2026 Outlook
Third-year breakout candidate despite injury durability concerns. Played 11 games in year 1, 9 in year 2 (knee, hamstring injuries, plus pre-draft gunshot). Shows target upside when healthy: 8.0 targets/game in first 3 weeks of 2025, then 96/85-yard games in December on 7-8 targets. 18.9% explosive catch rate (4th among WRs). Faces Mike Evans and Christian Kirk competition, but both are aging/injury-prone. Late-round value with breakout potential.
