Why this ranking
hand-set 2026-08-22
Trimmed 22 Aug at Matt's read that the tight ends ended the day too high. Earlier today this row was written at 13.0 games x 12.03/g on the active/PUP finding and Schefter's 'ahead of schedule ... chance to play Week 1'. The rate half still stands -- 12.03 is his own three seasons at the TE decay of 0.65 and the model's native 9.60 was 2.4 below anything he has produced. THE GAMES ARE THE OPTIMISTIC PART. 13.0 of 17 for a 32-year-old eight months from a torn Achilles takes the best available reporting at face value, and the market does not: ADP TE10 and ECR TE36, the widest split on the board. TE6 keeps him well clear of a native TE11 without pricing a clean season.
This is a view, not a correction — the model said something different and was overruled. See how it works.
