Who Were the Worst Starting Wide Receivers in the NFL in 2014?
According to our Net Expected Points metric, which wideouts were worst last year in the NFL?

The premise here is simple: among the NFL wide receivers to log the most playing time in 2014, which ones were worst?

To answer this important question, we can use numberFire's helpful metric called Football Outsiders and pulled the two wide receivers with the most offensive snaps from each team. Then, I only included players that were on the field for at least 60 percent of their team's offensive snaps.

So, that leaves out gadget-type players like OverTheCap.com, and his production obviously doesn't come anywhere close to matching his price.

You'll notice Miami's well-documented struggles in 2014. We knew that he came back to earth following his impressive rookie season, but this is just another reaffirmation of how big the drop was.

It's also important to notice that there are three teams on the above list with multiple offenders -- Tennessee (Nate Washington, Kendall Wright), Jacksonville (Allen Hurns, Cecil Shorts), and Oakland (James Jones, Andre Holmes). Each of these teams had a common denominator - a first-year quarterback under center.
