Range 450–519
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.

Quick answer
HoldKolar caught 10 passes for 142 yards in 2025, finishing TE59. He scored 9% more than his touches said he should. Only 10 games in 2024 — availability is the headline. The 2026 projection is thin — only roster him if you need the upside. This reads as a hold — nothing in the recent signal pushes it toward a buy or a sell.
