He's a depth option, not a priority pick: #45 overall, #16 at his position. Draft late or stream based on matchups.
His current ADP in ESPN drafts is 121.2 (roughly round 11 in a 12-team league). We rank him #38 in 1QB Full-PPR drafts, so he is a value at that price.
We project 13.8 PPR points per game across an expected 17 games — approximately 235 points for the season. His typical game last season landed between 6.5 and 19.6 (middle 50% of results), and that puts him #64 in projected scoring (#38 on the 1QB draft board once positional value is applied).
He delivered at least 75% of his average in 41% of games, with a floor of 3.5 and a ceiling of 29.5 fantasy points. He boomed (125%+ of average) in 35% of games and busted (under half his average) in 29%.
