Best WR? Insiders love Antonio Brown, but it's not unanimous

Who is the best receiver in the NFL? Statistically speaking, it's Antonio Brown, but stats only tell part of the story.

DeAndre Hopkins hasn't played a full season with anyone close to Ben Roethlisberger's talent throwing him the ball. Yet Hopkins is fifth in receptions, third in receiving yards and third in receiving touchdowns since the start of 2015. Hopefully Deshaun Watson will show what Hopkins can do with a full season of catching passes from a dynamic QB. In just seven games before Watson tore his ACL last November, Hopkins caught seven touchdown passes, the most he has from any quarterback.
