fantasy pts / game (PPR)
- Shrinking role
He's averaging 8.0 targets over his last game, compared with 13.5 before that. Fewer chances cap his ceiling no matter how efficient he is.
- Focal point of the passing game
He draws 32% of DET's targets. Target shares this high are sticky and give him a steady floor every week.
- Inefficient touches
6.5 yards per target on the season (the typical WR is at 8.4), and 2.4 over his last game. Production is being propped up by volume more than explosiveness.
- Tough recent schedule
Opponents in his last game (NYJ) 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
DET are averaging +0.08 EPA per play on offense. An efficient offense sustains drives and creates more scoring chances.
