I do expect that there will be games that the TE is targeted more than just twice, but I don't see a TE being Top 3 in targets by the end of the year.
I think it's going to be heavily focused on Chase, Boyd, and Higgins with occasional RB and TE mixed in.
That makes a lot of sense, and I don't mean to say that CJ would be a "focal point", but last year, Burrow had more chemistry early on with CJ over any other receiver. They might play more two TE (12 personnel) more than we expect. Helps with the rushing game as well.
Then again, he didn't have Tee Higgins or Chase at the beginning of last year, either, so who knows. I would like to see Uzo get some more action. Maybe 5 targets a game. Force DBs to tackle the big man. It isn't fun getting up and trying to run with sub 4.5 WRs after getting pummeled by a TE.
