I think it's pretty obvious that this team thinks very highly of Toney. They wanted to make sure he got at least a couple of targets in this first game. I'm betting they take the Josh Gordon approach with him and give him around 10 snaps for a few games and then he's going to be getting 40%+ in about a month.
The big difference between Toney and Gordon though is that Toney isn't a washed up nearly 31 year old that's only played in 32 games over the previous 7 years. Toney has the chance to be a big producer in this offense and I think he will start taking snaps from Moore, Watson, and maybe even MVS. They pretty much have to find out if Toney or Moore can be relied upon next year and I'm willing to bet that Toneys gonna get that chance to step up.
