Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

0

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

Depth/upside bet — QB role isn't locked starter volume yet.

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 ×0.95

    3 of last 3 seasons under 15 games.

  • Process ×1.02

    Process residual (not a second production percentile).

  • Org environment ×0.99

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

Quick answer

Watch

O'Connell threw for 102 yards in 2025, finishing QB61. He scored about 40% less than his touches said he should. QB38 slipped to QB61 last year; that's the warning. Played a short 2025 (1 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
