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

Elite RB production now; the age curve is already in the score.

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 ×0.96

    3 of last 3 seasons under 15 games — slight availability risk, not a short 2026 slate.

  • Process ×0.99

    Process residual (not a second production percentile).

  • Versatility ×1.02

    Light floor from multi-role usage (rush+receive or dual-threat).

  • Org environment ×0.99

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