Brandon Marshall -- catching over half of the TDs

Brandon Marshall was the only player in the league last year to catch over half of his team's touchdown passes. That's impressive, and awfully appealing when picking a player in a TD-only league; if the team throws about 23 TD passes, such a guy would look pretty likely to reach double digits in touchdowns.

But the historical track record of such players, oddly, isn't that good.

In the last 10 years, 24 players have caught at least half of their team's touchdowns. Only seven of those guys (less than a third) caught at least 8 TDs the following season.
