Power Ranking Top 10 Returning WRs for 2016 College Football Season

College football's passing game is more alive than ever, thanks in large part to the depth of wide receivers.

Many of the best depart from last year, but that's nothing new. The well is stocked deep enough to replenish itself, especially given some of the upperclassmen who could have, but didn't, declare for the NFL draft.

This ranking looks mostly backward but also forward, assessing players on past performance with an eye toward how they'll perform in 2016. Its a preseason ranking of receivers we would choose to build our team around, not a prediction of who will post the highest numbers.
