There is no such thing as too many weapons on offense. The modern NFL has made this fact clear above all others.

In an era where offense is king, having as many pass-catchers as possible is an easy way to ensure your quarterback is in the best position to succeed. 

In many ways, the Detroit Lions having such a deep wide receiver room in 2022 was one of the biggest reasons why the team was so successful on offense.

However, players leave and depth charts shift, and the loss of DJ Chark was set to hurt the Lions somewhat offensively.

Chark wasn't one of the top guys, but the Lions were starting to develop a quality rotation with Amon-Ra St. Brown, Kalif Raymond, Josh Reynolds, and Chark.

Now, Chark is out, Jameson Williams is back, and the Lions were able to bring Marvin Jones Jr. back.

Where does this leave the depth chart?

Based on all available data, St. Brown and Williams should shoulder the majority of the load offensively.

This makes sense as the top duo (even if there are formations where there are three receivers on the field) and that leads to a situation where there is a three-way competition to earn that WR3 job.

Raymond made a compelling case last season, but Jones has history on his side. Between these two, Jones' time in the league and at such a high level is going to work to his benefit, but don't let this make anyone think that Raymond won't play a role in this offense. 

Jones likely wins the WR3 job during the preseason, Raymond then takes the WR4 job, and that leaves Josh Reynolds as the fifth.

Reynolds isn't bad. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. In fact, Reynolds looking like the fifth guy should tell you everything you need to know about this WR room; it's going to be stacked.

Finally, that leaves a spot or two for a rookie and Quintez Cephus to fight over, and that is far from a bad problem to have.

Injuries hurt the Lions on offense last season. It doesn't look like they are going to have that problem again.
