Scheme Fit Analysis
Nathaniel Hackett coordinates a west coast offense with a 73.2% shotgun rate and 12.4% play-action rate, which could help Fairweather’s efficiency. However, the west coast scheme may limit his ceiling if he cannot develop into a reliable separator.
Trend Assessment
Declining. His production dropped to the 0th percentile, and he struggled to separate from defenders, indicating a need for improvement in his efficiency.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: TE4-TE5, if he improves his efficiency and becomes a reliable separator. Floor: TE7, if his efficiency and separation struggles continue.
Comparable Player
Shannon Sharpe, 1992-1998.
