2.  The number of targets for the #3 WR depends a lot on how healthy Eifert is.  If he is healthy the #3 WR won't see near as many targets.  If not then the #3 will see almost as many targets as the #2.

1. LaFell missed more games from injury last year than Boldin did. 5 to Boldin's 2.  Nobody ever seems to be mentioning this when they talk about how Boldin was injured last year.

Also, sure, nobody plays forever, but Boldin won't get worse this year if he signs with the Bengals. Why is that? Because he would be going from Blaine Gabbert throwing him the ball to Andy Dalton throwing him the ball. His Co-WRs will go from Torrey Smith to AJ Green. Not to mention the small fact that Anquan Boldin has statistically out performed LaFell EVERY. SINGLE. YEAR. Lafell has been in the NFL. Also something nobody seems to ever mention.


2. Given that they went from "small surgical procedure" to hedging their bets by saying Eifert might not be ready to start the season, and might not be 100% until half way through the season, it's pretty safe to say the WRs will get a workout this year.
