Should You Start or Roster Caleb Lohner?
Lohner is the definition of a developmental swing: a 6-foot-7, 250-pound athlete out of Utah who arrives in Denver at 24 with essentially no professional production to lean on. The market has noticed the lack of a track record, parking him around pick 402 overall and TE72 in redraft, with a dynasty valuation buried near TE124 and a roster rate hovering at zero. There are no projections to anchor to and no prior-season snaps to grade, which is exactly why he belongs on no standard-league radar.
The one practical wrinkle is health: an offseason cleanup procedure ends his spring early, though he should be cleared in time for training camp. Even a clean ramp-up leaves him buried behind Denver's established tight end options and fighting for a role rather than targets. The schedule grades out friendly, but that only matters once a player is on the field. For now, he is a watch-list name in the deepest dynasty formats and nothing more.
