Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

470

Range 569612

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

Win-now veteran — still scores, but dynasty runway is short at this age for a DL.

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 ×0.95

    3 of last 3 seasons under 15 games.

  • Org environment ×0.99

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

Quick answer

Watch

Jones finished DL51 in 2026. DL35 slipped to DL51 last year; that's the warning. Played a short 2026 (1 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
