fantasy pts / game (PPR)
- Shrinking role
He's averaging 3.0 targets over his last game, compared with 4.0 before that. Fewer chances cap his ceiling no matter how efficient he is.
- Low target share
He draws 15% of ATL's targets. At this share he needs big plays or touchdowns to produce.
- Inefficient touches
3.7 yards per target on the season (the typical WR is at 8.4), and 3.7 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.
Play style & archetype
Compares 2026 play-by-play and box score data against 54 qualified WRs across 3 games.
Archetype
Complementary role receiver
A secondary option who fits into the concept without commanding volume.
He sees light target volume (targets / game 3.7, bottom 1% of WRs).
He is not a volume focal point (target share 12.6%, bottom 1% of WRs).
He pushes the ball downfield far more than most (deep target rate 50.0%, top 1% of WRs).
EPA / target of -2.06 ranks in the bottom 1% of qualified WRs.
5 NFL seasons and 1,560 career receiving yards. Best year: 523 in 2022.
