Great Article. WRs are responsible for nearly 70% of our production. Remember over the years how we complained our WRs weren't getting open? So not the case anymore.
Only glaring things these #'s tell me?
We reached big time for Fleener. Of course there was no way we could know Thomas would be who he was at that time but the fact that his pay vs his production doesn't line up is hard to ignore. I can at this point name 2-3 positions on D that money could have gone to. Alas we hit on Thomas and because of that WR crew he hasn't been needed. It's also possible our 3TE set has been limited and thus Fleener role has expanded as a blocker more than we initially thought before Hooman went out. Regardlesss it's nice to know we have a very good WR corps. Games like Denver we prob would have lost a few years ago but these #'s give me hope our top 3 receivers can match up against another teams top 3 CBs and make it work.
FWIW I think Fleener and Snead should have big games this week.
Enjoy!
