He's a depth option, not a priority pick: #184 overall, #26 at his position. Draft late or stream based on matchups.
His current ADP in ESPN drafts is 69.3 (roughly round 6 in a 12-team league). We rank him #115 in 1QB Full-PPR drafts, so he is fairly priced.
We project 11.9 PPR points per game across an expected 11 games — approximately 131 points for the season. His typical game last season landed between 6.9 and 16.5 (middle 50% of results), and that puts him #90 in projected scoring (#115 on the 1QB draft board once positional value is applied).
He delivered at least 75% of his average in 56% of games, with a floor of 4.5 and a ceiling of 21.7 fantasy points. He boomed (125%+ of average) in 33% of games and busted (under half his average) in 22%.
