Why this value
Career window
Zach Heins is age 26, with a career-window input score of 94/100 for TEs.
Market context
The search-rank proxy is 87/100. Production, opportunity and efficiency are projection-derived inputs, not measured NFL performance. Agreement among these inputs is not independent on-field confirmation.
TE value context
These TE projection inputs combine prior information; they are not observed NFL percentiles. Current-season weekly records are shown separately and do not change the published production window.
Player-specific inputs
Model value breakdown
Normalized model input scores, not probabilities. Projection-derived scores are estimates. They do not establish a measured NFL role, even when a separate current-season weekly record exists. The career-window and draft-capital scales are not empirical percentiles.

Dynasty manager takeaway
Career-window input is the strongest part of Zach Heins’s current profile at 94/100. Draft-capital input is the clearest source of downside at 32/100. For trade decisions, compare that strength-and-risk mix with your roster timeline rather than relying on the overall value alone.
