I agree in part that it is about how the defenses are playing him. However, this guy has not only been CONSISTENTLY finding the open area but he has been making some fantastic catches. He has also been making the necessary adjustments after the catch to pick up the first downs, quite frequently.
IMO, this guy is an earned probowler, not just a product of the system. Casey may have good hands but how good is he at finding the open area? Dreesen is not as athletic. I don't want this to seem like a negative post. I am just saying OD should be given more credit for his play this year than "he is just a product of the system, and can easily be replaced by one of the other TEs on our team".
