Our read
Written Oct 17, from his facts through last season
Green Bay lists him second behind Tucker Kraft, and that ordering has shown up on the field. Seven targets in five weeks, five catches, no touchdowns. The 2.7 points a game through week 5 of 2026 is not a slow start, it is the role.
The decline is two years old now. He went from 13.08 points a game in 2024 to 5.01 in 2025, and his target share fell from 19.5% to 10.3% over the same stretch. Inside last season the role shrank as it went, snap share from 58% over weeks 1 to 4 of 2025 to 38% over weeks 15 to 18, target share from 15% to 7% across the same weeks. The team change to GB was supposed to be the reset, but the offense has two young wideouts taking 39% of the targets between them and a tight end ahead of him. Our 62-point preseason number looks generous with every week that passes.
To be fair to the age-31 season, tight ends in his spot have gained 1.3 points a game on average from one year to the next, and he has played all three of the last seasons without missing a week. Durability keeps him active. Active is all he is. He has not topped 7 points in any week of 2026, cleared 15 points in none of his 17 weeks of 2025, and the bye in week 11 of 2026 is still ahead.
We would drop him and spend the roster spot on someone with a path to targets. The only reason to watch this page is a Kraft injury, and we do not wish for one.
