I don't think they were force feeding him at all. He was open plenty of times and Dak couldn't deliver the ball to him. When he did, he made a HUGE touchdown.
I think the offense has to get used to him because Dak works better with combo routes which is what they were doing w/o Dez. Dez's route tree requires more anticipation and Dak isn't at that level of anticipation, yet. I bet once All-22 comes out we'll see Dez running a lot of go routes with bracket coverage. It would explain not only why Dez didn't get many looks, but why Witten was open all game long.
