Wolfe reports BTJ to be used on vertical routes in 2026. Community heavily skeptical: BTJ already ran 29% Go routes in 2024 (per NFL Savant); ADOT dropped from 14.5 yards (2023) to 11.4 yards (2024), suggesting downfield role may not be optimal for fantasy. Comments note he was a 'sacrificial X' last year and struggled with drops/alligator-arming; downfield role typically requires high catch rate to produce fantasy value. Reporter (Wolfe) credibility questioned due to Travis Hunter speculation. Consensus: this is either non-news or potentially negative, as intermediate/slot role (Parker Washington's domain) preferred for volume in modern defenses with 3-high safeties.
