He has been a number 2 or 3 WR all year meaning he is on the field for much of the game and has 18 receptions for 200 yards. Yes the 6 TDs are good but is that really what you were hoping for from him this year? 


He's currently sitting 187th in receptions tied with his longest reception being 39 yards. To put it in perspective he has just passed 33% of the production that we got from Brandon Lafell minus the TDs.  

I don't know about you but I was hoping for a whole lot more from him. 

The biggest part of the problem IMHO is his total misuse. Sure send him on a couple fly routes every game and chuck it out there, lots of good things can happen from that.

But he should be used waaayy more in the short to mid range stuff than he has been. Build his confidence and allow him to make people miss and utilize his speed in YAC.
