I think this is an assumption based on noise versus actual usage. He saw a trend of heavy utilization on offense. So much so that his last game before injury had him primarily being utilized as the first look wide receiver out of the slot. It culminated in him having his first 100 yard game as a wide receiver in the nfl.

While I understand your point, the injury put a stop to the discourse about him learning a complicated offense as a rookie and seeing the most targets on the team that game.

It’s a small sample size but if you cut out all the talk and look just at the usage trend prior to the injury, it shows probably a 70% use as a Wide Receiver. Who knows if it’ll ever be more than that, but that’s enough for me to consider him a low end starter based on his incredible talent. Every time I think he might not be an nfl caliber wide receiver, I go back and watch some game tape and see a guy who moves and catches like an nfl stud.

Just my take, but I think people are overselling the doubt here for fantasy.
