Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
444
Range 405–483
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Core RB 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.

Player quality
Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.
Durability ×0.96
3 of last 3 seasons under 15 games — slight availability risk, not a short 2026 slate.
Org environment ×0.99
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Quick answer
HoldDemercado ran for 312 yards and caught 13 passes in 2025, finishing RB64. He scored about 7% less than his touches said he should. At 28, nothing in the recent seasons jumps off the page. The 2026 projection is cautious — wait for a real role change before paying up. This reads as a hold — nothing in the recent signal pushes it toward a buy or a sell.
