This is of course rankings season in the NFL and I’m always willing to link to these types of posts.
Yet, I don’t often feature them unless they really stick out as unusual or surprising.
The Pro Football Focus wide receiver groups rankings falls in that category. PFF ranks the Las Vegas Raiders’ receiver ranks as the No. 26th best in the NFL. That’s right, their experts think there are 25 better receiver groups in the NFL ... and only six worse.
That strikes me as a little harsh. I think the Raiders’ receivers are closer to average than the worst group in the league.
