He certainly is capable of getting 1100 if he's on the field more and is playing with a competent QB. Will he? The big question is health and how his recovery is going.

I don't think we've had an elite receiver on this roster in recent years, include Hurns and Robinson. Both Dede and Lee have the potential to be very good receivers though. I also like Cole if he can figure out how to eliminate the mistakes. Jury's out on Chark.

He'd have to vastly improve his route running and hands to crack 1100 yards for us.

His best shot of it is if everyone is injured and he gets a Kelvin Benjamin type rookie year target load

He got 851 yards as 3rd option and running mostly slant routes. As a number one option it's reasonable to project that he could better that catch total by 25+ catches and 200 yards or so. His route running is fine, he's had some drops in the past but that's not unprecedented for good receivers. If he falls short of 1100 but is still productive, I won't complain. What might hold him back this year is coming back from the injury may take awhile.
