Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
16
Range 136–271
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection He is out. The job is still his when he returns.
Depth/upside bet — WR 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 ×0.98
One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.
Process ×0.99
Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Quick answer
HoldAustin caught 31 passes for 372 yards in 2025, finishing WR74. Expect range, not a smooth curve — recent finishes span WR69 to WR106. Don't pay for a bounce from the 2026 projection alone. This is a hold, not a sell or a buy — the swings mean the price should already reflect the risk.
