Chiefs CP Opinion: top receiving options in 2014

Discuss Thrower · 04-22-2014, 12:14 PM

Watching highlights of the 2013 season, it seems that the Reid offense calls for spreading the ball around to any and all available receivers. We saw it to a maddening degree in the Tennessee game with Chad Hall getting his number called (entirely way too many times) as well as Junior Hemingway coming up with TD catches in the season opener and in the final contest against Denver even though he and Hall would be special teamers on more talented rosters.

KC made use of the FB(!) they traded for in the passing game, and continued to throw at McGrath after Fasano returned.

But for every "unsung hero" type of receiver making plays, the offense lived and died with Jamaal and Dwayne Bowe, and the absent Dexter McCluster was behind the aforementioned stars in total receptions. Behind the top three receivers in orders of total catches: Avery, McGrath, Fasano, Sherman, Hemingway, Davis, Jenkins, Gray, Kevin Brock, Chad Hall. Jamaal led with 7 TDs, Bowe with 5, Fasano 3 and Hemingway, Avery, McCluster with 2 apiece and Sherman with a TD.

Go on record: vote for who you think will be the top three in receptions in 2014 and ballpark their scoring and yardage. It's not like you have anything else better to do anyway. If selecting the 2014 draft / FA selections, take a stab at who you think it might be.

Poll forthcoming.
