It is crazy how much the Atlanta Falcons have overhauled their wide receiver position over the past few years, and even from last year to this year.
Olamide Zaccheaus was a great player but never found chemistry with Desmond Ridder. The Falcons let him walk and brought in Mack Hollins who had a breakout year last year. KhaDarel Hodge was brought back and is a decent depth option and then Damiere Byrd's speed was replaced with Scotty Miller.
I like the signing of Mack Hollins but it still does hurt to lose OZ. I don't think the position has been upgraded much this year but that shouldn't be a huge problem with the scheme. Surprisingly, having Scotty Miller over Damiere Byrd is what sways my decision.
