What It Means:

"With the issues at wideout, Darnold seems to throw to his tight end over and over again," Hughes observed. "If both parties stay healthy, they could be in store for a big season." Herndon put together an encouraging rookie campaign but his sophomore season was ruined by suspension and injuries. He and Jamison Crowder could dominate targets in 2020 on a Jets offense that is thin on pass-catchers.

numberFire's models project Herndon for 77.2 targets, 48.6 receptions, 527.6 yards, and 3.7 touchdowns this season. He's the TE20 in our preseason fantasy rankings.
