Our 2026 Preseason Outlook
The 2025 profile screams afterthought: 10 games, an 18.8% snap share, and just 12 targets that translated to five catches for 51 yards and one score. The underlying marks are even harsher, with a -0.41 EPA per play and a 33.3% success rate, while his 41.7% catch rate and a 0.176 target-per-route figure leave no foundation to build on. The one intriguing wrinkle is usage as a vertical threat, evidenced by 17.6 air yards per target and 42.2 air yards per reception, but volume that thin caps any real value.
The 2026 outlook does nothing to clear the runway. He profiles as roughly the fifth wideout in Los Angeles behind Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, Tre Harris, and Brenen Thompson, with a Week 18 hamstring clouding his offseason. Modest projections near 10 grabs and 121 yards confirm he is undraftable in standard formats and only matters if injuries thin the room ahead of him.
What Drives His Outlook
His 2025 rank among the 142 receivers who played at least six games. Each bar is one receiver, best on the left; his is highlighted.
