I'm not singling any one game out. I'll just say he had a 108.9 rating in the first 7 games, and an 84.9 rating over the last 5. If that isn't a decline, I don't know what is. I'm not saying he's regressed. Not saying he's a bust.

I'm just listing the stats and people can make of it what they will.

Personally, I think the problem is that defenses really solved the Chase puzzle fairly easily, yet we're still targeting him 7.8 times/game over that span. We either (a) need to find new ways to get Chase open, or (b) start targeting Boyd more.

Higgins an Boyd are doing fine. Higgins in particular has been exceptional.
