Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
7,082
Range 6,432–7,721
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.

Player quality
Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.
Durability ×0.96
One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.
Process ×1.01
Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Versatility ×1.02
Light floor from multi-role usage (rush+receive or dual-threat).
Quick answer
HoldWilliams ran for 41 yards and caught 3 passes in 2026, finishing RB16. 2026 stopped at 1 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. 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.
