Where does PFF rank Washington's wide receiver corps for 2021?
Just one year ago, the Washington Football Team didnt have a lot of proven talent at wide receiver outside of Terry McLaurin. Thats another way of saying the unit wasnt very good. Washington suffered bad luck with the loss of Kelvin Harmon before the 2020 season, and Steven Sims Jr. took a major step back after a promising 2019 campaign. Then there was rookie Antonio Gandy-Golden who did nothing in limited opportunities. It wasnt all bad outside of McLaurin, though, as Cam Sims had a bit of a breakout for the Football Team. Sims played in all 16 games, setting new career-highs in receptions (32) and yards (477). But Washington knew it needed more at wide receiver in 2021, which led to the arrival of Curtis Samuel. Samuel set new career highs for the Carolina Panthers last season and can play several roles for the WFT next season. Washington also added veteran slot receiver Adam Humphries and third-round pick Dyami Brown. Well, according to Pro Football Focus, just below the middle of the pack. PFF recently ranked each teams wide receiver corps for 2021 and had the Washington Football Team at No. 19. Heres PFFs explanation:  Last season, Washington wide receivers graded at just 65.9, but theyve taken steps to turn that around. Terry McLaurin is the No. 1 option, though he was used as more of an underneath option after his explosive rookie year. McLaurin is a sure-handed deep threat who should have more opportunities for big plays, in part due to the addition of Curtis Samuel in free agency. Samuel had a breakout 2020 season as the Panthers properly tapped into his skill set as a slot receiver. He had a career-high 76.4 receiving grade while catching 77 passes for 851 yards. Adam Humphries adds a slot skill set as well  hes caught 73.1% of his slot targets over a six-year career. Third-round rookie Dyami Brown adds another vertical threat after averaging over 20.0 yards per reception in each of his last two seasons at North Carolina. Cam Sims had an effective 2020 with 581 yards, though he dropped five of his 44 catchable passes. Last years fourth-rounder, Antonio Gandy-Golden, didnt do much as a rookie, but his size will keep him in the mix to break out. At tight end, Logan Thomas broke out with 77 catches for 744 yards and six touchdowns last season. He had a 64.8 receiving grade and projects similarly as a possession type at the position. The backup role is a battle between Deon Yelder, Temarrick Hemingway, Ricky Seals-Jones and fourth-rounder John Bates. Washington has added some help for McLaurin, and their group of playmakers has much more potential than it had during the last two seasons. While I believe this group has the potential to be much better than No. 19, its tough to disagree at this point. Washington will need to prove it on the field in 2021, and there are questions. If those answers are yes, the Football Team could have a top-10 unit.
