Wisdom of Crowds: Wide Receiver Edition

Adam Steele is back with a long-awaited wide receiver edition of his beloved Wisdom of Crowds exercise. We thank him for the beautiful discussion it will prompt.


It’s been a few years since FP has run a Wisdom of the Crowds exercise, and this time around we’re going to do wide receivers.

For anyone wanting to submit a ballot, there are a handful of simple rules:

  1. You have 200 points to distribute among your choices for the greatest wide receivers of all time. The criteria for greatness is entirely up to you, and explanations in the comments are encouraged. You can use half points (but nothing smaller than that).
  2. No WR may be assigned more than 15 points. This is done to prevent a few over-weighted ballots from skewing the results.
  3. The maximum number of WR’s you may list is 50, but it’s okay to list fewer than that as long as the points sum to 200.
  4. Players whose career began before 1935 are not eligible because the earliest days of the NFL were too different from the modern game to make fair comparisons.
  5. Please compose and submit your ballot before reading anyone else’s.
  6. Ballots will be accepted for two weeks after the day this is posted.
