Jared Wiley Rest-of-Season Outlook
depth TE for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished TE118 last season at 0.5 points per game.
Our 2026 Preseason Outlook
The numbers leave nothing to project. Across 2024 and 2025, Wiley logged a combined three games, one snap-heavy enough to register only a 19.3% snap share at its peak, and exactly two targets total. He turned those into two catches for 11 yards, a 0.2% target share in each season, and a WOPR near zero. The lone bright spot is a freakish 2.566 EPA per play in 2025 on a single reception, a sample so small it carries no predictive weight. For a 6-foot-6, 249-pound tight end entering his age-25 season, the opportunity simply has not materialized in Kansas City.
The draft market agrees, slotting him around TE82 with an ECR rank in the 500s and essentially no roster presence. Modest projections of 11 catches, 95 yards and a score reflect hope, not a defined role. Until he climbs the depth chart, he is a deep-stash dynasty flier at best.
