Davis has been much more viable in his old offense than Jones and I think moving to the superior Pederson playbook will create the scenario I talked about. BTJ will have every opportunity, but Davis has already shown capability, now he gets to step into a better situation and I think that translates to a big year while BTJ acclimates.

Jones had almost 50 more targets in 2022 than 2021 and got them from a more accurate QB. 

I don't think Davis is going to experience 135 targets this year. 
Which would have to happen for him to see the same % of increase that Zay experienced. 
He also had a good-playing Josh Allen where Zay had a less-than-on-his-A-game Derek Carr in 2021. 

I can def see Gabe Davis getting an uptick, but not as steep as the one Zay had here.

Assuming average protection by our work-in-progress O-Line we will have a much different passing game from last year. Doug tends to go with the "hot" hand with receivers and running backs so I expect targets are going to vary widely over the season. Last year it seemed to me we had a prima donna as a #1 and they were careful to take that into account.  The guys we have now give me the impression they will work more as a team. (not that I know a ton about Gabe or BJT.)
