On the surface, this may seem absurd. But recently, the veteran receiver has provided a boost for the offense. While DeAndre Hopkins is the lead dog in this offense, for every Batman there needs to be a Robin. I think Washington has provided exactly that.
This season, Washington is averaging 15.8 yards per catch, which is 15th in the league and tops on the team, and has scored three touchdowns in the last two games. The veteran receiver also has two games with more than 100 receiving yards with 105 against the Chiefs in the season opener and 127 against the Dolphins.
