I decided to take a look at each teams WR corps and how they stack up against the other teams in the league. Some teams only have 2 WRs, and some teams choose to play a RB as their third WR. I took each teams top 3 receivers and broke down each of their important attributes for playing the wide receiver position. I took the averages of each of those attributes on each team to figure out which teams receivers are best at what.
Strength:
- 50.33
- 44.33
- 43.33
- 36.66
- 34
- 29.33
The Otters boast the strongest receiving corps in the league and it isn't really close. All three of their receiving options have 50 strength, with two of them having 51 strength. The SaberCats have the strongest receiver in the league with Bailey Cook's 58 strength, but Shane Weston brings their average down with his league lowest 25 strength. The Yeti don't have a single receiver with over 33 strength while also having D.J. Law tied for lowest strength in the league for a receiver at 25.
Agility:
- 72.33
- 72.33
- 70.33
- 66.66
- 66
- 66
The Wraiths and Yeti tie for having the highest agility among their receiving options with an average of 72.33. The Wraiths are led by Josh Garden, who with his 77 has the highest agility of any receiver. They also have the second most agile receiver in the league in Alexandre LeClair coming in with 75 agility. The only thing keeping them from the top spot is receiving back, Teez Tobin serving as their slot receiver. His 65 agility brings them down to a tie with the Yeti. The Yeti have a much more balanced trio when it comes to their agility. None of their receivers has lower than 70 agility and their highest agility receiver is D.J. Law with 74 in that attribute. On the other end of things we have the Outlaws and Otters in a tie for least agile receiving corps. Both teams have just one player with 70 agility, and the Outlaws have the least agile receiver in the league with Lincoln Jefferson's 62 agility.
Intelligence:
- 51.33
- 49.33
- 49
- 48.66
- 44
- 41.33
The SaberCats come out on top as the most intelligent receiving corps in the league. None of their receivers have less than 50 intelligence and Shane Weston leads the team with 53 intelligence. The highest intelligence receiver in the league is Bradley Westfield of the Otters with 61 intelligence. If not for their running back, Omar Wright playing the slot for them their intelligence score would be much higher. His 30 intelligence is the lowest among any player in this chart and single handedly knocks the Otters down to fourth in the intelligence rankings. Coming in in the six spot is the Outlaws, who's most intelligent receiver only has 42 intelligence and their lowest intelligence receiver has just 40 intelligence.
Speed:
- 81.66
- 80.33
- 76
- 75.33
- 75.33
- 75
Now we get to see why the Outlaws are so low in the other categories. It's clear their focus as a receiving corps has been on speed. They have the fastest player in the league in Stormblessed, boasting an impressive 85 speed, and both of their other receivers have 80 speed. Multiple teams don't even have a single receiver with 80 speed on their rosters. Right behind them is the Otters, led by Omar Wright who makes up for destroying their intelligence score by leading them in the speed category with 83 speed. Bradley Westfield is their slowest receiver with 78 speed while Robert Phelps comes in with a strong 80 speed himself. The SaberCats are led by Shane Weston with 79 speed but Bailey Cook hurts them here with just 71 speed, only showing up faster than Wraiths receiving back, Teez Tobin who has 70 speed.
Hands:
- 74
73.33
- 70
- 64.33
- 62.66
- 61.33
The Yeti just barely edge out the Hawks as being the most sure handed group of receivers in the NSFL. Led by Jonathan Shaloiko's 77 hands, good for best in the league, and Kendrick Hendrix's 75 hands the group is not going to drop many balls. D.J. Law has the lowest hands on their team and it is still a respectable 70. The Otters and SaberCats are both brought down by the running backs playing receiver. Both teams have two strong receivers as their #1 and #2 options but when we look at their running backs playing the slot the hands attribute takes a big drop off. On the Otters, Omar Wright crushes their score with a lowly 42 in hands, and on the SaberCats they get sabotaged by Demetrius Wiley's league low 40 hands. The Wraiths on the other hand have receiving running back, Teez Tobin playing the slot but he has a solid 70 hands, helping put the Wraiths in third place for this category.
Endurance:
- 67
- 67
- 66.33
- 65
- 64
- 62.66
The Outlaws and Otters tie for the top spot when it comes to their receivers endurance. Both teams have players with 70 endurance, the highest among receivers. The Outlaws have two players with 70 endurance but Stormblessed hurts their score with his 61 endurance, tied with Josh Garden for worst among receivers. On top of Garden's poor endurance, the Wraiths receiver Alexandre LeClair has the next lowest endurance in the league with 62. These two and their lack of endurance put the Wraiths in last place in this category, despite Teez Tobin having 65 endurance.
Overall: This is simply done like a golf score, adding up where each team ranked in each category. Half points were tallied for ties.
- 17

Despite not scoring first in a single attribute, the Hawks come out in first overall thanks to never scoring below fourth. They got second twice and third three times and in the end they come out as the top receiving corps. The Wraiths end up at the bottom of the list thanks to only being in the top three of a category in Hands and Agility. They finished last in one attribute, while scoring in fifth once and fourth twice.
