Max Klare — 2026 Fantasy Outlook
The case for drafting him
Max Klare is a tight end on the Los Angeles Rams with a bye in Week 11. At this stage of a draft, the conversation is less about upside and more about roster construction. Klare sits at TE39, which places him well outside the range where most drafters are actively targeting the position. The honest case for rostering him is depth: if your TE1 misses time, you need a name on the wire or on your bench, and Klare is one of the options that exists at the back end of the position.
What the model projects
The projection is 45.7 half-PPR fantasy points for the season. The median simulated season lands at 43.3 points, close to the point estimate. His draft value is -75.0, meaning the projection sits below replacement level at the tight end position in a 12-team half-PPR format. He is ranked #284 overall and TE39, both in Tier 9.
The range of outcomes
The simulated season band is wide relative to the projection. The bottom 10% of outcomes lands at 8.2 points, and the 25th percentile sits at 21.3. The median is 43.3. The 75th percentile reaches 68.0, and the top 10% of simulated seasons finishes at 102.2 points. That p90 number is meaningful: in a strong outcome, Klare can produce at a level that would be useful on a fantasy roster. The floor, however, is very low, and the majority of simulated seasons cluster well below the kind of production that wins weeks at tight end.

How to draft him
Klare does not have a market ADP across public 2026 drafts, which means he is not being selected consistently enough to register a median draft position. In a standard snake draft, he is a late-round or post-draft waiver consideration rather than a pick you plan around. If you carry him on your roster, it is as a handcuff or a speculative stash, not as a starter. His Week 11 bye is worth noting when setting your lineup schedule.
