Tony Rodger: 5
Tim: 7-8
Derek Larson: 8
Bill: 6
Tom: 7
Mike: 9
Tosafish: If featured, 7-9, if not 5-6 to keep offensive flow or as a bailout. Hope they actually unlock the two tight end offense – that’d be fun to see.
David Hansen: 7
Alex: 10

Bill: Way more than he’s getting.

Mike Stemler: 6-8
Darryl: 5
Corey: 5 at minimum
Nate: 8
Howard: As many as possible. Several TEs on other teams have been the featured receiver
John: Six to eight
TD Brian: At least 10 per game
John: 8
Fernando Garcia: 10
Erwin Penny: Since offenses have about 65 plays per game and 50% or more are passes, 5-6 would be good.
CB: 8-10
Jimmy: 8
David Davis: 5-9
George: If they consider Kraft the second coming of Travis Kelce he should get targeted as much. 10 targets per game, with two being 20-30 yard throws.
Ted: 5 or more
Mike: 8-10. Packers need him to get the ball more.
Wayne Gottschalk: 5-10 targets per game. Look at yardage he gets after a catch.

Deano: Eight
Marc Drewry: At least seven. Use him to keep down and distance manageable.
Terry Nilles: It depends. He gets more targets down field if he does not have to spend as much time keeping the defense off Love. He gets more check down catches if he has to block pass rushers and other receivers are not getting open. I would think either way he should be targeted 6-9 times a game.
Gerry Stiemsma: 6
