fantasy pts / game (PPR)
- Shrinking role
He's averaging 2.0 targets over his last game, compared with 2.5 before that. Fewer chances cap his ceiling no matter how efficient he is.
- Low target share
He draws 8% of KC's targets. At this share he needs big plays or touchdowns to produce.
- Efficient with his chances
15.4 yards per target on the season (the typical WR is at 8.4), and 11.0 over his last game. He is turning volume into yards better than most at his position.
- 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 (MIA) give up more EPA per play than the league average. Some of the recent production comes from the matchups.
- Strong supporting cast
KC are averaging +0.18 EPA per play on offense. An efficient offense sustains drives and creates more scoring chances.
