Like flailing it out there begging for someone to smack the ball out.
Uncharacteristic of him compared to last year.
With that said, I think he proved last year he deserves to be on a 53.
He can be a solid lower-end or backup receiving TE.
He needs to prove though that yesterday's game was an anomaly, not a trend, as he may find himself expendable or inactive in favor of the younger McLachlan if he's not careful. The leash for things like that should just be about 3-4 games this year.
You may wanna look around all the other teams' TE depth charts, as I'm fairly confident you'll find plenty of teams with worse backup receiving TEs than him.
Mclachlan is way more dynamic, as is Burton. Figure a way to coach them up and get them the ball.
Outside of Chase we do not have guys that can break a tackle and get yards. Taking only what the defense gives you is not a good strategy if receivers cannot move the ball after the catch.
