Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

Range 4–280

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection Injured — score leans to the low end of the range until he returns.

Depth/upside bet — RB 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.

Quick answer

Hold

Giddens ran for 96 yards in 2025, finishing RB108. He scored about 46% less than his touches said he should. Played a short 2025 (5 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. The 2026 projection is cautious — wait for a real role change before paying up. This reads as a hold — nothing in the recent signal pushes it toward a buy or a sell.
