Perhaps.. but was he better, or just simply more used? There is a difference.
Jabar Gaffney was the Patriots' #5 WR in 2006, #4 WR in 2007. He only became their #3 WR in 2008, but that was the year Tom Brady had all of 11 pass attempts, so you can't really have the Tom Brady effect without Tom Brady. Lol
He was actually Washington's #1 receiver, and I believe the Broncos' #2. I don't think that was necessarily a merited promotion more than really crappy teams having no good WRs so they just threw to him a lot. Like when Sanu became the #1 briefly in 2014 due to Jones and Green being hurt. Sure he had bigger numbers, but that was because he was forcefed the ball. He also was among league lead in drops. So I would argue he didn't actually get better.
