Per-game production the model trusts through the missed time.

Only 8 games in 2025, but he still packed in 53 catches for 571 yards — a per-game rate strong enough that the model calls him WR6 near 17.2 PPG. In a pass-funnel, up-tempo Chiefs offense, that target role is a Round 2 bargain if the health holds.
