The 4A Club Post-Regular Season Player Rankings: Receivers

Every four weeks I like to take a look at the landscape of Class 4A football and come up with my own player rankings based on statistics. How I come up with my ratings is a system based on pro-football-reference.com’s “Approximate Value” system of ratings they use for overall performance during a season. For this article, I’m taking a look at my top 20 Class 4A Wide Receivers, my top 10 Slot Receivers, plus some analysis on my top 5 overall receivers as well.   *Stats are up to Week 8*   #1.
