I’m doing a daily series to determine what team I feel has the best pass game receivers in the NFL.
I was spurred to the idea when I saw a PFF similar ranking where they had the Eagles as the number one past game/receiver group. I knew that couldn’t be right, in my mind, so then I wondered who we might show as the best pass game/receiver team is in the NFL…maybe it is the Eagles? Thus, we’re here for a quick/fun tournament style series to determine just what team has that best receiver group in 2025.
We’re gonna start out going division by division putting matchups together based on the 2024 regular season standings. And we’re gonna go from division to the conference and onto the Super Bowl/our real winner.
How I’m going to determine a winner in a head-to-head matchup is in a best-of-seven style format, judging six different player matchups.
1) The first matchup in every series is the number one wide receiver head-to-head, BUT that battle is worth two points or two wins in the best of seven series. The number one WOR is so critical and so important that it’s worth double any other match up.
2) The #2-3-4 matchups will be the team’s wide receivers after the number 1WR. So, who I think is the second best wide receiver versus the other team second best, then a battle of the third best, and then a battle of the fourth best wide receiver to show the depth of a team’s receiver group.
3) After we pit all the wide receivers against each other -- then it’s a look at the #1 Tight Ends against each other.
4) Then, lastly, if needed, it’s a matchup of who I think is each team‘s best receiving running back.
So, a total of six matchups but the first one counting double or seven possible points or wins, and the best of seven winning team moves on to the next round/match up.
Not going to give much commentary here, just showing the results and moving the teams on. These are my personal choices, so if you don’t like it... I don’t need to say the rest. It's just for fun/debate.
Patriots v. Bills
Kyle Williams d. Khalil Shakir (NE 2-0)...When it comes down to it, I’d rather have Kyle right now, even as a rookie, than Shakir.
Curtis Samuel d. Stefon Diggs (NE 2-1)...CSam would’ve beaten Shakir too.
Keon Coleman d. Demario Douglas (tie 2-2)
Mack Hollins d. Josh Palmer (NE 3-2)...Mack comes back to haunt his 2024 employer.
Dalton Kincaid d. Hunter Henry (3-3 TIE)
TreVeyon Henderson d. Ty Johnson (NE 4-3 win)
The Patriots move on to the AFC East Finals.
Jets v. Dolphins
Tyreek Hill d. Garrett Wilson (MIA 2-0)
Jaylen Waddle d. Allen Lazard (MIA 3-0)
Malik Washington d. Josh Reynolds (MIA wins 4-0)...one of the only 4-0/all WR sweeps likely in this tournament.
Tyler Johnson d. Malachi Corley (MIA 4-1)
Jonnu Smith d. Jeremy Ruckert/Mason Taylor (MIA 5-1)
De’Von Achane d. Breece Hall (MIA 6-1)
The Dolphins crush the Jets here to move on to face the Patriots.
Patriots v. Dolphins
Tyreek Hill d. Kyle Williams (MIA 2-0)
Jaylen Waddle d. Stefon Diggs (MIA 3-0)
Malik Washington d. Demario Douglas (MIA wins 4-0) people do not realize how good Malik is...two 4-0 sweeps for Miami at the WR spot.
Mack Hollins d. Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (MIA 4-1)
Jonnu Smith d. Hunter Henry (MIA 5-1)
De’Von Achane d. TreVeyon Henderson (MIA 6-1)...Having WR-like Achane is gonna make the Dolphins VERY tough to beat in this tourney.
Miami wins the AFC East and moves on to the AFC Conference Final Four
Tomorrow we do the AFC North.
