Tyreek Hill’s departure should make Patrick Mahomes rely on Kelce even more this season.
2. Mark Andrews | Baltimore Ravens

Lamar Jackson’s primary target could see even more action after the Ravens sent Marquise Brown to Arizona.
3. Kyle Pitts | Atlanta Falcons

Even with the addition of fellow top-10 pick Drake London, Pitts should still be the No. 1 pass-catcher in Atlanta.
4. George Kittle | San Francisco 49ers

Do-it-all playmaker should be Trey Lance’s best friend in the quarterback’s first year as the starter.

Davante Adams will cut into his target share, but also divert attention, giving Waller more open space to work.

Even with the addition of A.J. Brown, Goedert should still be a potential big-play target for Jalen Hurts on short and intermediate routes thanks to his after-the-catch ability.

Back on the franchise tag, Schultz could put up huge numbers with Amari Cooper gone, and Michael Gallup still working his way back from injury.
8. Dawson Knox | Buffalo Bills

Josh Allen and the Bills are going to air it out again this season, and Knox should see a sizable chunk of the action.

Jared Goff won’t set the world on fire, but Hockenson’s athleticism and big-play ability should maximize his quarterback’s numbers every time the ball comes his way.
10. Cole Kmet | Chicago Bears

Justin Fields still doesn’t have a true No. 1 receiver, but Kmet should be the beneficiary of that absence.
11. Pat Freiermuth | Pittsburgh Steelers

No matter who ends up throwing passes in Pittsburgh this year, Freiermuth should have a breakout performance in his sophomore campaign.
