Super low-key stash with route share climbing from 13% to 28% with potential to reach 40–90% by fantasy playoffs; 20% targets per route run, 2.25 yards per route run, and 10% first downs per route run are elite metrics on very small sample; hesitant to call elite but efficiency looks strong so far.PositiveSleeperOct 26, 2026

Rookie upside pick attached to Patrick Mahomes with steam dying out on him. Ron Stewart is a big fan of throwing darts at rookies in the F tier, citing examples of late-blooming rookies (Rashi Rice, Aman Rosane Brown, Christian Watson, Elijah Moore, Jaylen Wadd, Jaden Reed) who became league winners; prefers hunting for these upside plays over finding next year's Trey Tucker. Not a rookie but belongs in the same tier class as other late-blooming receiver prospects like Travis Hunter.
