Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
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 — not extra 0–10,000 components.
Durability ×0.98
One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.
Process ×0.98
Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Combine ×1.00
Athletic composite 7.0/10 (RAS-like; fades after year 2).
Org environment ×0.99
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Quick answer
McCarthy scored 125.4 Half-PPR points in 2025 (QB32). Played a shortened 2025 (10 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. The 2026 model is cautious — wait for a real role change before paying up.
