Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
6,410
Range 6,133–7,353
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection Injured — score leans to the low end of the range until he returns.
Proven QB 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.

Player quality
Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.
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).
Org environment ×0.98
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Quick answer
HoldJackson threw for 967 yards and 6 TDs in 2026, ranking QB18 through 4 games. At 30, nothing in the recent seasons jumps off the page. 2026 still looks like a starter, not a stash. This reads as a hold — nothing in the recent signal pushes it toward a buy or a sell.
