I'll explain it. (with bullet points!)
- He sees plenty of offensive snaps.
- He RARELY is put in where he would even be a possible target.
- He is often used as a downfield blocker on runs/screens/swing passes.
- The few times he is in on a play where he could be a target he has consistently gotten open and out of the 5 times he was thrown a catchable pass he has caught the ball 4. On the 1 drop he was wide open.

The only one going reerun here is you.
A WR's PRIMARY job on a passing play is to get open and catch the ball. Does anyone care about AJ green or Calvin Johnson's blocking? How good of a blocker is Avery? Yet he's still starting over Hemingway. Why is that? You think DeSean Jackson is a good blocker?
How can you claim to know whether or not he's rarely put in a position to be a possible target? Considering the amount of snaps he receives that's HIGHLY suspect. First off, you have no clue who the primary reads are on a given play. Secondly, you're assuming that he's put out there JUST to block for the majority of his snaps.
How exactly are you determining which plays he's an available target on and which he's not. And on those plays, how are you determining how open he is or isn't?
