Last season, with defenses focusing on Odell Beckham Jr., and Victor Cruz not ready to return from a career-threatening 2014 knee injury, the stage seemed set for Randle to become a star. He did score eight touchdowns, but they were tallied on only 57 catches, for 797 yards. Randle was targeted 90 times. At least twice, Eli Manning threw interceptions when Randle seemed to break off routes, rather than completing them. Randle seemed to chafe at the offense's focus on Beckham.
