That's significant, considering the backups were an absolutely massive step down.

That's an exaggeration I personally believe. He had martavis Bryant and wheaton as his back ups who combined for 11 TDs. He also has heath Miller his whole career who just retired. A very steady Presence at the TE position. And bell at rb who was injured last year, but when healthy is a force. OBJ has obj and thats all I can really think of, since he's come into the league. OBJ had 1450 yards receiving last year he missed a game.

The next closest person was the Randle with 797 and then the rb with 494. The Steelers after brown had two 700+ yard wideouts. Brown is great but he definitely has had help when compared to obj and that should be noted. You want to talk about a massive step down?

Kris Durham as the number 2 wideout in 2013 had 38 catches for 490 yards. Calvin had 84 catches for 1,492. Nate Burleson almost had as many yards as Durham that year and Durham played In all 16 games when nate played in only 9. Both bell and reggie bush had more yards receiving yards from the running back position than Durham from the wideout position.
