“I wonder if a playoff team from the previous season has ever entered year N+1 with so much turnover among receiving targets.”

Last year’s Patriots, Favre and the 2001 Packers, and Marino with the 1992 Dolphins by percentage of receiving yards, according to Jason Lisk: http://thebiglead.com/2013/06/21/tom-brady-and-historic-receiving-turnover-in-2013-if-hernandez-is-out-top-five-receivers-from-last-year-could-miss-opener/

With those four gone Newton will lose 58.9% of last year’s receiving yards (Williams had a big chunk, and Hixon only had 55 yards), while I count Brady losing 72.5% last season between Welker, Lloyd, Hernandez, Woodhead, and no names. Whenever Gronk was hurt it was 88.9%!!
