Assess Realistic Potential Before Drafting

A player, despite scoring a notable number of touchdowns, exhibited a decline in overall performance, averaging only 48 receiving yards per game and ranking as wide receiver 40 in PPR points per game. His red zone efficiency significantly increased, converting 47% of red zone targets into touchdowns—a career high—yet he struggled under current defensive strategies designed to counteract his playing style. His effectiveness in one-on-one situations remains intact, but the overall NFL meta challenges players like him. Given his limited track record of finishing in the top 40 for points per game, it becomes difficult to envision a clear path to exceeding current performance expectations, particularly when drafting bench receivers with higher potential for becoming a reliable wide receiver two or better.
