Pull up total snaps by TE rankings.  Then pull up total routes run by TE rankings.

When you compare that with where he ranks it's paint the picture most of us can see, because we actually watch the games.  The guy is a complete non-factor, and a terrible draft pick.

Here's his ranks among TE's:

Yards - 30th
 
Receptions - 26th

Targets - 27th

TD's - Dead Last.

All of this despite the fact he's playing more than all by maybe 3-5 TE's in the entire league.  All this despite playing on a team where they throw the ball more than anyone else, and where his other legitimate TE competition got IR'd in week 2.
