Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

8,601

Range 7,494–9,024

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

Proven WR in his prime — production and runway both hold.

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

Smith-Njigba caught 37 passes for 583 yards in 2026, ranking WR1 through 5 games. At 25, he's in the typical WR peak window. Into 2026, the projection still expects starter production. This reads as a hold — nothing in the recent signal pushes it toward a buy or a sell.
