Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver corps: Midseason rankings
52. . . . Dede Westbrook. 5. player
The Jacksonville Jaguars have good depth at wide receiver.
After being a healthy scratch for most of the 2020 season, Dede Westbrook sustained a serious injury against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 7 and the team has placed them on the injured reserve list. We don’t know when he will recover and when he will take the field again.
This season, Westbrook had just caught one pass for four yards before his injury, but he hauled in 66 reception in both 2018 and 2019. He was a key contributor for the team before the team revamped their wide receiver corps. While his future with the team remains uncertain, his health is more important right now.
. . . Chris Conley. 4. player. 52
It’s easy to forget about six-year veteran Chris Conley with all the youngsters the Jaguars currently have in their wide receiver group. Originally a third-round selection for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2015, the Georgia product signed a two-year deal with the ‘Jags’ in 2019.
So far, Conley has hauled in 15 receptions for 224 yards and one touchdown. Even though he’s dropped two passes in 2020, he has been reliable for the most part. While he isn’t one of the top options for the team, he provides invaluable depth.
. D.J. Chark. 3. player. 52. .
Who would’ve thought that the Jaguars 2019 leading receiver would currently rank third in 2020? The fact that D.J. Chark missed the team’s Week 3 matchup against the Miami Dolphins plays a part in that, but the LSU standout has been his efficient self.
Chark has hauled in 26 receptions for 291 yards and three touchdowns in six games this season. The only reason his production hasn’t been better is the addition of first-round wide receiver Laviska Shenault and the rise of Keelan Cole.
