I got bored and conjured this up. Basically, it's just receiving yards adjusted to the median number of passing attempts by team (589) relative to the reception share of an offense. If a receiver catches 8% of passing attempts, then 8% of 589 attempts will be caught for purposes of this list. Because of how it's ordered, it will implicitly include injuries. Additionally, there will be no RB or FB's, nor WR's and TE's below 30 receptions. What this does not attempt to do is normalize for QB, Weapons, OL, etc. For example, I don't think anyone here would claim Delanie Walker is better than Gronkowski, but it's still worth noting what Walker did nonetheless.

The purpose is mostly just an attempt to normalize for passing attempts which had a range of over 200. The Vikings' (least attempts) receiving totals should not be viewed in the same prism as the Ravens (most attempts) when it comes to production. Yes, I don't normalize for QB's and what not, but that can be debated in the comments below. Plus, this is interesting to look at.

Seattle's top 4 receiving threats are very, very dangerous and underrated, imo. Lot of bluster about UDFA's, but Kearse and Baldwin are a pretty solid duo before you even add in Lockett and Graham.

12. Baldwin
42. Kearse
47. Lockett (Rookie)
53. Graham (injury shortened)

Yah. Graham isn't underrated and Lockett isn't underrated (Seattle just under utilized Lockett early in the season but he still won ROY on ST).

That said Baldwin/Kearse are WAY underrated. Both hauled in 70%+ of their targets. Baldwin I believe was the hottest fantasy player the 2nd half of the season. If Baldwin puts up #s similar to last season Seattle may have to pay more than they were hoping. He could emerge as a true #1 and he'll get paid...

That's without Lynch, without Rawls, and with a crap O-Line mind you.
