Because he makes lots of plays, 85 receptions, at 15 ypc, or the same ypc as Dez, Demarius Thomas, and Julio Jones....he a consistent big play WR.
I get that he is coming off a big year but it was in chip kellys offense. Can he do that in a normal offense? What did he do before this year? I know he made plays here and there but is often been hurt.
What I'm not get is why people are saying he is a clear #1 but Cobb is just a #2 . What makes Maclin better when they have comparable stats?
