Our read

Written Oct 19, from his facts through last season

The 5.72 points in week 1 of 2026 are the only week on his page worth a second glance, and even that is a spot start's number. Since then he went -0.56 in week 2 of 2026 and has not played since, sitting out weeks 3, 4 and 5 of 2026 with an O designation that carries into week 6 of 2026. He is listed third among Atlanta's quarterbacks behind Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix Jr., so the path to snaps runs through two names and an injury report that already has his.

Preseason projection39projected PPR points

The decline is real and it is not new. His scoring fell from 8.96 points a game in 2024 to 0.43 in 2025, and his yards per touch went from 0.7 to minus 1. Last year he never beat the position's weekly median in any of his four games, and his best week was 2.08 points. He played just 4 of 17 weeks in 2025, and the other 13 were healthy weeks a coaching staff chose not to use him. He is also 32.8 years old on opening day, entering his tenth season after going undrafted out of the 2017 class, and no quarterback on this page has less runway left.

Our projection gave him 39 points for the season on 5 expected games, 7.8 a game, and even that modest build assumed a role he has not touched. Two games into 2026 he is at 2.6 a game. The bye is still ahead in week 11 of 2026, but that only matters if he is on a roster, and we would not keep him there. Drop him and cover the spot with a quarterback who actually plays.
