Price will get receptions, probably for respectable fantasy numbers, but be very wary. Bledsie has his favorites, and plays them, and he can't look off a receiver to save his life. Moulds will get most of the attention from Bledsoe, with Riemersma and the RBs getting their share of blitz dump passes. Bledsoe and Coates were a great tandem and Bledsoe will probably give Riemersma the chance to fill Coates' shoes.
If you see anyone dropping Bledsoe's passes repeatedly, trade them. Bledsoe won't pass to anyone who pisses him off. Likewise, if you see someone starting to get more passes their way from Bledsoe, the trend will likely continue. I remember games where a receiver would drop the first pass and never see the ball again all game, even when streaking all alone for the endzone. Many QBs probably share these traits somewhat, but Bledsoe goes to extremes on people he favors or puts in the doghouse. Montana was one of the few QBs I've ever seen who really shook a play off after it was over and would go right back to a guy after a dropped pass. We could use another Joe Montana.
