To the New England Patriots’ credit, they made moves this offseason to address the sorry state of their wide receiver depth chart.
But to the continued dismay of Patriots fans, the results once again were mediocre at best in last week’s season opener against the Las Vegas Raiders.
While well ahead of schedule, Stefon Diggs looked like a player who’s still not quite right following last year’s torn ACL. Third-round rookie Kyle Williams was on the field for just five passing snaps, per PFF's count. Slot receiver DeMario Douglas was a surprising non-factor, and new addition Mack Hollins was a no-show.
