Buy-low receiver despite negative analytics perception; super cheap right now. Packers invested significant draft capital (high pick) on him, signaling organizational commitment to opportunity creation. End-of-season performance showed improvement; team moved other receivers out of the way to establish him as full-time player. The source argues draft capital investment indicates Packers will do everything in their power to make it work, though doesn't guarantee success. Speculative upside: if he produces 7 TDs on 100 targets, becomes league-winner breakout. Recent Bears game performance showed flashes of competence.PositiveValueJun 12, 2026
