Quick answer
BuyRoyals caught 2 passes for 4 yards in 2025, finishing WR212. He scored about 84% less than his touches said he should. Only 2 games in 2025 — availability is the headline. Don't pay for a bounce from the 2026 projection alone. Age is on his side — a reasonable buy if the WR role keeps opening up.
