I know we all realize Roberts is good, but I keep seeing comments like "Lassiter and co are going to feast downfield" or people acting like Lassiter is our top guy.
And don't get me wrong, Lassiter is a good player and I'm glad to have him....but Chase Roberts deserves credit as the #1 WR on this team.
He has 43% more yards than Lassiter and 31% more catches. Stats-wise, Lassiter is as close to Roberts as Marion is to Lassiter.
This isn't a knock on Lassiter at all. We're lucky to have all of Roberts, Lassiter, Marion, Phillips as solid contributors. But Roberts's name deserves to be first among that group
EDIT: I'll add it's not just this season. Roberts was the leading receiver last year. Lassiter was #3, behind Roberts and Rex (with Roberts 57% of him in yardage). So why did so many expect Lassiter to be the #1 this year? Let's give some respect to what Roberts has been doing and what he continues to do
