His 2025 usage was volume-without-value: a 4.6 aDOT, just a 12% air-yards share and a 0.35 WOPR on a 17% target share, producing 124.0 points (7.3 PPG, PPR TE21) across 17 games. He has also never exceeded three touchdowns in a season, so scoring spikes have to come from YAC rather than downfield or red-zone volume.
David Blough was promoted to offensive coordinator for 2026, replacing Kliff Kingsbury, and his scheme reportedly motions tight ends into space with more play-action and under-center looks. That is a direct match for a converted-wideout tight end whose value is built on separation and yards after the catch.
Behind Terry McLaurin and Antonio Williams there is little proven pass-catching competition, and the backfield is a three-way committee (Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Rachaad White, Kaytron Allen) rather than a receiving-back monopoly. That leaves meaningful uncontested volume for the primary receiving tight end.
