Bart Hubbuch’s playoff rankings
The Post continues its examination of certain aspects of the NFL playoff teams. Here’s a look at the RECEIVING CORPS:
1. Packers
Jordy Nelson, Davante Adams and Randall Cobb have a whopping 232 catches and 30 receiving TDs combined. RB Ty Montgomery is a converted receiver, and tight ends Richard Rodgers and Jared Cook are dangerous.
2. Steelers
Antonio Brown is just the best of a long list of Pittsburgh’s big-play receiving threats. And if that wasn’t enough to worry about, Le’Veon Bell has 75 catches out of the backfield.
3. Falcons
Julio Jones, Mohamed Sanu and Taylor Gabriel are all deep threats, the running backs are all capable pass-catchers and the three-headed crew of tight ends has eight TD catches combined.
4. Dolphins
Miami is built to last at receiver with rising young stars Jarvis Landry, DeVante Parker and Kenny Stills. Jay Ajayi has good hands out of the backfield, and tight end Dion Sims is a reliable fallback weapon.
5. Lions
Detroit really hasn’t missed a beat after Calvin Johnson’s retirement. Golden Tate, Marvin Jones and Anquan Boldin are all prolific outside, and tight end Eric Ebron can be dangerous. The loss of running back Theo Riddick (67 catches) will hurt, though.
6. Cowboys
With Dez Bryant and Cole Beasley leading the way, depth in the passing game is certainly not a problem for Dallas, but opponents don’t have to worry about the Cowboys stretching the field. Dak Prescott’s longest pass play all season to a receiver or tight end was just 56 yards.
7. Giants
The trio of Odell Beckham Jr., Victor Cruz and rookie Sterling Shepard looks intimidating on paper. But Beckham tends to disappear for long stretches, the Giants still struggle mightily to score and the tight ends and running backs are below average receivers.
8. Patriots
New England has a lot of options even without Rob Gronkowski and will add to that in the playoffs with the expected return of Danny Amendola. The Patriots also have an exciting X-factor in Michael Floyd.
9. Raiders
Michael Crabtree and Amari Cooper are a dynamic outside duo with 172 catches and 13 receiving TDs between them, and Clive Walford is an underrated tight end. But Oakland is too topheavy in the passing game, and none of it will probably matter with Derek Carr out.
10. Chiefs
Sensational rookie Tyreek Hill is becoming a home-run threat at all times, tight end Travis Kelce is as reliable and productive as they come and the backs can all catch. But Jeremy Maclin is hurt and the wideout corps is thin.
11. Seahawks
Seattle’s 1-2 punch of wideout Doug Baldwin and tight end Jimmy Graham is formidable, but Tyler Lockett’s seasonending injury could be a killer.
12. Texans
There’s not much here behind DeAndre Hopkins and tight end C.J. Fiedorowicz, and Hopkins is catching just 52 percent of his targets — one of the lowest percentages in the league for a No. 1 WR.
