So compared to your average NFL WR room, if these are your aces then your group is far below average.
Rice might get there but right now that's hope.

But the average NFL team doesn’t have a Kelce. How many teams have more than one consistently elite receiving weapon?
Toney’s injury is what threw things off a bit. And I get that he’s injury-prone, but ideally, he would have been healthy to start the season and carried the load while Rice and others learned. If the injury had happened mid to late season, they’d have been better prepared to absorb it.
At this point, we probably have to view any production from Toney as a bonus. Seems like he’s almost always going to be less than 100%. Hopefully he’ll be at his best for the playoffs. And maybe we’ll even get really lucky and he’ll be 100% within a week or two and kill it the rest of the season. Either way, he was worth the gamble.
I expect Rice to be a consistent producer very soon.
