It seemed like the top offensive units last season were spreading the ball around to many different receivers. I did a quick search and found this about Drew Brees throwing TDs to 15 different receivers last year.

But those bottom of the roster WRs for Brees averaged less than a reception per game each so they get in for a play or 2. Many of them didn't even play 1/2 the games. No real difference than our bottom of the roster receivers. Brees's numbers add up due to the RB, FB, TE and jack of all trades back up QB.
If you look at total snaps for the season, those last WRs for most teams do play mostly on special teams
Fueled by the pursuit of greatness.
