He will be used but Eifert will too.

No way a decent coach doesn't have Tyler in his game-plan or packages.

When you have opposing coaches taking notice about your "glass man" as a threat you can't have him on the sidelines.

I myself don't want Eifert to be overused for chance of injury early but I can't help to think that him being used as #3 WR role over Ross wouldn't be a consideration.

This injured and underwhelming O-Line is what is sinking my hope of guys like Gio getting a fair shake.

Without proper blocking I just don't see Zac Taylor getting creative and propelling other players into more useful tools.

I hear ya, and this makes absolute sense, but I am putting a great deal of stock in to the scheme making the line more effective...What I mean is that previously the formation and personnel dictated what was coming.  You could sit and call 95% of the running plays.  I'm sure if we could do it, so could an NFL advance scouting department.  The fact that they are planning a great deal of play-action out of running formations is something that I think will really benefit the likes of our TE group.  

How many times would we see pitt find a TE in wide open space vs. Eifert getting drilled the second he catches the ball.  Todd Haley was hated by many, but his scheme gave piggy such easy completions.  I think ZT will improve the oline just on the basis of the defense not knowing what is coming and getting Dalton some easy, high % completions.
