Quick answer
WatchSchoonmaker caught 14 passes for 132 yards in 2025, finishing TE71. He scored about 33% less than his touches said he should. Production trend is soft: TE44 → TE71 over the last two seasons. The 2026 projection is cautious — wait for a real role change before paying up. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
