Brees has completed between 422 to 468 passes in each of the past 6 seasons. Try a distribution guess for this year using 445. Remember to leave 20-30 for OTHERS at the bottom of the roster.

Last year for reference
84 Cooks
74 Watson
69 Snead
50 Ingram
45 Colston
34 Spiller
30 Coleman
17 Robinson
16 Hill
12 Hightower
11 Hooman
09 Cadet
05 Johnson
04 Graham

My guess
Cooks 90
Fleener 75
Thomas 71
Snead 64
Ingram 55
Siller 40
Hill 20
OTHERS 20
Coleman 10

I like how you re-did the OP content as a reply, instead of just editing the OP.

Snead
Thomas
Cooks
Fleener
Bunch of other guys

I think Cooks and Fleener for the lead in TD's.
Cooks the big strike guy.
Thomas like Snead will be Drew's go to guy.
Thomas, Cooks and Fleener will begin to be targeted by the def more as the season goes on and Snead will be the guy underneath racking up catches.

Tired now.

barring injuries, I think we could see the most concentration of receptions at the top by the starters in a few years. My take is Cooks continues natural progression, Fleener does Jimmy Graham numbers or better, and Thomas surpasses the rookie numbers of Colston. Snead improves but there are only so many targets to go around. Guessing Coleman gone in 2017. My biggest question is does Spiller bounce back or is he just used up? Ingram had 3 less receptions in 12 games than he had in his first 4 seasons combined. Continued blossoming as a receiving threat could see his overall numbers go up as the bell cow.

Willie Snead and Michael Thomas will not have more catches than Cooks assuming they all play 16. You must have been one of those idiots that said Cooks will be third in receptions last season

I could see snead getting more receptions than Cooks, but fewer yards.

Not an insane prediction.

I said what I did not because what someone said what you said they said last year.

Cooks looks like a great deep threat next year. Thomas looks to be line for the big target guy. Fleener a big strike guy down the middle as well. So I think Snead can and will be a dependable target as he as already proven in just one season.

Its all guesses you know. Right?
