When you add in the fact that he is going to be the complimentary receiver to one of the best in the league, and Andy Dalton is a fully mature veteran, I'd be willing to bet that LaFell will have good production this season. Then, when you factor in Eifert having the ankle surgery, LaFell's physical stature will be another asset to compliment Green in the Red Zone.
700 yards might actually be a conservative estimate if Eifert misses significant time. Like you said, LaFell's size (and versatility - he can play slot and outside) might make him someone Dalton has to lean on while Eifert is out.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
