fantasy pts / game (PPR)
- Bigger role
He's averaging 4.0 targets over his last game, compared with 2.5 before that. More opportunity is the main reason the production has risen.
- Low target share
He draws 10% of CHI's targets. At this share he needs big plays or touchdowns to produce.
- Inefficient touches
3.8 yards per target on the season (the typical TE is at 7.1), and 7.8 over his last game. Production is being propped up by volume more than explosiveness.
- 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.
- Tough recent schedule
Opponents in his last game (PHI) 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
CHI are averaging +0.06 EPA per play on offense. An efficient offense sustains drives and creates more scoring chances.
