Jenkins is a wildcard, he's going to either be mediocre again or the light is going to turn on for him and he might "explode" for some solid #2 production numbers this season. However, with his track record, you'd be a fool to bet on that.
And the rest are almost not worth mentioning.
The only other help you can really expect is going to have to come from Kelce and Fasano staying healthy and playing well.

I understand that.
I actually like Bowe a lot, struggle with how poorly he's played the past couple years. I will also admit that he would be better if he had someone more talented playing opposite of him. As much as I would liked to see us draft a WR this year, I do think it was wise to invest in the defense based on some contracts that are coming up, and the fact that we lost to Denver, San Diago, and Indy on that side of the ball.
I would also have felt differently if Cooks would have been sitting there. When he was gone, I was glad we went with a pass rusher. Without a stud franchise QB, our identity needs to be our defense. I expect we will be drafting higher next year do to our schedule. I imagine Andy will be itching for a WR.
