Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
5,856
Range 4,913–5,856
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.

History starts Preseason 2026.
Player quality
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 ×1.03
Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Org environment ×0.99
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Quick answer
HoldKraft caught 20 passes for 212 yards in 2026, ranking TE15 through 5 games. 2025 stopped at 8 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. The 2026 projection is modest — the role has to hold. This reads as a hold — nothing in the recent signal pushes it toward a buy or a sell.
