Wide receiver is next up in our position-by-position breakdown of the NFC East. The $20 million receiver barely squeezes past Washington Football Team's 2nd year star receiver Terry McLaurin. Slayton doesnt have much in the way of counters, tricks, or physicality to get open if his athleticism isnt enough. A good balance between raw production and catch efficiency sees him lead the pack. He has a PhD in Experimental Particle Physics and has spent several years doing research with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, and now does R&D work as a US government contractor. Running a sub-4.4 40 time himself, Slay isnt afraid of getting beat deep, and keeps his eyes moving between Cooper and Dak the entire time he runs with Cooper. Note that Reagor got injured earlier in this game and looked to be in a lot of pain, but came back and played through it very effectively (as shown here).
