Higgins=on pace for 1006 yards if he had his QB1 all year

How do arrive at Higgins is a WR1 until proven otherwise based on that?

Even funnier is all the "Auden Tate would have had much better production if Andy Dalton didn't suck" posts this past off-season.

So What is a #1... in the NFL today #1 WRs like we think in the past mean are less and less.. today with multiple sets, you don;t really have that many true #1 and you have teams doing well without the figure WRs... and yardage is being done by many players I don;t think we just consider #1 type WR and that is my point... I think TDs today is the big difference that you see compared to a decade ago.


Look at these numbers
2019-20   10 WRs 10 or more TDS and with WRs with over 1,100 only 5 of 29 had 10 or more TDs
2009-10-  21 Wrs 10 or more TDs and with WRs with over 1,1000 13 out of 24 had 10 or more

What we are seeing now is more and more WRs getting yards single digit TDs and more yards with the increase passing attacks... 

Just as the TE as more of a WR is evolving in todays game so is less emphasis on #1 WRs and more 2/3 set of WRs getting TDS and Yards
