fantasy pts / game (PPR)
- Stable workload
His usage has held around 7.0 targets per game, so the swings come from what he does with the ball, not how often he gets it.
- Reliable secondary option
He draws 23% of CHI's targets. That is enough for a solid floor, but big weeks depend on game script.
- Efficient with his chances
10.2 yards per target on the season (the typical WR is at 8.4), and 12.9 over his last game. He is turning volume into yards better than most at his position.
- Scoring without touchdowns
13% of his fantasy points come from touchdowns. His yardage is doing the work, so there is upside if the touchdowns start coming.
- Tough recent schedule
Opponents in his last game (PHI) give up less EPA per play than the league average. He has been producing against strong opponents, so the numbers are probably underselling him.
- Strong supporting cast
CHI are averaging +0.06 EPA per play on offense. An efficient offense sustains drives and creates more scoring chances.
