Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
3,613
Range 3,234–3,795
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection In-season usage moved the score inside this range.
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 16 passes for 246 yards in 2026, ranking TE10 through 4 games. 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.
