How this is measured
Fantasy points are nflverse's standard and full-PPR scoring (6 points for a rushing or receiving touchdown, 4 for a passing touchdown, minus 2 for an interception or a lost fumble); half PPR is the average of the two. Ranks are points a game among players at his position with at least half the most games played. Most weeks is his 20th to 80th percentile game. Bars are green on a boom week and red on a bust; the dashed line is the starter line, the points a game of the WR24 in a 12-team league. The format you pick is remembered on this device.

Targets are steady: 0 a game over his last three against 0 for the season. 8 straight games below a starter's median in targets. Week 8 was his season high in yards.
How this is measured
Bars are his week. The shaded band is the league's middle half at his position, every qualifying player-game this season, and the dashed line is its median. The solid line is his trailing three games. An × on the baseline is a game his team played without him; a dotted tick is the bye.
He has faced the 12th-toughest slate vs WR: his opponents rank 15.9 of 32 on average (league middle 16.4). Ahead: 2 of his next 9 are top-10 vs WR and 4 are bottom-10, starting with the Bengals (18th, away) in Week 10.
