Devin Funchess is emerging as a legitimate No. 1 wide receiver

Through five games Devin Funchess is averaging 4.6 receptions and 62.4 receiving yards per game, both of which are career-highs for the fourth-year wide receiver. If Funch can stay on this pace for the rest of the year his 16-game season totals will be 73 receptions for 998 yards. For the sake of easy math, let’s round up and say Devin ends the season with 75 receptions and 1,000 yards. Crossing this 75-1,000 threshold would put Funchess among the most productive receivers in the game.

Per Football Reference, in 2017 only 10 wide receivers had at least 75 receptions and 1,000 receiving yards, including some of the game’s elites:
