Burrow targets the open guy, I think it is very possible Hurst gets that many targets.

Hurst as you said has been behind Andrews and just last year Pitts who I think could be the next great pass catching TE.

He won't be behind anyone here and has Burrow throwing to him. 

I expect a big year from him, the best of his career barring injury.


All true.

Hurst in 2020 had his best statistical year.
Most targets - 88
Only 56 receptions for 571 yards, 6 TDs.

He played in the most pass-heavy offense in the NFL that year.
Matt Ryan led the league in pass attempts (626) and completions (407).
He was 4th in passing yards.
14% of his pass attempts went to Hurst.

Burrow only had 520 pass attempts this past year. 12% went to Uzomah.

I just have a hard time believing he's going to see 80+ targets and also having the yardage you think he's gonna have.
I can surely see 500+, but around 800 just would be extraordinary.

Are you expecting Burrow to be 600+ attempts this regular season?
