Roberts and Lassiter have proven they are the go to WRs at this point.
Chase catches everything that hits him in the hands, it seems. Lassiter has a few drops sprinkled in (see Baylor 2nd half), but he also catches some balls he has no business reeling in near the sidelines, often times. OU last year and AZ last week come to mind. I think Jake has been forcing some balls into Lassiter to help get him going and keep him happy. Not a bad thing, but I think that limits throws to others or other WRs stepping up.

Would be nice to see Marion and Phillips step up while Epps is out. I would love to see Hagen get more looks as well, but we do need a 3rd receiver to join Roberts and Lassiter with higher production and catch rates.

Interestingly, I was looking at the WR stats splits on ESPN this week. Roberts does most of his work on 1st down, where as Lassiter is more of a 2nd and 3rd down guy. We need to change up those tendencies so defenses don't key on these players on specific downs. Maybe it was a small sample size (only 5-6 games) but there is definitely a big difference as to who catches the ball on which downs.
