NFL wide receiver, tight end, running back rankings for all 32 teams in 2022 - Stacking best and worst offensive playmakers

Once upon a time, defense won championships. In 2021, though, offensive stars were what NFL teams needed to make a run toward the title. Think about the final four. In the NFC, the Rams and 49ers had two of the league's great pass-catchers in Cooper Kupp and George Kittle. Both teams have made a habit of adding targets and backs year after year in the draft and free agency. Odell Beckham Jr., a midseason acquisition for the Rams, caught nine passes for 113 yards in Los Angeles' comeback victory.

Things might have been even clearer in the AFC. The Chiefs, who came in at No. 1 in these rankings during Patrick Mahomes' legendary 2018 season, built their team around Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill. The Bengals came back to beat those Chiefs and nearly win the Super Bowl with their own dynamic duo of Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Two players, chosen in consecutive drafts after the Bengals were the worst team in football, helped drive Cincinnati's stunning turnaround.

Let's dive into an annual tradition and rank each NFL team's offensive playmakers from worst to first. It's hardly an exact science, but until we have actual football to discuss, it's a bit of fun. Keep in mind, though, that this is only considering each team's running backs, wide receivers and tight ends. If you could drop those players into an offense with a league-average quarterback, league-average offensive line, league-average coaching and league-average luck, which team would have the best offense?

I'll throw in a few more rules that I used to help sort through the list:

We're only thinking about performance in 2022. Money and long-term performance don't matter. The only thing being considered here is how a player would be expected to perform during the
