If I'm counting Kelce but not bothering with other teams' TEs, so being generous, I'd probably say from the AFC off the top of my head:
- Bills might have a marginally better top 2 but honestly not convinced beyond Diggs
- Dolphins - Have a better 1-3 with Hill, Waddle and Wilson vs Kelce, MVS, Moore/Juju - but worse depth beyond that
- Jets - Are Wilson, Moore and Davis better as a 3? Maybe. Trash beneath that
- Patriots - Lol, nope. Absolute garbage
- Bengals - Top 3 are obviously better but not sure they have better depth beyond that
- Browns - We're far better 1-6
- Ravens - We're far better 1-6
- Steelers - We'll see what Pickens offers, their 2-3rd options might be better, but then their depth is poorer.
- Colts - I like Pittman but we're better 1-6
- Titans - Have shat on their WR core, we're better 1-6 unless Burks turns out elite
- Chargers - Might have a better 1-2 but what do they have afterwards? Pure JAGs
- Broncos - Rank mediocrity even if Jeudy takes a step forward
- Raiders - Yep, better 1-3 with Waller but worse depth.
Obviously just the AFC and there's loads of talented receivers elsewhere, but the more i look at it the less terrified I am of other AFC teams' options at WR.I say that as someone who is not particularly high on MVS, Juju or Hardman.

I can appreciate depth, but a healthy star #1 AND #2 WR is worth more than depth all the way through your #6 WR I think.
Our squad is currently filled with good #2 and #3 WRs, plus some some high upside fliers. By the end of this season, I wouldn't be surprised if Moore was our best WR. Maybe we add a RD 1 WR next year and he and Moore are our new WR Core moving forward + whichever additional guys from this year stick.
