Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

5,033

Range 4,5945,464

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.

  • Process ×1.01

    Process residual (not a second production percentile).

  • Org environment ×1.01

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

Quick answer

Fade risk

Henry ran for 1,595 yards and caught 15 passes in 2025, finishing RB7. He scored 11% more than his touches said he should. He's 33 now, old enough that decline risk is real. The 2026 projection still has him in every-week starter range. Age makes this a fade risk in dynasty — win-now value only, don't pay a long-term price.
