Watching the WRs today outside of Diggs, I think 250 and a 1 TD would be optimistic for any WR outside of Tread, and even with him that is a stretch.
Honestly I didn't see anything from any WR today not named Diggs that makes me think they can contribute. Olabisi Johnson looks good but he's super raw. That's why I think they keep 4 WRs and 4 TSs.
Could be, its a real tricky deal at the bottom of the roster. Bisi has shown some football character and seems to be the best KR not named Abdullah. So far, he hasn't shown a propensity for fumbling and maybe that gives him a leg up. Meanwhile, Beebe might also make the team primarily for special teams, as a holder and potential returner. If they keep Bailey and Wile, Beebe becomes a lock. If you are only keeping 4 WRs, those are the four in this scenario.
Now, if they keep Abdullah, Johnson becomes potentially expendable, maybe for Treadwell (though he has no special teams value) or Zylstra (who can't stay healthy, but remains under team control for more than just one year). Outside of the slot, Zylstra is probably the best WR on the team not named Diggs or Thielen.
If they IR Morgan, they could go with just 3 TEs (Rudolph, Conklin, Smith Jr.) and keep 5 WRs. If they keep 4 tight ends, 4 WR, I predict Zylstra will be one of the 4, Abdullah will be primary kick returner, and Bisi and Boone get cut with hopes they make it to practice squad.
