WR · Bears
Target share is the cleanest signal that a journeyman is being trusted: every new team except Philly has handed him a bigger share than the last (2.1% to 14.7%), so each move has been a usage upgrade rather than a lateral.
Four teams in seven years, and his target share keeps climbing on each new uniform.

The bookend years are wild: an UDFA buried at 2.1% target share in 2019 has become a 14.7% target share starter for Chicago in 2025. The Philly dip (5.9% in 2023) is the only step backward — every other team has used him more than the last.
Why it matters. Target share is the cleanest signal that a journeyman is being trusted: every new team except Philly has handed him a bigger share than the last (2.1% to 14.7%), so each move has been a usage upgrade rather than a lateral.
Four teams. Three of them used him as a real slot weapon. One didn’t.

His per-game yardage is remarkably consistent at his last three legitimate stops — ~22–32 yds/game in Atlanta, Washington, and Chicago. The Philly season is the outlier: 14.9 yds/game on a stacked WR room (Brown/Smith/Goedert) where he was the 4th or 5th option. The lesson teams keep relearning is that he’s a real WR3/slot when he gets ~50 targets, and a non-factor when he doesn’t.
Why it matters. Per-game yardage is the fairest cross-stop comparison because it neutralizes how long he was on a roster, and 22-32 yds/game at three of four stops (with PHI's 14.9 as the lone dip in a stacked WR room) shows the role-not-talent story.
His top-ever game was a 93-yard catch — on a single target.

As a 2019 rookie he caught 1 ball on 2 targets for 93 yards vs Carolina — a 93-yard TD on a Matt Ryan crosser. That game is still his career-best in raw yardage outside the 103-yard 2020 Denver outing. The pattern: all 6 of his career 80+ yard games came from 2 different teams (Atlanta, Washington) — the offenses that gave him outside-the-numbers volume, not just slot work.
Why it matters. A 93-yard touchdown on a single-target game is a one-play career highlight that still stands as his second-best receiving day six years later, and the fact that all six of his 80+ yard games come from only two of his four teams (ATL, WAS) tells you which offenses actually used him outside the slot.
His 2024 Washington and 2025 Chicago seasons are nearly identical — only the catch rate diverged.

Target volume is nearly identical — 64 vs 65 — but the efficiency cratered: catch rate fell from 70% to 60%, and yards-per-reception dropped from 11.2 to 8.0. The Chicago version is more of a checkdown/screen option, the Washington version was a real intermediate slot piece. Both teams gave him a starter’s share — only one of them got starter production.
Why it matters. When target volume is identical (64 vs 65) but yards drop from 506 to 313, the efficiency gap is on the offense, not the workload — catch rate fell from 70.3% to 60.0% and yards-per-reception from 11.2 to 8.0, signaling Chicago shifted him toward screens and checkdowns.
13 red-zone targets in 2025 — by far the most of his career.

At 5—10 and 195 lbs he’s the *least* likely WR to be your red-zone target, yet Chicago has fed him 13 red-zone looks — the highest single-season total of his career. Conversion has dropped (15% — below his career rate of 24%), but the role assignment is a story by itself: he’s being used as a designed-target piece in the area where his career used to involve almost no involvement.
Why it matters. A 5-foot-something slot receiver suddenly seeing 13 red-zone targets in a single season (vs a prior-career peak of 9) is a coaching-decision story — Chicago is designing red-zone touches for him, even though the conversion rate (15.4%) sits below his 28.6% pre-2025 career mark.
