Matt Forte was the 17th most targeted player in the league last year (tied with OBJ).
Then what about scheming? If a team has a heavy scheme to throw passes to their TEs and RBs, is it a big deal if their WRs aren't as good as somebody elses? There's a tooooon of variables for a lot of this.
I think that passing yards for RBs should just be counted for the run game. That's a big part of the reason why Jamaal Charles and Forte are such good RBs. Plus most of the time RBs don't have as much production with the pass as the#3 receivers. I think the only RB that passed a teams #3 receiver in receiving yards was Jamaal Charles.
