We waited far too long to use him like we're using him. The only thing he isn't is a downfield burner but even then, with his body control and physicality at the catch point, I'd be fine giving him a YOLO ball or two per game.
We need to run the passing game through him going forward. Yes, even ahead of Kelce. We've gotta get defenses outside conscious or we'll continue to face all that traffic up the seams.
He needs to continue to see 10+ targets/gm.

We don't need Mecole Hardman as much as JuJu right now so I agree. If Josh Downs can get 12 targets a game we better not worry about doing the same with Rice.
