He's a depth option, not a priority pick: #230 overall, #55 at his position. Draft late or stream based on matchups.
His current ADP in ESPN drafts is 170.6 (roughly round 15 in a 12-team league). We rank him #220 in 1QB Full-PPR drafts, so he is a value at that price.
We project 6.1 PPR points per game across an expected 15 games — approximately 92 points for the season. His typical game last season landed between 2.6 and 8.2 (middle 50% of results), and that puts him #214 in projected scoring (#220 on the 1QB draft board once positional value is applied).
He delivered at least 75% of his average in 60% of games, with a floor of 0.1 and a ceiling of 12.1 fantasy points. He boomed (125%+ of average) in 27% of games and busted (under half his average) in 27%.
