Auburn's need for Wide Receivers

[StatTiger 3,188]

Outside of Ja'Varrius Johnson, no other WR has proven to be a consistent playmaker. It is the primary reason Auburn has not fielded a 100-yard receiver during 21 consecutive games, the longest drought from 1987-2023.

Taking the leading WR in "yardage" per game, the 2022 receivers ranked 35th among the last 37 Auburn offenses in yardage per game (53.0). The 2023 WR's currently rank 36th with 51.0 yards per game. The average is 73.7 YPG from 1987-2023.

Rating the WR Corps from 1992-2023:

The rating formula is based on yards per game, yards per reception, TD ratio, and impact-play ratio.
