Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

1,896

Range 616671

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

Rookie capital play — the score leans on draft pedigree and the projection, not a long NFL sample.

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.

  • Combine ×1.01

    Athletic composite 6.3/10 (RAS-like; fades after year 2).

  • Org environment ×1.01

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

Quick answer

Buy

Klein caught 1 pass for 16 yards in 2026, finishing TE42. Only 1 games in 2026 — availability is the headline. Don't pay for a bounce from the 2026 projection alone. Age is on his side — a reasonable buy if the TE role keeps opening up.
