From their article on ranking passing offenses:

#10 - WR T.Y. Hilton not only fielded the eighth most targets last season (143), he ran the fifth most routes (615). What set Hilton’s 2016 season apart, is among receivers with 126 or more targets (there were 14 of them), Hilton led them all with his 2.35 yards per route run. QB Andrew Luck finished with the fifth-highest passer rating from a clean pocket (112.0) and WR Donte Moncrief finished as not only the 38th highest graded overall wide receiver, but also with the 38th highest receiving grade among all 115 qualified receivers.

The bolded part is the part that I am most excited about. We all know that T.Y. and Andrew are good, but Moncrief graded out as "almost" a top 32 receiver in a season that was less than successful for him.
I am really looking forward to an offense that can feature a healthy Luck throwing to T.Y., a healthy Moncrief, Doyle and then supporting guys like Aiken, Rogers and Swoope. Add some catches out of the backfield and I expect us to end up at a passing offense ranking much higher than #10 at the end of the season.
Cheers,
