Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
234
Range 170–298
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Depth/upside bet — RB role isn't locked starter volume yet.
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
One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.
Process ×0.99
Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Quick answer
WatchMcLaughlin ran for 187 yards and caught 4 passes in 2025, finishing RB78. He scored 12% more than his touches said he should. Recent form cooled from RB49 to RB78 — watch whether that's noise or a real step down. Only 8 games in 2025 — availability is the headline. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
