Last year we saw a season which one can argue we potentially have 3 1,000 WRs who are capable of this feat. If Watkins is retained (and if you believe he is better than his gained yardage last season) than its suffice to say that there could be a three man race for this feet.
Robert Woods was on pace for 1100 yards before sustaining his shoulder injury. In 12 games, 11 starts, he posted 781 yards. Ending the season against Atlanta with a remarkable 142 yard game. Woods showed me and the rest of the league that he is not just a short to intermediate threat, he showed his solid speed, very good route running, and spectacular hands can make him utilized all over the field. Much like he was at USC. I was pleasantly surprised by Robert Woods and I loooove to eat crow on this.
Cooper Kupp put himself together a very good rookie year! I was clammering about drafting this kid and he even exceeded my expectations for year 1. Despite some hickups along the way with a few crucial drops, Kupp always came back to prove that he is going to be a key target for Mr. Goff for a long time. Kupp finished with a team high 869 receiving yards in 15 games. Games where he had to fill in for Robert Woods, Kupp showed he can rise to the occasion, excelling from the slot and having the ability to make plays on the outside on occasion. Kupp brings a high IQ to the game, knows how to create space with his routes for any range of the field, and is a strong WR who can beat the press. Like Woods, if not for the missed game against SF, Kupp may have been able to breach the 1000 yard mark as a rookie.
Sammy Watkins was pre-thought to be the one most likely to his this mark last season if he managed to stay healthy. Well he did stay healthy but he came up well short of 1,000 yards in 15 games. Finishing with just under 600 yards receiving, Watkins may have been a disappointment for many statistically. He did however lead the team in receiving TDs with 8, and proved to be a redzone threat with a slant route. An athlete who undoubtable helped this team more than his stats showed, Watkins opened lanes for other plays to happened because of his deep speed. If brought back, with a full offseason to work with, is it possible that Watkins can reach the 1,000 yard mark yet again as he did in Buffalo? I think its not out of the question at all.
Ultimately in the games we won last year, most of them were by a large margin, thus I have no complaints about who did what and how many yards it took. If we can continue to beat teams by 15+ points then I will not care if we do not post the gaudy personal stats. But for the fun of it, and because I think they all have the potential to make it, given the amount of targets they get, who breaks 1,000 next season?
