Preseason Projection vs. Reality
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's WR69 at 6.1 PPR points per game.
He's WR2 on the depth chart, so his value depends on the players ahead of him.
The next favorable matchups are the Texans in Week 6 (5th against WRs) and the Colts in Week 8 (9th against WRs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Jacksonville spent the 191st overall pick on Cameron, a 6'1", 224-pound rookie out of Baylor, and the depth chart immediately works against him. He lands behind back-to-back first-rounders in Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter, plus veteran Jakobi Meyers and Parker Washington, leaving almost nothing on the table for a Day 3 flier. Sixth-round classmate CJ Williams is essentially fighting him for the same final roster spot.
The college tape offers something to dream on: Cameron paced Baylor in every major receiving category over his final two seasons, hauled in 59.3% of contested targets in 2024 with a single drop, and plays like a tackle-breaking runner after the catch. But he projects to the slot despite lining up wide 88.7% of the time, and his route tree is thin. Projections sit at zero across the board. He's a camp watch and dynasty taxi stash only, needing injuries to matter.
