The third year, especially when you consider an early first year injury in the case of Billings, is often the "light bulb" year. Here are a few that might be lighting up this season:
Billings
Kroft- Showed a bit last year when given the opportunity
Uzomah- Hasn't really gotten much of an opportunity, but with Eifert in bubble wrap, here is his chance
Core- Finally sees a light at the end of the tunnel with Lafell gone, but still a tough road ahead for him. Maybe go with 7? Or maybe these six if you think you can replace Erickson in the return game?
AJ Green
Ross
Malone
Boyd
Tate
Core
Lastly, Tyler Boyd. Might be the darling of this year's camp. The synergy I hoped to see a year ago with Ross demanding attention opposite AJ Green is starting to happen and the middle of the field will be Boyd's (and the TEs and RBs) domain. Combine that with drive blocking that gives Dalton better throwing lanes and Boyd might become the most important receiver on the team not named Green.
