Achieved 20 PPR points per game for the first time in his career last year, finishing as WR8; the source expresses pride in this milestone: 'finally, for the very first time in his career, generated a 20 fantasy point per game last year. Very proud of him for doing that. Finishes the wide receiver eight.'
