Brother I hope you and the family are healthy and well. My question is at the TE position Why do you think the TEs Juwan Johnson or Foster Moreau havent been featured at points in the passing game?

The short answer is they're being used a lot in protection. Chipping or straight up staying in on 6 and 7-man pro. When they are out on some of those 11-pers looks it's really matchup/spacing reads, and that is almost always going to take Carr to Shahid, Olave, or Kamara.

The other answer is the same one I gave earlier about there not bing a lot of 3rd WR catches. It's all about opportunities. if the Saints are running the ball 60-65%, going play action 10%, max protecting and/or chipping w/ the TE another 10-15%... there's just not gonna be a lot of opportunities for TE targets.
