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.

One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.
Quick answer
WatchSmith caught 18 passes for 115 yards in 2023, finishing TE61. He scored about 36% less than his touches said he should. Recent form cooled from TE46 to TE61 — watch whether that's noise or a real step down. 2023 stopped at 10 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
