i really don't get these rankings
lowest in completions, lowest attempts, lowest catch %, lowest first downs, middle of the road yards, ypa, and td but still is rated 3rd best?
should be moss-welker-cooks-gordon-lloyd and i could argue lloyd over gordon based on the huge diff in first downs.
They are ranked by a rate stat (passer rating), so counting stats like comps, attempts, first downs and yards only matter in the sense of efficiency.
Furthermore your description of lowest catch% is misleading. In actuality, there are two tiers of relative equals; it matter that Gordon is in the lower tier, but not where he falls within it.
Lastly, YPA and avoidance of ints are huge for passer rating, which explains why passes to Gordon grade out as being better than those to Welker.
You could argue that passer rating is the right stat to align them by, and I wouldn't put up much of a fuss. But when you understand the mechanics of how PR there is nothing surprising out how the WRs get ranked.
