Fletcher's tackle numbers stand out as the clearest measure of his impact, averaging close to five per appearance and hitting 19 in a single outing — a figure that points to a player who consistently finds himself at the heart of defensive sequences after coming on. His carrying work is measured rather than dominant, suggesting his primary value lies in solidity and work-rate rather than ball-in-hand threat. Across 23 appearances, that consistency in both disciplines tells the story of a dependable impact replacement.
