v3.0 note — TE projections are preview-grade. The engine's TE Spearman ρ is 0.086 vs 0.27+ for QB/RB/WR. TE-specific feature weights are on the v3.1 roadmap. Use this comp grid as a directional indicator, not a hard projection. See methodology.

NFL comparables — first 7 career games

N = 7 games7 games is a very small sample. This shows how these players began, not how they will finish. It is a comparison, not a projection, and it should not be read as a settled view of anyone’s career. Drawn from 497 historical TEs who played at least 7 career games. A “game” is one in which the player recorded a stat line. Inactive weeks do not count, and the same rule is applied to the rookie and to every historical player he is compared against.

Eli Raridon’s actual 2026 NFL production, and the historical NFL players whose own first 7 career games looked most like it — same position, same number of games. His line is the highlighted row, so each comp can be read directly against it. Career outcome and career fp say what became of that player.

Pre-season college projection and college comps secondary
Superseded by the NFL comparison above. This is the pre-season estimate, built before Eli Raridon played a down: his college production comped against historical college players, anchored on draft capital. It is a weaker estimator (prospect back-test ρ 0.27 ex-TE) and it knows nothing about what he has actually done in the NFL. Kept for reference only.

KTC consensus. SF rank 388 (pos #55) — model delta ↑↑ +224. Positive delta = model bullish vs consensus; negative = bearish.
v3.6 projection methodology. Projection is the pick-tier baseline for this position. No comps with meaningful NFL careers — the historical college players most similar to this prospect either didn't reach the NFL or only had cup-of-coffee stints (<200 career fp). The pick-tier baseline anchors the number to what players in this position+pick range historically produce. low-confidence comp pool
