Tai Felton Rest-of-Season Outlook
depth WR for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished WR193 last season at 1.1 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 2 games he's WR172 at 0.0 PPR points per game, against 1.1 over 5 games last season (WR193). He's running behind last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 138th of 142 in target volume (0.6% target share), 140th of 142 in downfield role (0.3% air-yards share) and 93rd of 142 in efficiency (1.19 yards per route run). Downfield role is the soft spot. Carson Wentz is his quarterback.
He's WR2 on the depth chart, so his value depends on the players ahead of him.
The next favorable matchups are the Colts in Week 7 (9th against WRs) and the Lions in Week 8 (2nd against WRs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Minnesota spent a third-round pick (102nd overall) on the Maryland product in 2025, but his rookie year produced almost nothing: a 4.4 percent snap share, 21 routes, and three targets across 12 games. He caught all three for 25 yards and 2.5 fantasy points, ranking 195th at the position. The microscopic sample did flash efficiency, a 0.461 EPA per play and 1.19 yards per route, but on volume this thin those numbers carry no predictive weight.
The 2026 path is blocked. Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison headline the room, with T.J. Hockenson commanding tight-end targets, leaving Felton fighting for the third or fourth receiver job. Mid-round draft capital and youth (he turns 23 this season) keep a flicker of dynasty upside alive if an injury opens snaps, but for redraft there is nothing to roster. Treat him as a deep-dynasty stash and nothing more in 2026.
What Drives His Outlook
