I would accept those production parameters for elite WR status, zn, but I would also include touchdowns with 9 being the minimum.
Every time I discuss this (going back to 2007 btw) people mention TDs. They (and you) are probably right, though I don't know about 9. There are only 8 WRs in the entire league who got 9 or more. I would actually go with 4-5 at a minimum. That might chop the list down to around 18-20 guys.
BTW, just one vocabulary thing. I can't can't call this "elite status" because part of the whole point is to distinguish high-end talent, elite WRs from regular #1 WRs who just get the job done and produce without elite level skills. So as I say a lot, most elite WRs are #1s, but not every #1 is elite.

I didn't make it clear that I meant an elite level of production. I would consider 70/1000 with 9 TDs elite level production. I think Keenan Allen, when he's healthy, produces at an elite level though he's not physically elite. The year the Rams had Brandon Lloyd, he seemed like he could have produced at an elite level with a full season.
