AFC South power ranking: Where do Jaguars wide receivers stand?

The Jacksonville Jaguars’ wide receiver corps underwent a makeover this offseason, so where does the unit rank in the AFC South ahead of training camp?

The Jaguars knew they need to give Trevor Lawrence better weapons if they wanted to put him in a position to succeed. That’s why they signed Christian Kirk and Zay Jones in the free agency.

But are the Jaguars’ wide receiver corps much better in 2022? How do they stack against their division foes? With that in mind, here’s how each wide receiver unit in the AFC South ranks ahead of training camp:

AFC South wide receiver ranking: Tennesse Titans

The Tennesse Titans have one of the top 2 running backs in the NFL and arguably the best safety tandem in the division. They also have a serviceable quarterback in Ryan Tannehill but when it comes to their wider receiver corps, there’s much left to be desired.

The Titans aren’t known as a pass-heavy team. Instead, they let Derrick Henry wear down opposing defenses to win games. The running back known as the King was having a productive season in 2021 before suffering a foot injury that forced him to miss nine games last year. He returned for the playoffs but wasn’t nearly as effective.

Henry says he’s “definitely fueled” heading into the 2022 season but if he once again has to miss time or isn’t as dominant as he’s previously been, the Titans may need to throw the ball more often, which could turn out to be a tough task when you take into account that they traded A.J. Brown to the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this year. They did acquire Robert Woods from the Los Angeles Rams but he’s coming off a season-ending knee injury, so it’s hard to tell if he will be 100 percent by Week 1.

To make matters worse, rookie Treylon Burks has had an uninspiring offseason. He still has time to turn the corner before the start of the 2022 season but the Titans’ wide receiver corps doesn’t precisely inspire confidence right now.
