Jefferson did have more receptions, but that would be like saying TJ was the #1 over Chad in 2006 & 2007.
Perfect analogy as TJ was our slot WR, as was Housh. People seem to think that taking Chase is just one weapon when that one weapon improves the situation for Higgins, Boyd, and Mixon. The argument that Burrow won't have time unless they take Sewell is tiring because they have already done a lot since the early part of last year. They were in a lot of those games, but look no further than games where AJ Green was targeted 13 times and had only 3 receptions to realize the importance of Chase.
