Doyle has played in 12 games so far (he missed the 49ers game with a concussion), and he already has more catches (64) than he has ever had in his career, and there are still 3 games left to be played.
Out of all of the tight ends in the NFL, only Travis Kelce of the Chiefs has more (73) ........ and Kelce has been targeted 24 more times than has Doyle (108 targets for Kelce, 84 targets for Doyle.)
That statistic alone under the circumstances that you pointed out (a back-up QB and a bad coaching staff) is pretty impressive.
