Really?

Of those players who had either over 10 receptions or 100 yards receiving:

#1 Pass Offense = NO
WR = 56.9% of receptions, 66.3% of receiving yards
TE. = 13.8% of receptions, 14.8% of receiving yards
RB. = 29.3% of receptions, 18.9% of receiving yards

#2 Pass Offense = WAS
WR = 49.8% of receptions, 58.5% of receiving yards
TE. = 27.1% of receptions, 25.6% of receiving yards
RB. = 15.1% of receptions, 15.9% of receiving yards

#3 Pass Offense = ATL
WR = 58.3% of receptions, 63.9% of receiving yards
TE. = 14.4% of receptions, 15.0% of receiving yards
RB. = 27.3% of receptions, 21.1% of receiving yards

#4 Pass Offense = NE
WR = 51.2% of receptions, 54.5% of receiving yards
TE. = 21.7% of receptions, 27.8% of receiving yards
RB. = 27.1% of receptions, 17.7% of receiving yards

#5 Pass Offense = IND
WR = 48.5% of receptions, 57.4% of receiving yards
TE. = 29.5% of receptions, 28.9% of receiving yards
RB. = 22.0% of receptions, 13.7% of receiving yards

I am not positive that I am ready to just cut all our WRs in order to play all TEs all season long. WRs still count for around 50-60% of the top team's passing game; the TE/RB ratio is bound to be determined by the offensive scheme.

Also, of the top offenses, the Colts used their TEs more than any of the other top teams. You might want to start becoming a fan of our TEs because they got the job done when asked to do so.

Cheers,
