AnalysisHe enters this stretch of the 2026 season as an unsigned free agent, having been waived by his most recent team in late August 2026 after a brief look that ended before the regular season started. The one flicker of good news is a real red-zone role (3.7 expected touchdowns) that produced zero scores, which is the kind of unlucky finish that can normalize into production if he ever lands in a similar role again. This is a clear sell/avoid in dynasty: hold no expectation of near-term production, and only revisit if he signs with a team and immediately steps into real snaps.
