Re-Drafting the Wide Receivers From the 2014 NFL Draft Using Advanced Analytics
In a loaded draft for wideouts, who will lay claim to the title of best pass-catcher in the class?

T6. Jordan Matthews

CarAV: 19

As another second-round pick, Jordan Matthews has done well for himself early on in his career. While he hasn't had any more than 997 yards in a single season, he has grabbed at least 67 balls at a catch rate of 65%, resulting in a total of 19 touchdowns.

Compared to a rookie campaign that ended in an AV of 6, Matthews' 2015 and 2016 -- both producing season AVs of 7 -- have been a little more valuable for the Philadelphia Eagles. He's averaged 121.5 targets and 79 receptions between the two seasons, securing 5.3 catches per contest.
