fantasy pts / game (PPR)
- Stable workload
His usage has held around 6.0 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 17% of PIT's targets. That is enough for a solid floor, but big weeks depend on game script.
- Inefficient touches
6.3 yards per target on the season (the typical WR is at 8.4), and 10.0 over his last game. Production is being propped up by volume more than explosiveness.
- Soft recent schedule
Opponents in his last game (CIN) give up more EPA per play than the league average. Some of the recent production comes from the matchups.
Play style & archetype
Compares 2026 play-by-play and box score data against 54 qualified WRs across 3 games.
Archetype
Complementary role receiver
with vertical field stretcher traits
A secondary option who fits into the concept without commanding volume.
He is not a volume focal point (target share 14.2%, bottom 2% of WRs).
He is rarely used in the red zone (red-zone target rate 0.0%, bottom 2% of WRs).
He pushes the ball downfield far more than most (deep target rate 44.4%, top 4% of WRs).
He also shows traits of a vertical field stretcher.
2 NFL seasons and 280 career receiving yards. Best year: 166 in 2025.
