Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

1,528

Range 1,419–1,567

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.

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 ×1.01

    Process residual (not a second production percentile).

  • Org environment ×1.02

    Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.

Quick answer

Buy low

Gesicki caught 12 passes for 159 yards in 2026, ranking TE9 through 4 games. TE9 through 4 games is the running rank, next to a TE40 season. The 2026 projection is thin — only roster him if you need the upside. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
