Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

Range 1,836–2,079
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Peak window — still valuable, but age is already shaping the dynasty price.
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.

Versatility ×1.02
Light floor from multi-role usage (rush+receive or dual-threat).
Smith caught 2 passes for 50 yards in 2026, finishing TE22. After a rough middle year (TE35), TE22 looks like a reset worth tracking. Played a short 2026 (1 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
