Entrenched Rams WR1 alongside Davante Adams; led NFL in receptions in 2025. TD rate regressed toward mean per volume-over-efficiency methodology. Durability flag (2024 PCL knee, 2025 ankle) keeps injury tier at med despite no formal rule-tier match.

Strengths & concerns
Pros / cons +

Pros

  • Led NFL in receptions in 2025 with Adams already on roster -- proven he can dominate targets in a shared WR room
  • Entrenched, unambiguous WR1 role with Stafford under center
  • Age 25, Year 4 -- squarely in prime, no age-decline discount warranted
  • Possible tempo increase under Kingsbury influence could add play volume

Cons

  • Missed 6 games in 2024 (PCL knee sprain) and 1 game in 2025 (ankle sprain) -- physical play style creates real injury exposure
  • New OC (Scheelhaase) and possible co-OC arrangement adds scheme uncertainty vs. proven LaFleur system
  • TD rate is volatile and should not be extrapolated from any single season
  • Contract-year situation (extension unresolved) is a context flag, not a performance signal
