Two of those six were Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns. Robinson caught 49% of his targets and the QB had a 63.8 passer rating when targeting him. Hurns caught 46% of his targets and the QB had a 68.8 passer rating when targeting him.

Marqise Lee was also in the group of 70. Lee caught 60% of his targets and the QB had a 75.5 passer rating when targeting him. 

I'm not really buying this idea that Robinson and Hurns are more reliable options than Lee.

The difference is in separation, Lee gets the most out of all three.  It is easier catching passes when their aren't corners all over you.  Arob can beat the one on one but last year was doubled, mugged, and interfered with a ton.  Teams don't respect Hurns deep speed so they cover him tightly and jump underneath routes.  Lee wasn't respected so he basically faced one on one all year and did well.  This is a complementary passing attack that needs to force teams to leave either lee or Arob one on one or commit two safeties deep to open up Hurns underneath or Fournette to do damage.  If we can get the run game going we should have options in the air all year long.
