You mean on only 61 catches, he was targeted 83 times but only caught 63 of those. A lot of that is on alex for being inaccurate downfield though.
So if he gets 40 more targets he should be close to 900 yards and 90 catches but he doesn't have another downfield threat to protect him so he will get the respect that Macklin used to get.
It is going to be hard for him to have a 1300 yard season without a 2nd option at WR to take some of the heat off him, will also be hard if alex won't throw it deep and allow him to use his speed to run by guys downfield. Teams can put a LB and Safety on fake gronk and then still double Hill until someone else proves they are worth covering.
The real question is what will the base formation be? 12? 13? Reid had 3 and sometimes even 4 TE's out there at times last year, I bet that continues until they can find a QB who is willing and accurate enough to throw downfield.
