Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
3,583
Range 3,293–3,868
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Win-now veteran — still scores, but dynasty runway is short at this age for a TE.
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
Fade riskKelce caught 76 passes for 851 yards in 2025, finishing TE3. He scored 11% more than his touches said he should. At 37, age is the lead risk for a TE. 2026 looks more like a flex than a locked starter. Age makes this a fade risk in dynasty — win-now value only, don't pay a long-term price.
