Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
4,089
Range 3,747–4,425
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Proven QB in his prime — production and runway both hold.
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.
2026 Engine Projections
235.5 pts
13.9 PPG · 15.3 games
3338.3 pass yds · 21.3 pass TD · 285.5 rush yds
Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.
Durability ×0.98
One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.
Process ×0.98
Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Org environment ×0.99
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Young threw for 3,011 yards and 23 TDs in 2025, finishing QB19. At 25, nothing in the recent seasons jumps off the page. 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.
