White line = his actual median (41). Gold line = this week's WinForge projection (53.3). This bar is built from recorded results, not a modelled range.
THE SHAPE OF HIS 2025 SEASON
His 2025 weeks were not evenly spread. The best was 55 receiving yards in Week 15 against DEN; the quietest was 31 in Week 14 against CHI. He finished above his own 41-per-game average in 2 of 5 games.
He accounted for at least one touchdown in 1 of 5 games, never more than one in a game. Scoring is the most volatile part of any projection, so a record built on a handful of multi-score weeks reads differently from one spread evenly.
His longest single play on record in 2025 went for 31 yards. That single play is worth about 75% of an average game for him, which is the difference between a total built on steady volume and one that depends on a single play landing.
Across those games he handled 22 targets and 3 carries.
