AI outlook

WR2 / primary slot receiver behind Tetairoa McMillan in a run-leaning CAR offense; strong per-target efficiency but recurring soft-tissue injury risk and weak QB play cap the ceiling.

Strengths & concerns
Pros / cons +

Pros

  • Locked in as CAR WR2 / primary slot receiver for 2026
  • 9.8 yards/target over last two seasons - top 8 of 121 WRs with 50+ targets
  • Averaged 3.7 rec / 46.9 yds / 0.4 TD per game as featured WR2 down the 2025 stretch (WR26 pace in PPR)
  • Same offensive staff (Canales/Idzik) returning reduces scheme-learning risk

Cons

  • Recurring lower-body soft-tissue injuries: missed 3 games in 2024 (hamstring), ~6 games to start 2025 (quad/hamstring)
  • CAR offense projects run-heavy and bottom-10 in pace; weak QB play from Bryce Young caps target volume/efficiency
  • O-line in flux (LT Ekwonu out most/all of 2026, RT Moton on NFI) could hurt passing-down snaps and protection
  • First career play-calling season for OC Brad Idzik adds scheme uncertainty
