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.

Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.
Durability ×0.98
One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.
Process ×0.99
Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Freiermuth caught 5 passes for 46 yards in 2026, finishing TE6. After a rough middle year (TE24), TE6 looks like a reset worth tracking. 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.
