Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

1,469

Range 1,398–1,542

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

Proven DB 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.
