Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection Featured usage in a listed second role — score moved up inside a new range.
Proven TE in his prime — production and runway both hold.
DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.
