Lambert-Smith's rookie season was not about a giant receiving line; it was about proving he can help on game day. Eighteen kick returns are real work, and he added a touchdown on limited offensive targets. The next step is turning that speed and confidence into a wider route tree so he is more than a return option.
Strengths: Kick-return experience, young legs and a demonstrated ability to make a limited offensive opportunity count. He can create value without needing a large target share.
Weaknesses: Five receptions leave his NFL receiving profile largely unproven. He must sharpen routes, releases and contested-catch consistency to climb a crowded depth chart.
