James - 600 yards
MVS - 700 yards
Watson - 300 yards
Running Backs - 800 yards
You’ve got 3600 yards before you get to any improvements Toney, Rice, or Moore make. If just one of the three can manage 1,000 yards you’re right back to 5,000+ and a top 3 offense at the worst.
The argument that you need Juju or Dhop or another true number one to make this offense fly gets undercut by Kelce who we all know is the real engine that makes it all work.

But the word we keep hearing is "we don't need" and "fine." And both are true. We will be more than fine and we can win a super bowl without a WR1. Do we technically need them? No. Would we better with one? Of course. But thats not what everyone believes. Some have made the case that we are worse off with a WR1 including the overplayed narrative that Tyreek is proof of that.
You don't need a WR1 to make the offense fly. But it makes a great offense even more formidable. And it Kelce is the engine then that raises the urgency. If we lose Kelce for even one game, I think we find out real fast how much we need a strong WR room. But not everybody feels that way.
