Right now you're looking at Toney - assuming he can stay healthy - and a WHOLE LOT of question marks.
Or, if you want to be a pessimist, you can assume Toney won't be able to stay healthy (he hasn't once in his career) and you have NOTHING but question marks.
They need some sort of a presence besides Kelce - MVS ain't it.

Exactly. Toney is the only legit true WR talent in the building, everyone else is an unknown, several with serious issues, whether it's staying healthy, or not having any experience at all at the NFL level, or whatever. Toney goes down, we really don't have a plan B.
Personally, I think it's extremely doubtful we have both Ross guys suited up for 17 games this season. And I mean combined, not each. So, then what? Skyy becomes the WR1, one of the Ross boys becomes the 2?, and then maybe Richie? Justin Watson is more of a ST guy than a WR so far, but a decent backup for MVS in terms of role. But that's about it for him. He's not going to be the go-to WR in any scenario.
Then some are saying "that's why Gray and Fortson are on the roster!" Great. Except that when JuJu faded mid-season, those two didn't do anything. They finished the season with a combined 400 yards receiving and 3 TDs. Not impressive. And not dependable.
It's one thing to go into a season with no dependable WRs in Madden. It's another to do it in reality.
And Veach ain't that dumb. He's got a plan, and it's not "let's go into 2023 with this WR room and a rookie WR and just hope a couple of them just surprise the hell out of us with a top-15 season." That shouldn't be remotely a thing if Veach is as smart as we all think he is.
