Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
6,859
Range 6,232–7,475
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Win-now veteran — still scores, but dynasty runway is short at this age for a RB.
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 ×1.03
Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Versatility ×1.02
Light floor from multi-role usage (rush+receive or dual-threat).
Org environment ×1.01
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Quick answer
Buy lowMcCaffrey ran for 1,202 yards and caught 102 passes in 2025, finishing RB1. He scored about 5% less than his touches said he should. McCaffrey’s 2024 Achilles injury wiped most of the season; dynasty value still hinges on whether the 2025–26 workload returns to every-down form. 2024 stopped at 4 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
