Verdict history

Week	Verdict	Reason
2026 Week 2	Toss-Up· medium	Elite route volume (32 of 36 Mayfield dropbacks) but just 4 targets and a 15% share — WR42 with a 10.0 projection is flex-or-bench, not locked in.
2026 Week 1	Toss-Up· medium	WR42 at 10.3 projected is flex-fringe: healthy slot role and 18% target share give a PPR floor, but not enough volume to trust as a WR3.
