Breer: There's ‘something messed up' in Patriots' receiver room originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
It's no secret that the New England Patriots are devoid of wide receiver talent. But few could have expected this.
The Patriots' wideouts have been a disaster this season, to put it mildly. Their most "productive" receiver, DeMario Douglas, ranks 73rd in the NFL with just 306 yards in nine games. Kayshon Boutte (203 yards) is the only other receiver with more than 100 yards on the season, while second-round rookie Ja'Lynn Polk has caught just 10 of his 24 targets for 78 yards and had another rough performance in the Patriots' overtime loss to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.
