He was top 5 in routes run as of last week. He's running routes, but for whatever reason they just don't throw him the ball.
Only three explantions I can think of:
1.) Burrow refused to throw to him even though he's open
2.) Zac Taylor design plays where he's literally the last option every play, and he should just keep him in to block if that's the case.
3.) He just can't get open.
IMHO, it's either 2 or 3, and it's most likely a healhty combination of both.
