The target thing - well, after Watkins got hurt, he should have gotten an increase in targets, but I don't think he did, which leads me to believe he struggles getting open.

Watkins was out for games 3-9. (Their bye week was week 10.) Woods played games 1-13. In the 6 games with Watkins playing, Woods averaged 3.3 targets per game. In the games without Watkins, he averaged 8 targets per game. So he more than doubled his targets when Watkins was out.

Either way you cannot conclude just from targets whether or not a receiver gets open. There are so many other factors involved in being a frequent or infrequent target. And of course it doesn't matter, because the one thing routinely said about Woods by people who have observed his play is how effective he is at running routes.
