STACKED’s take
Negative signalBust
Waived by Cardinals after injury-plagued 2024 season. Went from league-winner hype and high FAAB investment to non-roster player; community consensus is he was never as good as hyped, underperformed vs. DeMercado and Bam Knight in limited action, and injury/management changes derailed any path. Multiple managers report spending 80–100% FAAB or trading valuable assets (Waddle, Smitty, Chase Brown) for him only to see immediate injury or poor performance. Some see waiver as potential blessing if he lands with better offensive line (Cowboys, Packers, Lions, Ravens, Chiefs mentioned), but most view it as confirmation he lacks NFL-level talent.
