Isaac TeSlaa Rest-of-Season Outlook
depth WR for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished WR82 last season at 4.5 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's WR82 at 4.7 PPR points per game, against 4.5 over 17 games last season (WR82). The role is producing the same fantasy output two years running.
Last season he ranked 106th of 142 in target volume (4.9% target share), 84th of 142 in downfield role (9.4% air-yards share) and 121st of 142 in efficiency (0.82 yards per route run). Efficiency is the soft spot. Jared Goff is his quarterback.
The main risk is the job itself. He's the listed starter with Tay Martin next on the depth chart, and a benching or an injury would take his value to zero overnight.
The next favorable matchups are the Cardinals in Week 5 (4th against WRs) and the Packers in Week 7 (10th against WRs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
TeSlaa's rookie line is a study in efficiency without volume. On just 27 targets and a 4.9% target share across 14 games, he turned 16 catches into 239 yards and six touchdowns, posting a robust 0.66 EPA per play and a 55.6% success rate. The usage was deliberately downfield and concentrated near the goal line: 22 air yards per reception, 11 red-zone looks and three end-zone targets. The touchdown rate won't hold at six scores on 16 grabs, but the role is real.
The path forward hinges on snaps, not talent. He played under 40% of them while St. Brown and Jameson Williams soaked up the targets, yet Kalif Raymond's exit opens the No. 3 job for a near-6-foot-4 vertical threat. Projections around 25 catches, 350 yards and four scores frame him as a late-round dynasty stash and bench upside, one injury ahead of weekly WR2 relevance.
