Uh, I'm guessing some of you folks were bad at reading directions in school. These rankings were offensive arsenals, not team rankings.

6. Dallas Cowboys
2018 rank: No. 30 | 2017: No. 5

Talk about a swing! The Cowboys headed into 2018 with Ezekiel Elliottand a laughably bad receiving corps, but one year later, there's a lot to like for Dak Prescott. The trade for Amari Cooper revitalized Dallas's passing game; Prescott posted a 104.6 passer rating with the star wideout on the field and an 86.8 rating with Cooper sidelined or in Oakland. Michael Gallup got better as the year went along, finishing with a 119-yard performance against the Rams during the postseason.

Jason Witten might not have much left in the tank at age 37 after returning from a year of broadcasting, Dallas' starting tight ends last season posted a combined line of 38 catches for 345 yards and one touchdown. Even a limited Witten should be a comfortable upgrade in offensive coordinator Kellen Moore's offense.

Offensive arsenal rankings, not Team rankings

Thanks for posting anyway!

The funny part is he had the Giants at #2 last year
If you look at the arsenal they started the season with, it was pretty good.
Odell Beckham, Saquan Barkley, Evan Engram, Shepard
The list is only about weapons, so that was not too bad at all. But Eli, the line and coach all failed to get much out of them

4. Philadelphia Eagles
2018 rank:
No. 7 | 2017: No. 17
I don't think anybody is deeper at the skill positions across the board than Doug Pederson's team.

The thread title is misleading as the article is about the worst to best arsenals, ie receiving corps. Not about worst to best overall teams.

Gonzalez could probably still be playing. TEs have the size advantage over the guys covering them. Witten has been a tank his entire career. I think he could be an average to good TE for years.

But the stick routes and comebacks were brutal for his YPT. He needs to be catching the ball on the move, preferable with some angle downfield. Y-option. No Beasley should free up more underneath space for Witten to work with.

2 points about this garbage:

The writer is obviously a giants fan. (But Sydia is obviously not)

He should have named his article NFL offensive player rankings. He values WR's, TE's and RB's over anything else. He doesn't even mention the QB's or the defenses.
