Important Thread Does having an efficient rookie season as a WR mean an increase in volume as a sophomore???
As of 2006, there has been 15 receivers who reached 750+ receiving yards despite having 100 or less targets.
2019 Rookies that fit this description:
Here are the 16 game paces of the 15 receivers that accomplished this since 2006 (only looked at receivers that played 14+ games as rookies)
Here are the 16 game paces of the 15 receivers in their sophomore campaigns (Cooper Kupp tore his ACL midway through his second season but was excellent before this so i decided to include him)
This shows the differential between their volume as rookies to sophomores. (Notice the only two guys with negative differentials were the UDFAs)
Based on this data (34 target increase on average & a 269 yardage increase on average)
This is statistically what the data suggests these 5 will jump too as second year receivers, which all of these seem attainable in my opinion.

Obviously all of these situations are different and this assumes health (which is an issue for Deebo specifically rn). However, I believe all of their situations are solid enough & warrant a bump of this nature based on their efficiency as rookies.
