When you look at efficiency Uzimah was better.  C.J. had both a better "catch percentage" and a better "yards per target".

Shultz is not going to take any targets away from Boyd, Chase, or Higgins.  So he is not going to produce any more than Uzo.

Again, the only reason Ertz put up bigger numbers is because he was targeted almost twice as much as CJ (114 to 63).  And, again, Ertz is not going to take any targets away from Chase, Higgins, or Boyd.

I know Fred gotta Fred, but the reason why Uzomah's catch % is so "good"? The dude was living near the line of scrimmage. 

Average Depth of Target
Uzomah: 4.3 yards
Schultz: 7.1 yards
Ertz: 8.0 yards

Newsflash, guy who is nearly half the distance away when being thrown to gets more easy passes to him. That's a real shocker that dink and dunk passes are more accurate. Mind blown.

You also in proper Fred form bring up Ertz's catch % as 66% on the season, casually including the 58% for the first 6 games with one of the least accurate starting QBs in the league while Uzomah got to play with Burrow all season who led the league in %. But sure, the difference between two players has nothing to do with who is throwing them the ball, it's clearly only the difference in the TEs obviously.  

No offseason for Fred, you're already in mid-season form.
