No. 3 Wide Receivers in Separation

They list Tyler Lockett at No. 3 but I had to go back and look at the date to see that it was published yesterday. Is Tyler a No.3 receiver? It was my impression that he was used at No. 2 prior to his injury. Is this just based on how they line up?

He started the season at #3 so I'm thinking NFL.com simply never updated their rosters.

Right, in either case, his separation stat is impressive, let's hope he recovers 100%.

Just as impressive is him being #1 in contested catch situations with his size

Clayton had him at #2 but I don't think he differentiated which # receiver he rated him at.

Unlike Kearse, who seems to rarely be open

I wondered why NFL.com would have an article talking about a nonsense category like "#3 receiver" but then I saw the author is a fantasy writer.

The definition of "No. 3 receiver" was a player who finished with less than 100 targets on the season and saw at least 50 percent of their targets when lined up out wide.

Because that's exactly what people think of when they think about #3 receivers.

Did anyone else notice that Lockett was a 2nd team all-pro this season?
