If you want receivers who catch plenty of passes, while at the same time staying out of the end zone, there are plenty of options available right now. There are guys who catch plenty of passes while simultaneously not getting used much around the goal line.
These are the guys, over the last 20 years, who've average over 25 catches per touchdown in a three-year period. Call them the anti-playmakers.
I'm showing all the receivers who've caught 150-plus passes in a three-year period, while simultaneously scoring on fewer 4 percent of their receptions.
Jason Avant and Brian Hartline, who are on current streaks, come in at first and second on the list. Danny Amendola also shows up, and he's looking for a new team right now.
