Summary
John Samuel Shenker carries a 39.0 dynasty score, ranking 187 at TE. The 26-year-old enters 2026 with a 100th percentile age trajectory grade after playing just 3 seasons.
Projection Rationale
Shenker’s 7 receptions for 7 yards in 2024 indicates a low-volume role that may not translate to consistent fantasy production. His 50th percentile efficiency grade suggests he needs more targets to reach his ceiling. Shenker’s $225,000 APY and 1 year remaining on his contract provide role security for 2026.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025. Shenker’s age and durability grade at the 75th percentile suggest a moderate injury risk profile.
Opportunity Notes
Shenker’s 17.0% average offense snap share trended up in 2024. However, his role remains uncertain due to limited targets and efficiency.
Scheme Fit Analysis
His usage in a run-heavy offense may be limited.
Trend Assessment
Rising. Shenker’s 2024 snap share trended up, increasing from 14.0% in Week 5 to 40.0% in Week 8, indicating growing usage.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: TE3-TE4, requires increased targets and efficiency. Floor: TE7-TE8, if volume decreases or he loses his role. Shenker’s trade value is 1,229, indicating a mid-tier asset.
