The call

Availability is the whole story: ruled out with a hamstring injury after not practicing all week, so there is nothing to start.
Consensus projection of 0.5 PPR points reflects a player who will not take a snap this week.
Even at full health he sits third on the depth chart behind Juwan Johnson and Noah Fant in New Orleans' tight end room.
With a 19.5 implied team total and a 7.5-point spread, this offense is not generating enough volume to feed a third tight end anyway.

Verdicts based on PPR scoring.
