I think it's an interesting discussion because fans across most message boards think you need a Calvin Johnson or Dez Bryant type as a #1, but the "big" #1 wr seems incredibly overrated to me. I'd take Antonio Brown over every one of those guys given his ability to break one on returns also.
Receiving yards: 2014
1. T.Y. Hilton 5'9'' 178 lb
2. Antonio Brown 5'10" 186 lb
3. Golden Taint 5'10'' 195 lb
4. Demaryius Thomas 6'3" 229 lb
5. Jordy Nelson 6'3" 217 lb
6. Julio Jones 6'3" 220 lb
7. Steve Smith 5'9" 195 lb
8. Dasean Jackson 5'10" 178 lb
9. Emmanuel Sanders 5'11" 180 lb
10. Jeremy Maclin 6'0" 198 lb
Only THREE out of the top 10 (in bold) are what people consider a "big" receiver. People say you need them for the red zone, but you look at the receiver with the most tds and its Randall Cobb, who is 5'10", with 9 tds....then most of the others at the top of the list are tight ends.
The thing I see the most as the common denominator? Franchise QBs (Luck, Manning, Rodgers etc) play for EVERY SINGLE one of those teams, except the Redskins (could argue the Eagles, but Foles looks well on his way and lost his top receiver in Jackson to FA).
What do you guys think?
