Lafell is an ok piece, but he's not the missing piece at wideout Jones brought the offense. Jones opened up the middle/intermediate of the field as defenses cleared out to cover him deep.
Jones fought Green for those reception. I think that makes the numbers a little different with perspective.
Lafell was targeted 52 times in the final six games when Green was out, but only 55 in the first ten. I think the issue was more of a lack of opportunity rather than ability. Hopefully the positive end of the year gives Andy confidence to throw to him. Obviously, starting out the year he was a new weapon that he had to develop chemistry with.
