Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

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.

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.
Org environment ×1.01
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Quick answer
Buy lowBeathard threw for 349 yards and 1 TD in 2023, finishing QB57. He scored about 33% less than his touches said he should. After a rough middle year (QB82), QB57 looks like a reset worth tracking. 2023 stopped at 6 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.
