With Stallworth gone, will this open the door door for?

I have seen a few notes like this already on the fantasy impact of this trade...

"now expect to see Bush in the slot and backfield catching upwards of 60 passes this season."

I dislike Kiper but I did like his draft day comment "Reggie Bush would have been a first round pick if he wasn't a running back."

Deuce averaged 50 catches the 3 seasons before last year. With Bush and Deuce in the backfield, one of them can swingout for a catch on everyplay and still have a dangerous runner to contend with at the line. I'm old enough to remember Thunder and Lightning I, Muncie and Galbreath. Muncie wasn't a great receiver and Tony wasn't a great runner though. Reggie will have to be covered like a wideout. This duo has potential to be unique like nothing seen before.

Reggie 60, Deuce 50, Joe back to 80+, and that leaves enough to spread around to the young WRs and TE.
