Jamison Crowder our #1 target?

Apparently, Jamison Crowder has been the preferred target for Kirk Cousins in OTAs (https://www.reddit.com/r/Redskins/comments/6harwn/jamison_crowder_has_been_the_preferred_target_at/).

I was anticipating he would be the 3rd target after Reed and Pryor, but how will the targets end up being split? And where does Josh Doctson fit into that?

I see it being something like:

Jordan Reed ~100 targets
Jamison Crowder ~90 targets
Terrelle Pryor ~70 targets
Josh Doctson ~60 targets
Chris Thompson ~40 targets

I think you're being easy on the targets there. Jordan Reed (in the right offense) might catch 100 balls, let's say on 125-150 targets. Crowder/Pryor will most likely be evenly matched on targets, or in the vicinity of the other, and Doctson will either end up as the 3rd receiver. I like Crowder in the slot but he's earned the opportunity to become a starter. Should be a good battle though.

kc attempted 606 passes in 16 games last season, about 38 per game. vernon davis was 6th in targets at 59.

i think you can ramp up your projections.

I'd say he could be, 80 catches is a strong possibility

I love Crowder but if he's going to draw coverage from the top corner then I don't think he'll perform as well.

Ideally Prior and Doctson show enough to be our outside guys and Crowder can stay in the slot where he's a matchup nightmare.

I dont see how Pryor wont be our #1 target.
And as pointed out above, the number one corner will be on Pryor allowing Crowder more wiggle room.

I think Terrell Pryor will be a better deep option than DJax


And Jordan Reed will be top in Targets this year.


But Crowder will lead WR in catches.

Your welcome

I agree with this.

As long as Big Cuz gets the ball to someone then it doesn't matter to me who it is. I just want the passing game to remain on point.
