Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

380

Range 413–489

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection In-season usage moved the score inside this range.

Depth/upside bet — WR role isn't locked starter volume yet.

DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

Player quality

Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.

  • Durability ×0.98

    One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.

  • Process ×1.02

    Process residual (not a second production percentile).

  • Org environment ×1.01

    Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.

Quick answer

Hold

Ridley caught 5 passes for 81 yards in 2026, ranking WR112 through 4 games. WR112 through 4 games is the running rank, next to a WR115 season. 2025 stopped at 7 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. This is a hold, not a sell or a buy — the swings mean the price should already reflect the risk.
