Goedert only caught 3 more passes than Hurst, but obviously did more with those catches. Brown and Smith both played 17 games, unlike Chase. Goedert + Watkins caught 22 fewer passes than Hurst and Boyd, which left more opportunities for Smith and Brown. Smith and Brown had like 40 more targets than Chase and Higgins.
The total yardage comparison across the top two wide receivers doesn’t tell the whole story. Both duos are sensational any way you look at it.

Absolutely correct. In no way was I trying to diminish the Cin receivers. Only that some here were underestimating both Brown and Smith.
