Summary
Tanner McLachlan carries a 38.0 dynasty score, ranking 214 at TE. McLachlan’s 2025 production was limited by injury, and he needs a strong 2026 season to justify his current contract.
Projection Rationale
McLachlan’s 2025 season stats are limited due to injury, but he has the potential to be a mid-tier TE with a strong 2026 season. He has a 50th percentile efficiency grade and a 27th percentile usage grade. McLachlan has one year remaining on his contract, which provides a degree of role security.
Injury Risk
McLachlan was injured in 2025, limiting his production. He has a 75th percentile durability grade, which suggests he is not particularly injury-prone, but his age (27) and limited 2025 production increase his injury risk profile.
Opportunity Notes
McLachlan’s snap share trended stable in 2024, and his limited 2025 production does not indicate a significant change in his opportunity structure.
Scheme Fit Analysis
This scheme does not significantly limit McLachlan’s ceiling, but it may not provide him with the volume he needs to reach his potential.
Trend Assessment
Stable. McLachlan’s snap share trended stable in 2024, and his limited 2025 production does not indicate a significant decline in his overall trend.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: TE2-TE3. McLachlan needs to stay healthy and receive consistent volume to reach the TE2-TE3 tier. Floor: TE5-TE6. If McLachlan loses his job or his volume decreases significantly, he will likely fall to the TE5-TE6 tier. His trade value is 1,197, which suggests he has some value as a mid-tier TE.
