Yoshi played 79% of the snaps on offense this year, the 6th most on the entire offense (Burrow, the IOL, and Chase are the only who played more).
He caught <60% of his targets from a QB who completed >70% of his attempts.
He broke 0 tackles and had a drop rate >8%.
His 1.9 YAC per reception was 177th/177.
If you care about PFF he was the 124th out of 132 WRs.
Yoshi was really really bad this year and his numbers were simply from the same thing as Auden Tate in 2019 where even a bad WR will put up SOME decent surface numbers so long as you ignore all the efficiency and effectiveness numbers and just keep feeding him volume. That's not improvement, that's just ignoring that playing him and throwing him the ball is not a good idea.
The only time he's worth an NFL roster spot is when we're inside our opponent's 10.
