TE · MIN · #84
Played a short 2026 (1 games) — health is the nearer question than talent.
Traded from LV to BAL (Mar 18, 2021).
Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
593
Range 572–614
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
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.

History starts Preseason 2026.
Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.
Durability ×0.98
3 of last 3 seasons under 15 games — slight availability risk, not a short 2026 slate.
Process ×1.03
Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Org environment ×0.99
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Oliver caught 2 passes for 22 yards in 2026, finishing TE31. Path runs TE37 → TE48 → TE31 — a bounce-back, not a blank slate. Only 1 games in 2026 — availability is the headline. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
