First, most of us believe that hands are THE MOST IMPORTANT asset for a WR in GD. 99% of the coaches that don't are the ones that believe NOTHING matters, are at least say they do.
That said...for my "short yardage back" (3rd & short / DIA) I use the RB with the most strength that has at least 50 speed & elusiveness. For my "3rd down back" (3rd long / DIA) I use the back that has the best combo of hands & elusiveness, plus I also like some speed.
My "slot receiver" is one of my most important offensive weapons (I run a lot of trips). He MUST have good hands, elusiveness & strength. Blocking becomes important IF I run a lot out of trips. Hope this helps.
Trust me, hands don't matter.
Spd and Elu is all you need at receiver
