JuJu has always been a high upside guy, but aside from 2018... he's finished 2nd/3rd in the pecking order.
So, the "advanced stats sites" are not really going out on a limb saying that he'll get 1000 yards and 8-10 TDs. Hell, most average WRs should see an uptick in targets and production playing with Mahomes.
Question is... is JuJu a true #1 threat? Even in 2018, his best year he was right there with Antonio Brown on production and Brown was certainly the #1 threat, so JuJu benefited greatly there because of that.
I think JuJu would have been an amazing add with the Hill as the #1... but as is, I don't know what to expect really. Same with MVS... I don't see him producing better than JuJu, but neither is a true #1.
But, think back to the days when Brady was doing well in NE ... he always had a ton of options and never really consistently had "the guy" outside of Gronk. Julian stepped up, but even he was 2nd option to Gronk most times. That's apparently the path here.

He doesn't need to be a true #1 threat. He just needs to get open and catch the ball. Something every WR on the team last year had issues with, even Hill.
Kelce is "the guy" in this offense.
