that would be horrible if the WRs started all 16 games.
Most any one WR started was 10. So it should be expected for them to not get a lot of yards.
Yet your two TEs got over 1500 yards combined.
Wentz is a dump down specialist with a strong arm.
He passed 336 passes to non WRs last year out of 607 passes.
So of course the WRs arent gonna get many yards.
You should be more stable at WR this year if I am gonna be fair, but wont change the fact that over 200 of those passes will go to your TEs this year.
Project those WRs out over 16 games and still it doesn't look good. Wentz was stuck with horrid WR play last year with the exception of the one full game from DeSean and late emergence of Greg Ward after injuries finally forced the Eagles into giving him a shot.
Also lol @ Wentz being a dump off specialist. It's one thing the Foles crowd was attacking him for on sports talk radio during last season is that he won't check down.
Statistically he has one of the lowest check down rates in the NFL.

Wentz had nothing but mostly garbage slop at WR yet two of the 10 best TEs in the NFL and an emerging superstar playmaker at RB who was was consistently getting open down the field. No wonder he was passing more to the other options that were getting open and actually catching the ball when thrown too. Crazy how that works.
