Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
524
Range 495–554
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Depth/upside bet — DL 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.
Org environment ×1.02
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Quick answer
WatchWilliams had 6 solo tackles, 1 sack in 2025, finishing DL175. DL109 slipped to DL175 last year; that's the warning. Only 10 games in 2025 — availability is the headline. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
