With teams trying to stop Hill how friggin open is Waddle going to be?

He caught a ton of passes when he was the obvious top option as it was.
 
I would imagine his overall production will go down since we were getting every plsy possible to go his way. But his efficiency will go up and we'll get bigger plays with the defensive attention divided.

Their stats last year

Hill: 159 targets, 111 rec, 1239 yds, 9 TDs
Waddle: 140 targets, 104 rec, 1015 yds, 6 TDs

Now, I doubt the two will have 300 targets on the same team next year. But wow that is a lot of production

This. As much as we love the kid, catching 120 balls close to the LOS isn’t going to win us the division.

Hill is gonna have to fend off Preston Williams for playing time so we’ll see.

Got to remember that McDaniel comes from a running system too. And even with the bew signings I think the best chance to get these struggling line prospects a chance to elevate is to give them more opportunities to run block and be the aggressor.

Probably could with Hill. Buy Hill has ax explosion among the best that's ever played the game. They tried to make Waddle that last year and as good as he is he couldn't explode past defenders near the LOS.

Agreed. They made Waddle into a more modern Landry. Not going to win games through Waddle as your premiere threat. I’m glad they realize this.

At least at that part of things Landry was better because he had the physicality of an rb and could out physical guys. He can't touch Waddle anywhere downfield though.
 
Don't discount Gesicki's game this year either. With all the speed we have now defenses will be streeeeetched thin and MG will be perfect in the seams...
