Kupp was on pace for over 1500 yards in '22. Seriously, we can't excuse away Higgins' Year 4 due to injury and not do the same for other players. Last year, he still out produced Tee in the same number of games.
We don't want to get into QB discussion...but we use Burrow being injured as an excuse for Tee's lack of productivity to try and justify him as an elite WR all the time.
Trey Palmer outproduced Irwin last year.
I can agree with putting the Bears in contention. I voted top 3 but after mulling it over, i'd say 3-5 would be a pretty safe bet. That's with taking injuries away from everyone but still factoring in possible age issues. You can mitigate injuries to an extent but not necessarily getting older.
Just to touch on your point, i've never used Burrow being out or Tee's injuries as an excuse, personally. I'm trying to project based on what i think will happen, with everyone playing a full season.
