The big-bodied belongings receiver has actually seen his numbers drop for the league's 19th-ranked offense. His receptions per video game are below a career-best 6.8 in 2023 to simply 3.6 this fall. His 41.5 percent success rate on targets is a profession low by almost 10 complete points.
The perpetrator is an unsteady death video game. 2nd year quarterback Anthony Richardson called up the type of huge downfield tosses you ‘d desire from a franchise quarterback, however finished simply 44 percent of them to begin the season. That resulted in a modification before Week 9, making 38-year-old veteran Joe Flacco the group's starter.

That's a rough search for a group whose disparity has actually doomed it to a 4-4 record this fall. The Colts are quite in the playoff race, which is what validated the switch from the high ceiling, low flooring death of Richardson to the more steady Flacco. It still feels like something that ought to have been interacted to the group's wideouts before it struck Twitter.
