We project 11.6 PPR points per game across an expected 16 games — approximately 186 points for the season. His typical game last season landed between 7 and 18.1 (middle 50% of results), and that puts him #94 in projected scoring (#51 on the 1QB draft board once positional value is applied).
He delivered at least 75% of his average in 56% of games, with a floor of 2.5 and a ceiling of 20.9 fantasy points. He boomed (125%+ of average) in 38% of games and busted (under half his average) in 19%.
