Eli Raridon fantasy outlook
Eli Raridon enters the 2026 season with NE and ranks TE43 and #245 overall in the current Gridiron Value projection. The model projects 67.8 PPR points across 15.0 games, or 4.5 points per game, placing the expected outcome in a lineup and depth tier. The preseason depth chart lists Eli Raridon as TE2, so the opportunity forecast is tied to that current role rather than name value alone. There is not yet a complete recent NFL season in the data, so role, draft investment, and the current team environment carry more weight than player history. Projection confidence is 23%, with a 2% modeled chance of a Top-24 positional finish. Availability is the main uncertainty because the current injury designation is Questionable.
Week 2 projection
Eli Raridon is projected for 2.3 PPR points at home against PIT in week 2, with a likely range of 0.0 to 10.5.
