‘Curtis Samuel has been a disaster of a free-agent signing. When he’s on the field, and not a healthy inactive, he’s given the team just four catches for 41 yards. Elijah Moore has filled the gadget receiver role, while Tyrell Shavers mostly has been asked to block. The one receiver living up to expectations is slot Khalil Shakir, who has 38 catches for 399 yards. A whopping 354 of those yards have come after the catch, a category in which Shakir ranks second in the league.’
