[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 839300"] I think of the #6 WR as a developmental player you like who you think will get signed by another team for their roster if you cut him, thereby not making it to the practice squad. It might take two injuries for that guy to get on the game day roster. It is not an easy thing putting together 45 guys to cover injuries at all position groups, work in rotation, and handle special teams. And there are not a lot of things for WRs to do on special teams: returns and gunner are about it. So it depends on what you mean by "#6". For example, if you regard a Davis or a Shepherd as the 6th. best receiver and St. Brown as the 5th. best catcher of the football, while Davis or Shepherd is on the game day roster to return kicks and punts, then that player is the de facto #5 WR, not Brown, assuming Kumerow is the #4 who will get some some snaps even without an injury: the occasional 4-wide, a guy needs a blow for a few snaps, a guy takes a hard hit and needs to sit a few plays. WRs don't often take every snap. It's the #5 that has to have special teams ability even if he is the 6th. best pass catcher. The #6 CB is a similar situation. [/QUOTE]
