Last season was a rough one for the Detroit Lions at wide receiver, at least to begin the year. Late-season addition Josh Reynolds and a fantastic finish by rookie Amon-Ra St. Brown helped salvage some dignity, but the Lions’ WR corps was consistently–and accurately–rated near the bottom of the NFL.
That’s changed in 2022. Reynolds is back, St. Brown is more established. And that duo is joined by speedy free agent DJ Chark and first-round rookie Jameson Williams, with his sky-high talent ceiling once he returns from knee surgery. Last year’s Week 1 starter, Quintez Cephus, sits no higher than fifth on the depth chart.
The folks over at For The Win ranked the wide receiving corps of all 32 NFL teams. The revamped Lions came in 18th overall.
