Don't know if the shoulder has been the issue, but Tee is only 1 of 6 on contested catches this year, including 0 for 4 against the Bears. Chase is 0 for 1 and Boyd is 2 for 2, by comparison. The other concern is 6 of Tee's 15 targets have been contested compared to 2 of 13 for Boyd and 1 of 11 for Chase. Tee is struggling to get open and struggling to make contested catches. It would probably be a good idea to dial back his target share some when he gets healthy.
Well it's not his shoulder I don't think he hurt that until the Dlineman dropped his 300+ pound frame on him towards the end of the game. Interesting to look at how many routes the receivers ran have been contested and a little concerning Higgins is struggling. It's early though and I'd rather look at the routes he's being contested on rather than dial back his target share when he's healthy atleast.
