2016 - 64 catches
2017 - 52 catches
----------------------
Total - 116 catches

Rest of WRs:
Tyler Boyd (2 years) - 76 catches
Cody Core (2 years) - 17 catches
Alex Erickson (2 years) - 18 catches
John Ross (1 year) - 0 catches
--------------------------------------
Total - 111 catches

So in actuality, the combo of Boyd, Core, and Erickson over two years totaled about the same as LaFell in that same time span. Boyd I think will fill LaFell's shoes nicely. People forget he had 54 receptions as a rookie. I fully expect him to be 50+ again this upcoming season barring a big injury.

Thanks for this Ocho, definately isn't the most inexperienced WR core we have had. Tons of talent.

Liking our new WR coach in Bicknell. It was just time to get our other WR's more snaps to gain that experience.
