...for a team absolutely desperate for a #2 target to step up in the passing game, none of them were very impressive.
Kroft: 42 catches/404 yards (9.6 AVG)/7 TD
Boyd: 22 catches/225 yards (10.2 AVG)/2 TD (Before the last play of the season, he was averaging 8.4 yards per catch.)
Uzomah: 10 catches/92 yards (9.2 AVG)/ 1 TD
So sure, if you're looking to run the dinkiest and dunkiest of pathetic offenses, those three are solid.
Otherwise you need actual legitimate receiving threats. Kroft is a good #2 TE at best, Boyd is a #4/#5 WR, Uzomah is a #3 TE. None of them would be starters on a good passing offense.
Kroft started all 16 games and failed to reach 30 yards in 10 of them. Heck, he failed to reach 15 yards in 8 of them.
They were in the same draft class. Interestingly enough, both their best seasons came in '15, too.
Eifert: 127 catches/1,537 yards (12.1 AVG)/20 TD
Reed: 275 catches/2,813 yards (10.2 AVG)/22 TD
Eifert's best season: 52/615 (11.8)/13 (71.1% of the offensive snaps)
Reed's best season: 87/952 (10.9)/11 (65.7% of the offensive snaps)
Hey Even Uz was more effective than eifert this year...
Players on the field are better than players on IR year after year. Sure eifert is great when healthy but when the hell is that.
