Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
2,617
Range 235–5,936
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection Featured usage in a listed second role — score moved up inside a new range.
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
Buy lowMcLaughlin ran for 72 yards and caught 4 passes in 2026, ranking RB61 through 4 games. RB61 through 4 games is the running rank, next to a RB78 season. Only 8 games in 2025 — availability is the headline. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
