What are the chances Larry Fitzgerald will reach 1,000 receptions this year?

Not likely.

Last year, Larry Fitzgerald became the youngest player to reach 900 receptions and proved to be the most reliable wide receiver on the team. But despite that, it is undeniable that his production has gone down over the past 5 years.

While I believe Fitzgerald will do better in 2015, ultimately he will not catch the 91 receptions he needs to reach 1,000 career receptions this season even if both he and Palmer are healthy.

Yesterday, I covered the reasons Fitzgerald’s production fell the past three years. The reason for my belief that he will improve is that two of those reasons, namely, poor quarterbacks and learning a new offensive system are no longer true.
