Projections were used from 2013, Week 13 (when Crabtree came back) through the NFCCG for a grand total of 8 games. Those 8 games were a much better indicator of how we utilize our offensive weapons and we played some top-tier defenses in playoff-like scenarios throughout. It's about as close to who we are as we can get.
Through Week 8 (7 games):
Per Year Projections: On pace for…
WR1 Boldin = 96 for 1,360. On pace for 89 for 1,010
WR2 Crabtree = 64 for 976. On pace for 73 for 736
WR3 Johnson/Lloyd = 31 for & 500. On pace for 80 for 1,296
WR4 Davis = 32 for 560. On pace for 32 for 325
HB Combined = 40 for 336. On pace for 23 for 240
Kaepernick: Big help from Niners816
Attempts – 480. On pace for 512
Completions – 300. On pace for 327
Completion % – 62.5%. On pace for 63.9%
Yards – 3,700. On pace for 3,600+
TD's – 25. On pace for 25
INT's – 10. On pace for 11
QB Rating – 95.0. On pace for 94.3
Rushing Yards – 500. On pace for 112 for 594
Rushing TD's – 5. On pace for 0
2014 Total Offensive Projections:
Receptions: 263 for 3,700. On pace for 297 for 3,600
Rushing: 30 for 132. On pace for 26 for 121 or (480 for 2,112. On pace for 411 for 1,934)
Analysis: So overall, CK's number remain right on projection. We see a bit of a drop in the running game total (but increase from 4.4. to 4.7 YPCA) while CK continues to be our second best rusher. Also, we see about a 100-300 YPY drop for the HB's, Boldin, Crabtree and VD but see almost x3 for the #3 WR position from 500 to a pace of 1,296. However, overall, the total passing yards remain right on projection (even slightly under). In short, what we take away from HB reception yards, Boldin, Crabtree and VD, we give to Lloyd and Johnson. Overall, projections remain right on pace for the year.
