What It Means:

Fleener still managed 50 catches last season in his first taste of the New Orleans offense, but he didn't live up to the expectations of a five-year, $36 million contract. The 28-year-old faced a steep learning curve in his first year with the Saints. "I think anytime you’re trying to learn a new offense, trying to learn a language... going through it for a year really helps," he said.

Fleener came in 13th in Reception Net Expected Points per target among the 32 tight ends to see at least 50 targets in 2016.
