If Boston can produce a 500+ yard season then it will be a really strong return for the team and show he has positive progression into year two. There are plenty of mouths to feed in the wide receiver room this year so it will require good play to get targets. You are naturally going to see less drops due to less targets, a PFF grade over 66 is a good focus for year one, as you don't just want a player making two big plays and then being poor otherwise.
