Excellent and steady role with very high route participation (running as many routes as basically anybody) and target volume (getting targeted more than anybody). Median target share of 25% across six games (excluding week 5 early exit with 3% share); mean of 20% including that game. At 4,700 price point, difficult to find more solidified opportunity despite Deshaun Watson and Browns team context.
