To be fair if I were him, I'd be expecting more targets and a bigger role after the playoff production and performance. Before he was injured he had what, maybe 5 total targets on the year.
In today's world of WR, I'd be pissed if I were him. Who knows maybe he's not and this is all speculation.
I know this is literally all conjecture and we don't really know anything, but this would be so soft. You were the top guy in a deep playoff run a year ago, and you suddenly get passed up by two transfers and are even borderline outproduced by KK Smith?
It's not like there is some conspiracy theory to not target him. If that were the case, it means two transfers and a healthy Faison outworked and competed for a larger target share, and guys like KK Smith took advantage of their limited opportunities against NC State.
My gut tells me he really is hurt. He never struck me as a "diva."
The only other plausible scenarios are that he is redshirting or transferring. The latter would be a joke and only an indictment on how soft he is, and if that were the case, good riddance.
