But those are looong odds.
It's much more likely that Toney won't play 17 games, that if he plays in 11 games it'll be the first time in his college/pro career to do so.
That Skyy will be a typical 2nd year WR in Andy's offense and see about 60 targets/550 yards, and that Rice will see maybe 50 targets.
I mean, it's kind of been the blueprint in Andy's 1st-/2nd-year WR development program for a long time now.

There's no blueprint, other than it usually takes a year to get into the flow of this offense for just about anyone.
We've not had a group of high picks at WR...well, ever. Certainly not in Mahomes'time. We now have 3, two of which are in year two.
There's no blueprint. There's no precedent. All of the negative scaredy cat stuff is silly.
Veach, Reid, and Mahomes are all confident. We should be excited to see the next group of stars develop before our very eyes. How good can they be? Will it be Toney? Skyy? Rice? Who's going to show out and rise to the top?
My money's on Skyy. And Rice as the season goes on. Toney's injury situation gives me pause.
I'm not counting on it, but I'm rooting for Justyn Ross too. Just because I love a good story.
