The Wide Receiver Depth Competition

The Jets should have plenty of competition during training camp this year, but one of the most interesting battles will take place for the fifth and possibly sixth wide receiver positions on the roster. The first four spots on the WR depth chart should be Brandon Marshall, Eric Decker, Jeremy Kerley, and Devin Smith barring unforeseen injuries. Most teams tend to carry five wide receivers, but the Jets might be forced to carry six by necessity due to a lack of an established punt/kick returner on the main roster.

The 5th WR position:
