We have the best duo no question. Ja'Marr is the best WR in the NFL right now and Tee when healthy is maybe the best #2 WR, maybe.
He is definitely the biggest WR that is the biggest mismatch to compliment the best WR in the league. I don't know how you could have our
duo ranked even 4th, let alone 5th. That is just some people that don't know shit obviously. The Rams and Vikings have great duos but the
Rams have only one top WR in Puka and he isn't as good as Ja'Marr, not close. The Vikes obviously have JJ, but Addison isn't near as good as
Tee is when he is healthy and they don't have near the QB to put them atop our guys.
AJ Brown and Devante are damn good with the Eagles. But I still wouldn't say they are better than Ja'Marr and Tee.

The reason we weren’t higher? Didn’t make playoffs. Why was Philly the best? SB winners.
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.

The Eagles duo is damn good, they just don't get used as much with their great running game.

But would they have been as heralded if they hadn’t won? Oh I’m not diminishing them just think our not making the playoffs hurt us.

When you win it all everything is heralded, just the way it is. Agree, us missing the Playoffs hurt us as far as where we are ranked.
We still should have the highest ranked duo for sure though. Ja'Marr is the best WR in the NFL right now and there aren't many better #2's.

The Bengals have the best duo in the NFL and it isn't close.
I think Tampa Bay may have better depth than us with McMilllan and Egbuka behind Godwin and Evans.
I think Chicago has a lot of unrealized potential that could jump significantly this year, especially with their new head coach.
But for the time being, I had to give the Bengals a top 2 nod.
If you count Gesicki as a WR (since he's basically a slot receiver), we're #1 no doubt.

Those are some talented WR's the Bucs added for sure in a weak WR class.
Rome Odunze for the Bears I think will be damn good in the NFL.

I voted 1-2 cause of the combination of Chase and Tee. The 3 & 4 spots didn't factor in much with me, because that is how good both of them are when on the field together.

I don't think you can rank receivers without considering who is throwing them the ball. Miami has some great receivers, but Tua will likely miss some games.And their backup is Zack Wilson. Yikes! I'd bet Jefferson's numbers take a hit with an unknown at QB. All factors considered, I put the Bengals in the top two.

I went with 3-5.
Puka and Adams in LA is a ridiculous combination. I have them as my #1 duo.
Brown and Smith in Philly is lethal, and Waddle and the Cheetah in Miami is also a combo that strikes fear in the heart of DC's. I think Addison gets slept on a bit in his pairing with JJ in Minny. He's damn good, too.
Tampa may have the best trio in the league with Evans, Godwin, and Egbuka, though.
Chase is the #1 WR in the league right now, and Tee is really good, but Yoshi was PFF's worst rated WR in the league last year...and he's #3, meaning the guys behind him are even worse. That drags us down a tad.

I think the WR group will get lots of recognition this year. Joe has been to reliant on Tee & Chase. I think it will be huge this year as he is becoming more confident in Gesicki & Isovias. I look for another leap by Isovias.And… now that they’ve got their contracts maybe things will evolve. I am also excited as Patrick & Fairchild are much better pass blockers. And Scott Peters will do much better. If Joey B has more time and the offense not handicapped with so much quick passing and can use longer developing routes then look out.
