Email from Elijah: Hey Bill, do you think that Funch has the potential to pull a 1,000-yard season this year? Would love to see him have massive success given his potential and size, and we need that true Number 1 Wideout! Keep Pounding!
Sure.
Think about this:
—Last season, Devin Funchess finished with 840 receiving yards.
—After Kelvin Benjamin was traded midway through the season, Funchess averaged 60.4 receiving yards over eight games. Multiply that by 16, and you get 966.4.
—But a sore shoulder slowed Funchess down for the season’s final four games.
