Our read
Written Sep 8, from his facts through last season
The record here is the whole case, and it is bad. Zero of 17 games in 2025, and none of those weeks were injury. He was healthy and still did not play. Zero of 17 in 2024 too, with 10 healthy scratch weeks across the last two seasons against 3 games total since 2023. That is not a depth chart problem you can squint past. When a fifth-year tight end in his mid-twenties cannot get on the field for two straight teams, the league has already voted.
The new stop does not change the math. He moved from ATL to ARI, where Mike LaFleur and Nathaniel Hackett are installing a fresh offense in 2026, and the books posted that team at 3.5 wins. A 61% situation-neutral pass rate with 34.1 seconds a play is an offense that will throw, but not to him, and not often enough to matter on a three-win roster. Our projection has him at 2 points for the season, TE139, with an expected 3 games and a realistic range of 0 to 9 once injury risk is counted. The low tail comes from seasons cut short by injury, and even the top of that range is nothing.
There is no ADP on file and seven players left in his tier before a 0.5-point cliff, which tells you exactly how the board treats him. There is no pick, no round, no league format where this name goes on your sheet. Draft a rookie lottery ticket, a handcuff, anyone who takes a snap.
