PHI ranks 22 of 32 against WRs (one of the softer matchups, 4-game sample).

Listed WR on the latest depth chart with a 76% snap share.

The call

Usage is the driver: a 26% target share and 76% snap share over 4 games is a featured-receiver workload that plays in PPR regardless of matchup.
Matchup is neutral-to-slightly-favorable: PHI ranks 22 of 32 in DvP vs WRs, but it's a 4-game sample at 0.50 confidence, so don't lean on it heavily either way.
Game script is balanced: a 22.0 implied team total and a 1.5-point spread point to a competitive game with steady passing volume.
At WR34 he's a WR3/flex start over replacement-level options; no injury designation clouds the call. The risk is a modest ceiling, not a role concern.
