fantasy pts / game (PPR)
- Bigger role
He's averaging 12.0 targets over his last game, compared with 3.0 before that. More opportunity is the main reason the production has risen.
- Focal point of the passing game
He draws 25% of NYJ's targets. Target shares this high are sticky and give him a steady floor every week.
- League-average efficiency
8.2 yards per target on the season (the typical WR is at 8.4), and 5.3 over his last game.
- 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.
- Strong supporting cast
NYJ are averaging +0.24 EPA per play on offense. An efficient offense sustains drives and creates more scoring chances.
