Can he catch the ball?

We had RBs who never caught passes (Benson, BJGE) but when we drafted Gio we started throwing more to our RBs.

We had TEs that never caught passes (Kelly, Foshie, Coats) but when we drafted Gresham we started throwing a bunch of TE screens, and then when we drafted Eifert we started throwing downfield to the TE.

These are adjustments made to the scheme from year-to-year, which have happened. 
The issues are mid-season and mid-game adjustments based on the skill set of the backups filling in for the starters and if the opposing defense/offense is dominating.

To use the Patriots as a good example of doing the right thing, they would go to Gronk often but if he was hurt or getting covered really well, they'd start prioritizing the WRs or the running game. They have been able to make these changes week-to-week and even mid-game.
I haven't noticed the Bengals being able to adjust this well in years past. We'll see if Taylor is able.
