Opportunities are carries plus targets. Snap share comes from the NFL’s snap counts and can lag a day behind. Red zone is inside the opponent’s 20, goal line inside the 5; red-zone looks are carries plus targets, and touchdowns are his own rushing or receiving scores there.

Age and contract outlook
- Age
- 33 this season
- Typical peak for TEs
- 25
- Years left
- – free agent
| League year | Age | Typical change | Projected pts/game |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2027 | 33 | now | 6.5 |
| 2028 | 34 | -1.0 | 5.5 |
| 2029 | 35 | -2.1 | 4.5 |
The curve is how TEs scored from one season to the next at each age, averaged over every back-to-back pair of 8+ game seasons since 2017 (this league’s scoring). Projections start from his last 17 games and add the typical change; they say nothing about injuries or role. He’s a free agent, so this shows the next three seasons.
