Quick answer
BuyRuckert caught 8 passes for 48 yards in 2026, ranking TE40 through 3 games. Through 3 games he sits TE40, up from TE58 — a climb, not a final rank. The 2026 projection is cautious — wait for a real role change before paying up. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
