Tight Ends or "Bless your heart OJ Howard"

So I saw TrollBamaTroll say

OJ Howard called and wants a #refund

I have been waiting to see the TE’s get utilized more. Most of those guys aren’t the fastest but they are still a load to try and bring down.

And I got thinking about a question I'd had and never could answer without doing some research. So I did the research. I went back to last year's play-by-plays and found each time a TE was targeted by Jalen or Tua. Here's what I found; interpret it how you will. Personally I would love to see the whole TE group get more touches, and I think they're a group who will benefit a great deal from having Tua back there to throw to them, especially on the short-to-intermediate stuff and/or crossing routes.
