I am glad you included this in your post because you do not need to entirely come up with 200 or so you say.
They can come in a lot of ways one can be to hope that Gronk and Hernandz can stay healthier but also assume that Ballard can back them up better if need be.
You have to assume whoever fills Welkers spot will be able to replace a large number of Welkers balls basically by default (default meaning Tom Throwing to anyone).
Also his average was 11.5 if his replacement is more of a deep threat and ups his average per catch than that replaces some need for some of those receptions.
Lastly to compound on some of what I said in my previous post if we assume that whoever we replace Wes with can at least put up something similar to what Reche Caldwel did then we are only left with 57 receptions to replace and if sans those receptions this offense still would have been a very productive offense in this league probably still a top 10 offense (possibly even still top 5).
Your approach is basically hope in one hand.....
That's a recipe for problems, to put it gently. Also, your numbers are off, probably because, despite your claim, you're not adding a Caldwell and looking for 57 catches.
