Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
2,332
Range 2,042–2,332
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection In-season usage moved the score inside this range.
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.

Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.
Durability ×0.98
One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.
Process ×0.99
Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Freiermuth caught 19 passes for 169 yards in 2026, ranking TE8 through 5 games. He ranks TE8 through 5 games, after TE24. The season isn't over. The 2026 projection is cautious — wait for a real role change before paying up. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
