Our read
Written Oct 18, from his facts through last season
One catch on 2 targets through five weeks of 2026. That tells you everything about why he cannot help a fantasy roster right now, and it is enough. He has scored 0 points in three of his five games, 1.7 in the other, and he has not found the end zone once. This is not a slow start to a bigger role, it is the role. He is listed fourth among JAX tight ends, behind Brenton Strange, Nate Boerkircher and Tanner Koziol, and the coaching staff is unchanged from last season, so there is no new voice to imagine giving him more.
The deeper look does not rescue him. Last year he played 11 games and cleared the position's weekly median in just 2 of them, with a 23.1% snap share and a 2.1% target share. His best game of 2025 came in week 18 of 2025, 7.5 points. The one hopeful tick is efficiency, his yards per target climbing from 4.5 in 2024 to 6.1 in 2025, but 7 receiving yards this season says that stat is not moving him up any depth chart. And the history is against him: players in his spot, with his kind of touchdown usage, fell 0.7 points a game the next season on average, and he began this year already near nothing.
Our preseason pace was 2.2 points a game, and even that modest bar looks out of reach. For the full season we had him at 31 points, and he is not on pace to sniff it. We would let him go and spend the roster spot on a weekly starter question worth answering.
