Strengths & concerns
Pros / cons +

Pros

  • Unquestioned Week 1 starter with a talented WR room (JSN, Kupp, Shaheed)
  • No current injury concern; full camp participation reported 2026-08-09
  • Sticky, respectable completion percentage supports a reasonable floor in garbage time

Cons

  • Run-heavy scheme continuity under new OC Fleury caps pass attempts (28.1/g in 2025)
  • Minimal rushing production limits floor compared to mobile QBs
  • TD rate likely to regress down from any 2025 hot streak; low weekly ceiling per Draft Sharks
  • Zach Charbonnet ACL injury complicates run-game distribution, adds uncertainty to O-line/backfield continuity
