I'm not predicting 54 catches for him because between Spiller and Hill I think he will see fewer targets than that scenario. That was just a what if to show how it is possible and quite reasonable if we decide to give him that big a share of Graham's targets.

I'm still pegging him for around 40 catches. I see Hill as much more of an x factor and could see him getting anywhere between 30-70 depending on just how good he looks. This is a guy that caught only 14 balls last year, 6 less than the finished Watson.

I expect Spiller to see first year Bush/Sproles type targets so that leaves a good portion of targets to divide among Colston, Cooks, and whoever else plays WR. I think Colston and Cooks each break 80 catches at least.

Of course all of this depends on health. Had Cooks stayed healthy we would have seen very near four 900+ yard guys (Graham falling just shy with Cooks on pace to go over). This year I only see three guys getting that close or over 1,000: Colston, Cooks, and Spiller.

I'd be shocked if Watson surpasses 35 catches. I'd happily bet you on that over/under, but I'd feel like I was stealing from you if I did.

My guestimation

Colston 65-85 receptions(He had 60 last year, with about 15 drops)
Cooks 90-110 receptions
Hill 40-60 receptions
Watson 20-40 receptions

I'm sure that Spiller will get a lot of receptions, but I really have no clue to even guess. I think Colston and Cooks both go over 1,000 yards. The 3rd leading receiver will be Spiller or Josh Hill. Hopefully Toon can add about 40 catches...or Seantavius Jones/Brandon Coleman breaks out. We need someone to step up as the #3 WR...plus we have Joe Morgan and his 6 catches for 300+ yards. Also, Josh Morgan has been a good #4 WR before...maybe he does it again here.
