Efton Chism III Rest-of-Season Outlook
Through 6 games he's WR89 at 4.7 PPR points per game, against 2.1 over 8 games last season (WR161). He's running ahead of last season's pace.
Through Week 7 he ranks 72nd of 96 in target volume (7.2% target share) and 80th of 96 in downfield role (6.0% air-yards share). Downfield role is the soft spot. Drake Maye is his quarterback.
The main risk is the job itself. He's the listed starter with Kyle Williams next on the depth chart, and a benching or an injury would take his value to zero overnight.
The next favorable matchups are the Packers in Week 9 (10th against WRs) and the Lions in Week 10 (2nd against WRs).
What Drives His Outlook
