Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
364
Range 205–408
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection In-season usage moved the score inside this range.
Rookie capital play — the score leans on draft pedigree and the projection, not a long NFL sample.
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
BuyRaridon caught 9 passes for 112 yards in 2026, ranking TE37 through 5 games. Still early at 23; there's room left if the job sticks. The 2026 projection is cautious — wait for a real role change before paying up. Age is on his side — a reasonable buy if the TE role keeps opening up.
