2026 Outlook

Third-year breakout candidate. Dealt with foot injury late 2025 that limited him to 37.6 yards/game after mid-October, compared to 67.5 yards/game in first seven games. Should see significant volume increase as top target in Ben Johnson's second year at HC. Efficiency metrics strong: 14.4% explosive catch rate, 13.9 aDOT (9th among pass catchers), 15.3 Y/R (tied 7th). (per Fantasy Football Third-Year Breakout Candidates for 2026 - FTN (For The Numbers)). Positioned as a primary weapon for Caleb Williams in 2026 alongside Luther Burden, Cole Kmet, and Coleston Loveland, with D'Andre Swift handling rushing volume. DJ Moore's trade to Buffalo opens targets for the group to distribute (per Chicago Bears 2026 Training Camp Preview: It's All About Caleb Williams).
