DAVIE, Fla. -- Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jarvis Landry earned a distinguished award for the first time earlier this month. He was named the 98th best player in the NFL Network's Top 100, as voted by his peers.
In a league filled with more than 1,600 active players, how did being ranked 98th make Landry feel?
"I honestly was honored, but disappointed at the same time," Landry said. "I think any guy that isn't No. 1 believes he should be No. 1. If not, I don't want to play with them; I don't want them around me. That's just the way I see it, and that's my competitive nature speaking out a little bit."
Landry is not satisfied with his record-setting season in 2015. He set a new franchise mark with 110 receptions to go with 1,157 yards, but he's hungry for more in 2016.
It will be difficult for the third-year receiver to top last season's reception total. However, the Dolphins plan to increase Landry's overall effectiveness and help him better take advantage of his opportunities.
"I feel like for me, [there is] always room to get better no matter how much you've accomplished, what you've done or what you can do," Landry said. "For me, I'm focused on continuing to build on my strengths, finding weaknesses in the details of our routes, details of catching the football, assignments and trying to master them."
How can Landry improve in his third season? A good place to start is the fact that he averaged just 10.5 yards per reception last season, which ranked 105th in the NFL among qualifying receivers. Landry is not a speedster and a majority of his catches were for short and intermediate gains.
Only 10 of his 110 receptions (9 percent) went for 20 yards or more last season. New Dolphins head coach Adam Gase, who ran successful offensive systems with the Denver Broncos and Chicago Bears, aims to put Landry in a better position to make big plays.
Another area primed for improvement involves red zone production. Despite being targeted 165 times, sixth most in the NFL, Landry had just four receiving touchdowns. That total was tied for 57th. Red zone woes were a teamwide issue for Miami last season and Landry wasn't immune.

no way he is 98. He's top 40, easy. But hey, if you get another motivation for this kid, I'll take it. He needs less receptions (bubble screens) and no more ST's. I think the popularity of OBJ pushes him too. Jarvis is now the veteran amongst these pups. His work ethic and leadership could be contagious. I say this, despite Stills being here, because I am not sure of Stills' role.
 
Jarvis Landry needs less.

Devante Parker needs more.

Our offense suffered by running so heavily through Landry.
 
I love landry and hes going to be great for us, but I do agree I want Parker fed a bit more, and I feel he will be creating more balance between who gets targeted.
 
we know what we want from Landry and Parker. Stills needs to be more of a consistent, productive player. 27 recepts and 440 yards won't cut it. He stunk. He had 4 games of 0/0. He averages 16.3 yards a catch, so it's a homerun or a strikeout. Until Carroo develops and our TE's stay healthy, Stills must thrive as a 3rd WR
 
In a perfect world for the Dolphins, Landry, Stills, and Parker would all get a good amount of targets each.... Landry ending up again with the most reception of the three....Parker while still getting a good amount of receptions, ending up with the most TDs, as well as highest yards per catch on the team.... Stills being the middle man as far as reception, TDs, and yards per catch, getting a few more receptions then Parker, and a better yards per catch, and maybe a TD or two more better then Landry.

That's without even thinking about what Cameron, Simms, Duarte, Larroo, Grant, Ajayi, and Drake might also be adding to the passing game.

Parker needs to catch more than the 52% of the number of times he was targeted
and Still needs to do better than 42.9% of the number of times he was targeted

Stills number was terrible when compared to when he played with New Orleans
In 2014 he caught 75% of the targeted passes,In 2013 he caught 64%of targeted passes
then dropped to 42.9% with us...hmmmm

I fell for this last year. I have to see two things happen for this to work, us stopping the run and getting off the field and the line blocking for an extra 1.5 seconds
