Meanwhile Moore gets .192 targets per route despite being further down the progression due to his relative inexperience. Why should a 4th option be getting more targets per route run than the 2nd?
My point is that JJSS scores relatively 'higher' in yards per target than he does in yards per route run because his routes don't yield targets as often as they should for the top WR on a team. And it's because JJSS simply doesn't get much separation.
The top WR for the top scoring offense in football, a team with a 5,000 yard passer, has 95 targets on the season. And less than 900 yards receiving. That's just not a terribly efficient player and not someone that any team 'can't afford to lose'.
That's pretty damn fungible.

By 2 yards - he averages ~11 yards per catch. Also he missed almost an entire game with a concussion. I know numbers don't always tell the whole story but I think with Skyy they are very telling. For a second round draft pic he really isn't living up to expectations. I have to go back to comparing playing time between Watson and him - he just isn't getting on the field and Watson has been less than stellar. That is very telling and something that the other numbers don't bear out.
