he will make the whole game, but will be limited in practice the following week and be a game time decision at best for week 2.

Breakout season might be just being able to get on the field for 17+ games. 

He is looking like glass at this point but let's hope he stays healthy and reaches some of the hype that seems to follow him, at least on here. 

He is not a great blocker, is not the biggest or fastest TE around but he is still young so hope springs eternal.

I haven't seen anything special from him even when healthy, but I sure hope I do soon.
