The Case For

Owned a 5% target share, putting him in real difference-maker territory at TE.
Ran a route on 44% of team dropbacks, which is strong usage for a TE.
Commanded 2% of team air yards, giving him more ceiling than raw targets show.
Earned 0.07 targets per route, a strong sign the volume was not accidental.
Projects as TE51 in PPG while being drafted as TE66.

The Case Against

Converted 5% of catches into TDs — the scoring came from volume, so the volume has to hold.
Runs it back with Bo Nix at QB, so the environment must hold for the role to repeat.
Team added Jaylen Waddle, making last year's target share harder to repeat.
Ran routes on only 44% of dropbacks, which leaves less room for stable weekly volume.
Scored 1 TDs on only 1 red-zone targets, creating regression risk.
