Corey Coleman and new acquisition, Kenny Britt, should fill in the roles of WR1 and WR2, respectively. After that, the depth chart is a bit of a jumble with talent less-proven able to step into the slot receiver role.
- Veteran Andrew Hawkins, who was predominantly the Browns only slot receiver for the past three seasons, was released this offseason.
- The Browns’ 2016 YPRR (Yards Per Route Run) in the slot is significantly lower than the league average in each of the past three seasons.
- Four out of five teams with a top five player in YPRR made the playoffs.
