It's a semi-educated guess really. Last season, Andy tried at least twice to get Hardman extra touches, and of course we know about CEH getting extra touches in a few games over the last couple seasons.
Thursday we're playing, well, a defense that is almost a picture-perfect situation for a player like Skyy to get some extra touches, and thereby possibly build Skyy's confidence. As well any other WRs (or other skills players for that matter).
I mean, we're in the 2nd quarter of the season; this next 4-5 weeks would be the time to do such things for Andy, because by the time we get to Weeks 12-13, the WR will most likely be set, as far as WR usage goes as the team gets ready for the playoffs.
Or, checking the schedule, Skyy's 'featured' game could be the following game, vs. LAC, a team he's already had some success against last season, plus it would give him more time to get ready for his increased role.
