I saw a tweet showing that Carson Wentz had the best 3rd down completion percentage, so since I was bored, decided to see who Dak targeted on 3rd down. Here is the chart. Dez was his number 1 target and had the lowest catch % of any WR. So, as I have said many times before, Dez held this offense back and I am glad he is gone. Glad Brice Butler is gone, too.

1st down percentage:

Dez...13÷38 = 34%
Witten...8÷27 = 30%
Beasley...8÷29 = 28%

And that's despite the fact that Fed's volume is higher and the yards to go is likely higher when they go to Dez (and therefore a harder conversion.

So I'm other words, their rate of 1st down conversion was higher going to Dez than their other main targets. Which doesn't sound like a player holding them back to me. I'm fact he was their best bet getting the first down (not counting the much smaller sample sizes).
