Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
2,160
Range 572–643
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection In-season usage moved the score inside this range.
Rookie capital play — the score leans on draft pedigree and the projection, not a long NFL sample.
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.

Quick answer
BuyBoston caught 16 passes for 330 yards in 2026, ranking WR17 through 5 games. Age 23 leaves room to grow — if opportunity sticks. Don't pay for a bounce from the 2026 projection alone. Age is on his side — a reasonable buy if the WR role keeps opening up.
