fantasy pts / game (PPR)
- Bigger role
He's averaging 9.0 targets over his last game, compared with 5.5 before that. More opportunity is the main reason the production has risen.
- Reliable secondary option
He draws 21% of TB's targets. That is enough for a solid floor, but big weeks depend on game script.
- Inefficient touches
7.0 yards per target on the season (the typical WR is at 8.4), and 6.9 over his last game. Production is being propped up by volume more than explosiveness.
- Tough recent schedule
Opponents in his last game (MIN) give up less EPA per play than the league average. He has been producing against strong opponents, so the numbers are probably underselling him.
- Struggling offense around him
TB are averaging -0.17 EPA per play on offense. Stalled drives and fewer red-zone trips limit what he can produce.
