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
HoldSchultz caught 28 passes for 277 yards in 2026, ranking TE18 through 6 games. He's 30 with a quiet recent trend — no red flag, no spike either. The 2026 projection is modest — the role has to hold. This reads as a hold — nothing in the recent signal pushes it toward a buy or a sell.
