Cowboys WR has career year with 9 TDs and 1420 yards
Pros / cons +
Pros
- Elite contested-catch/50-50 ball winner, big catch radius
- Joins fast-paced, pass-neutral (57.7% PROE) Dallas offense with Dak Prescott
- 93 rec / 1429 yds / 9 TD in 2025 proves high target share and volume ability
- Still ascending age curve at 25, 4 years exp, no decline signal
Cons
- Recurring hamstring history (2023 tweak, 2024 grade 2 strain, 3 games missed) -- games-played discount applied
- New team/scheme fit and target competition with CeeDee Lamb (Lamb is clear WR1)
- Below-average, in-flux Dallas O-line (Zack Martin gone, Guyton PFF 81/89 tackles, Hennessy on PUP)
- Playing on franchise tag without long-term extension -- some motivation/contract-year uncertainty
- 2025 TD rate (9.7% of receptions) is inflated and unstable; regressed down for 2026
- Contested-catch reputation is not a stable skill signal per methodology -- do not over-credit
