fantasy pts / game (PPR)
- Stable workload
His usage has held around 2.0 targets per game, so the swings come from what he does with the ball, not how often he gets it.
- Low target share
He draws 8% of ATL's targets. At this share he needs big plays or touchdowns to produce.
- Inefficient touches
3.3 yards per target on the season (the typical TE is at 7.1), and 2.5 over his last game. Production is being propped up by volume more than explosiveness.
- Scoring without touchdowns
0% of his fantasy points come from touchdowns. His yardage is doing the work, so there is upside if the touchdowns start coming.
- Soft recent schedule
Opponents in his last game (GB) give up more EPA per play than the league average. Some of the recent production comes from the matchups.
- Struggling offense around him
ATL are averaging -0.27 EPA per play on offense. Stalled drives and fewer red-zone trips limit what he can produce.
