Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

652

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

Core WR hold — the DVS blends recent production with the years still left.

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.

Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.

  • Durability ×0.95

    2 of last 3 seasons under 15 games.

  • Combine ×1.00

    Athletic composite 5.7/10 (RAS-like; fades after year 2).

  • Org environment ×1.01

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

Quick answer

Watch

Vele caught 25 passes for 293 yards in 2025, finishing WR93. Recent form cooled from WR77 to WR93 — watch whether that's noise or a real step down. 2025 stopped at 9 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
