107 targets in 42 career games as a 49er. That's literally 2.5 targets a game.

Don't need to use him a lot to use him effectively, though.
I worry a bit about a play-fake where he looks to be helping on that edge and then releases about 8 yards downfield on 3rd and 5 for an easy pitch/catch on a boot from Grapes.
You do that on 3rd down from our 40 and you've effectively created a scoring opportunity with zero risk and a damn high likelihood of success.
Do it on 1st and goal from the 6 and you've created a TD.
He can make a substantial impact on 2-3 targets if he moves the chains a few times in the process.
