20. Carolina Panthers

Robby Anderson has emerged as a complete wide receiver after pulling in 95 catches for 1,096 yards in his first season with the Carolina Panthers. He’s one of two wideouts capable of crossing the 1,000-yard mark in Carolina since D.J. Moore has now done so twice — netting 1,175 yards in 2019 and 1,193 in 2020.

If there was any issue, it’s their ability to get in the end zone. Moore has never caught more than four touchdowns in a season and Anderson had three for the Panthers last season.

They hope the addition of Sam Darnold will help them get even better in 2021 and that could happen.

19. Green Bay Packers

The Green Bay Packers nearly lost Aaron Rodgers due in large part to their lack of receivers around Davante Adams, who is truly one of the best in the NFL. Adams was insane this last season, pulling in 115 receptions for 1,374 yards and 18 touchdowns.

Behind him was Marquez Valdes-Scantling who had 690 yards and six touchdowns while averaging 20.9 yards per catch. He’s a solid player but fits best as a No. 3 guy, which he might be now that Randall Cobb is back.

Cobb seemed to be the addition that kept Rodgers happy but he’s not the player he once was. Perhaps he will turn back the clock in Green Bay, but right now this receiving corps seems similar to what we saw in 2020.
