I think ARE is a solid WR3. I think he did about as good as you can expect this year.

I took each team's top two WRs by receptions. Washington's WR1 and WR2 (Moss and ARE) were below league average in receptions, yards per game, plays over 40 yards, and plays over 20 yards. Only Miami had less TD receptions from their top 2 WRs. The only area they fared well was in YPC, where they were 10th.

Overall, the WRs did not produce what this offense needed. Of course, there could be other reasons for this. But, I think you have to look at the WRs and say they need help. And, of the two who are currently starting, ARE takes a back seat to Moss.

I guess the other issue I see at receiver is the difficulty involved with acquiring a good receiver. It seems like so many top-pick receivers have simply not panned out. I think there are safer bets in the draft than receiver.

True.

Personally, I wouldn't mind trading for an established receiver. Roy Williams has said he wants out. There may be others who are a little cheaper.
