You are 100% correct here.
Will Fuller can't catch. And I don't mean he can't catch by NFL standards. I mean he can't catch like a guy in a flag football game can't catch standards.
And we need to find a guy who can take the top off like that regardless of if he can catch. With him on the field everybody else feasts because defenses fear a guy who catches 1 out of 3 deep balls more than the guy who catches 2 out of 3 8 yard curls. So the second Fuller steps on the field we get better.
Fuller has played just over half the snaps (53%) so there is no small sample size either way. Watson without Fuller 89 passer rating. With Fuller 104. In Yards per play we currently rank 12th in the league at 5.7. With Fuller we jump up to top 5 and without him we drop to bottom third of the league.
He is more vital to the big play offense we rely on than any of Hopkins/Stills/Johnson/Hyde. That doesn't make him better. It just means that we he does cannot be replicated by anyone else on the roster.
