Dolphins game planning more big plays for Jarvis Landry
New Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase wants to help wide receiver Jarvis Landry make more big plays, ESPN reporter James Walker said.
Landry had the fourth-most receptions in the league last year, but he managed just the 13th-most receiving yards and only had eight receptions of more than 20 yards. With DeVante Parker looking ready for a breakout, Gase "definitely" wanting to get Kenny Stills more involved, and rookie Leonte Carroo a candidate for an early role, Landry's target share looks destined to shrink this season. If it does, he will need to become more efficient with his work to remain in the WR2 conversation.
Landry was consistent, with a 66.47 percent Catch Rate on 167 targets last year. Still, a meager 0.49 Reception Net Expected Points per target (ranked 80th among 86 receivers with at least 50 targets in 2015) and a 72.97 percent Reception Success Rate indicates that Landry has been nothing more than a high-volume short possession receiver in the previous regime's offense.
