Maybe the "big" adjective was excessive, but it can be a factor. 
If a receiver is better on short routes but is used a lot more on deep routes when they aren't good at climbing the ladder or tracking the ball, they could perform worse. Or if a guy is used primarily on short routes but has the ability to make plays further down the field, his stats could suffer.
