Coaches, Scouts, Execs: "Chase is number 1 WR"

Not really how it works. Efficiency numbers can go up from it, but sheer counting numbers will normally drop. It's why Lamar Jackson needed 17 games to finally break 4k passing yards.

Kupp's triple crown: Rams 25th rushing team
Justin Jefferson's >1800 yard season: Vikings 28th rushing team
Julio Jones's near-1900 yard season: Falcons 18th rushing team
Calvin Johnson's near-2k season: Lions 23th rushing team
Smith Sr's triple crown: Panthers 19th rushing team

If you have an actual running game, you're not going to be accumulating big time passing numbers normally.
