Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

3,366

Range 3,0993,629

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

Win-now veteran — still scores, but dynasty runway is short at this age for a RB.

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 ×0.96

    2 of last 3 seasons under 15 games — slight availability risk, not a short 2026 slate.

  • Process ×1.01

    Process residual (not a second production percentile).

  • Org environment ×1.01

    Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.

Quick answer

Buy low

Montgomery ran for 60 yards and caught 3 passes in 2026, finishing RB6. After a rough middle year (RB27), RB6 looks like a reset worth tracking. Only 1 games in 2026 — availability is the headline. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
