not necessarily. Considering 13 games that's less than 2 catches per game. Lots of times against scrub teams some leseser WRs may end up playing 2 or 3 full quarters, not to mention an outlier game of 5 or 6 catches would inflate the average.
Granted, the stat carries more weight considering there are 5 of them...but just "20 catches last season" on the face of it doesn't really mean much.

Whatever the hell it means, we are tied for 6th in it. I don't see that as anything significant, but i'll take it

How many times does a receiver get 5 catches in garbage time when it's dive right or left? I looked back at 8 years of stats and every single 20 catch or more receiver was part of the regular rotation.
The thing about Tennessee's 5 is that Hurd and Kamara are RBs. So, I have a hard time putting them at top 6 for WR corp.
