He had that 3 touchdown game in week 4, and I know that’s a 3 touchdown game, but he hasn’t had one since.
So when we’re actually looking at like the expected touchdowns, he’s right at it.
So he’s not necessarily over overperforming, and since that week 4 game, top 13th or 13th in target share, 13th in production overall.
So those numbers have been.
There, the area’s been there, the target shares there, and that main thing is that red zone target share.
Like when he had that really good touchdown season a couple years ago, when he had 8 touchdowns, I think, a lot of that was because of that red zone work.

Tucker Kraft was leading this team at 32%, Dubs at 27%, and nobody else was even close to those two.
I love it, yes, we’re trying to figure out, OK, how did the Packers replace Tucker Kraft?
Is it gonna be with more 12 personnel, you know, Fitzpatrick and then Uh, you know, Luke Musgrave, how does that work together?
Well, who’s gonna be the wide receiver too?
Is it gonna be more of a deep guy like Christian Watson?
Are they gonna try to get one of the more layup guys?
The one guy who’s never leaving the field is Romeo.
Like he, he’s gonna be out there.
So I love to hear that he’s also kind of a, a positive regression candidate because of those touchdowns.
He’s definitely somebody that I think is an underrated fantasy starter right now as a wide receiver 3 flex play and maybe even more than that if the season continues to go the way it is.
