Year-two bounce-back candidate; M. Jones split (3x100 yards) vs. Lawrence (0x100); role shift to downfield.
Cautiously optimistic on year-two bounce-back despite rookie season struggles and prior analytical misses. The source acknowledges being wrong twice on BTJ (initially skeptical, then surprised by rookie production with M. Jones, then wrong again on durability/consistency). Rookie season production split reveals significant quarterback dependency: with M. Jones, BTJ had three games over 100 receiving yards and five games with 7+ receptions across six games with 10+ targets; with Trevor Lawrence, zero games over 100 yards and zero games with 7+ receptions across six games with 10+ targets. Now expects role change toward downfield target rather than high-volume receiver; projects fewer receptions but potential for big plays. ADP dropped to seventh round from second round last year (22nd overall); source is not actively targeting him in drafts despite acknowledging a potential 'buy the dip' angle, but does like his receiving total prop and believes he will bounce back in year two with more system comfort.
