It's understandable to see Gallup with so few catches at the moment and make one doubt he's even close to being back, but you have to realize Dak is actually spreading the football around to 8+ different receivers each game lately. This affects how many chances Gallup actually has to be able to catch in order to show up on his stats. When Gallup was the #2 WR before this season, one could see Gallup's catches being higher than they are right now. Don't let Gallup's lesser pass attempts and catches this season doubt he is playing better. He actually is. Just look at his route running on the field in recent games even when the football is not going to him. Gallup is clearly running his routes better, plus he is also helping clear out sections of the field for CeeDee, Cooks or another receiver to get open.
Fair comment about spreading the ball around.

Thar "good" game back last week was 3 catches or something like that.
That is all he will ever have. To expect him to have a 5-6 catch day is just unrealistic. 3 catches a game is 50 catches for a season. Seems like a lot for WR3. His role and importance to the team goes beyond receiving stats.
