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.

2026 Engine Projections

56.3 pts

3.3 PPG · 6.0 games

849.4 pass yds · 4.4 pass TD · 57.8 rush yds

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 ×0.99
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.

Quick answer

Watch

Ridder threw for 458 yards and 2 TDs in 2024, finishing QB51. He scored about 36% less than his touches said he should. QB22 slipped to QB51 last year; that's the warning. Only 5 games in 2024 — availability is the headline. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
