fantasy pts / game (PPR)
- Shrinking role
He's averaging 5.0 targets over his last game, compared with 9.0 before that. Fewer chances cap his ceiling no matter how efficient he is.
- Reliable secondary option
He draws 21% of CAR's targets. That is enough for a solid floor, but big weeks depend on game script.
- League-average efficiency
8.4 yards per target on the season (the typical WR is at 8.4), and 3.4 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 (CLE) give up more EPA per play than the league average. Some of the recent production comes from the matchups.
- Struggling offense around him
CAR are averaging -0.12 EPA per play on offense. Stalled drives and fewer red-zone trips limit what he can produce.
