Why do some WR 1s burn good defenses but not others? Why do some WR 2s get shut down by some good defenses but not others?

Recently I have looked at two divisions (AFC East and NFC East), and the AFC East is one complete mess. I don't know who the number one or two options are.

On the other hand, the NFC East has one, ODB, and then there's the rest. Who is Wentz's go-to guy? Who is Dak's? (and yes I know what Cooper just did, but he isn't consistent). Washington? Alex Smith certainly loved his buddy Davis. Reed was getting absolutely shunned. But for WRs, between Doctson, Crowder, Richardson, and Harris it's hard to know who the number one is/was there.

Let me us Hill as an example. Hill goes off against LAC (week 1 though), NE, Arizona, LAR, and Baltimore. Arizona and Baltimore are good pass defenses, and so is LAC. NE and LAR (they get turnovers) are not though. But Hill does not do much against SF, Denver (either time), Jacksonville(a tough defense at the time), Cincinnati (shocking), Cleveland (a decent defense), and Oakland.

You could say MW is maybe starting to play like his draft position. If Allen is out next week, Williams might be winning some guys their league.

For a number two to have 30 some catches and under 600 he’s a red zone specialists

IDK if number 2 is really what he is... He is more like a if something goes wrong he is the number one guy... Its weird, he disappears more than any other good number 2... But when he is part of the game, he is usually the highest scoring receiver...

IMO this shows 2 things... 1. SD does not really have a #2 WR(they spread the ball too much)
2. SD would be just fine without Keenan Allen... maybe even better off...

That’s fantasy not reality. Most teams want more than 30 catches from a wr 2
My guess is most teams would be tossing more than 4 targets per game to a freak WR they just spent a top 10 pick on, too.

Maybe you know something I don't, but he looks like a beast when they get the ball to him.
I dunno if your open and that good they r gonna get u the ball consistently

Derrick Henry looked like a monster last game but we know he hasn’t been good

We'll see what happens now if Allen misses time. I could see him being a monster now.

Well when you have a guy like Keenan Allen sucking up targets and Tyrell Williams/Travis Benjamin also needing to be fed, I can see how it was hard to get in there. However, I think Rivers is going to not be that upset if he's the new #1.
