Performance Analysis
C+
#47 of 164 TEs
FCA+
Marcedes LeWis grades a C+ performance mark, with his Pro Bowl-caliber stretches anchoring the read. At 42 years old and in his 20th season as a longtime veteran, LeWis remains a functional tight end option, though age has naturally compressed his overall impact—the gap between elite seasons and the current campaign is now measurable in consistency rather than peak output. His durability profile in 2025 shows 5 games played, a limited sample that reflects both the offseason phase and the reality of managing a veteran body through a full slate. The Broncos' recent roster moves—particularly the May signing of TE Dallen Bentley alongside other offensive additions—suggest the organization is actively diversifying its tight end room and possibly hedging against further durability questions. For a player drafted in the first round in 2006, LeWis has defied conventional decline curves, but the C+ grade captures a player whose contributions are now contingent on availability and situational deployment rather than the franchise-level impact of his prime years.
