with Chase, Tee and Boyd taking up so much attention. But yeah, 60-65 sounds more realistic. 80 for a TE is a lot of catches.

Also agree that if Hurst has his best season here I think he would like to stay and he would take a manageable extension.

JB had 366 completions last year which is a bit low for the top level QB's. And with a hopefully much better Oline I could easily see that going up to 400 area.

Chase, Higgins, and Boyd combined caught 222 passes. And again I could see their numbers rising some. Chase had 81 Higgins 74 Boyd 67. Lets say it rises to 250 combined.

That will leave about 150 receptions to spread around between Hurst, Mixon, Evans, and a handful of the others. I'd guess Hurst could come in 50-60 area. But to me it's not so much the quantity it's the Quality. Getting 1st downs, 8-10 TD's and so on.
