This is my guess.
But given our struggles at WR I can't imagine that we would not have gone to him more if he really was still the same player he was in '15. Eifert was not just big and fast. He could get in and out of his cuts like a WR.
Even coaches that don't throw to their TEs a lot would find a way to use a player like the '15 version of Eifert. Bill Belichick does not believe in "bell cow RBs" but when he had Corey Dillon he got him 360 touches in the regular season and 74 more in 3 postseason games.
