That would translate to 54-521-2 over a full season. For a 2nd year player (particularly a TE), it was solid production. Good enough for me to feel he's a solid backup heading into his 3rd year. Would I like a more dominant player behind Eifert? Sure, but CJ isn't bad at all.

I admit to mixed feelings on Uzomah. He has the physical tools but we also saw some really bad route running and although I know the official stats say one drop I saw more including dropping an easy TD. But he could get it together as these are mental errors.
