Depends on how you define your #2. Snead's not a redzone target like Thomas or a threat to score from anywhere on the field like Cooks was but he's a great possession receiver. He's the go to guy when you need a first down. Think of a Julian Edleman type role.

He had a 69% catch percentage, which is outstanding.

Cooks got a first down 38% of the times he was targeted. By comparison Snead got a first down 49% of the times he was targeted.

Cooks got targeted 13 more times than Snead but Snead made 6 more first downs.

If you look at all Snead's stats for last season, he had great numbers for a #2 and he was the third option. Most teams would've loved to get those numbers from their #2 receiver.

Touchdowns get all the glory but you also gotta have someone you can count on to move the chains.

My point being, Snead is an excellent #2 receiver. His stats as the third option were better that most team's second option.

Both receivers have good completion percentages. Cooks 66.6%, Snead 69.4% last season.

I'm curious though, why would you say it's comparing apples to oranges?
