He has the same number of receptions (12) as Tee Higgins and only two fewer than AJ Green, who they have tried everything to get involved.  

Those 12 receptions came in four games, and he has 100 yards.  Project that over a season and you have 48 receptions for 400 yards, but remember, he is now the #1 TE with Uzomah out injured.  If he even moves up from 12 receptions in four games to, say, 20 (an increase of just two receptions per game...not crazy) and he averaged 10 yards per reception, that would put him at exactly 700 yards for the season.

I know he dropped a couple key balls last week, but I think the way Burrow attacks what defenses will give him (the middle of the field), I just don't think it is that crazy a possibility.
