Short, snarky answer? Yes, he’ll catch at least one pass this year. James is quite the conundrum, going from almost 70 receptions in 2019 to 31 in 2020 and 42 in 2021. Some of that, especially last year, had to do with the complete ineptitude of the offense and the inability to protect Doege, along with the inability of Doege to recover once he was hit. I expect that James will be better with the new offense and the new quarterback, but that said, in part last year the receivers, James in particular, didn’t fight for balls. 50/50 balls are called those for a reason and good receivers turn those into catches more often than not.
