Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

0

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

Win-now veteran — still scores, but dynasty runway is short at this age for a QB.

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 ×0.95

    3 of last 3 seasons under 15 games.

  • Process ×0.98

    Process residual (not a second production percentile).

  • Org environment ×1.02

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

Quick answer

Fade risk

Flacco threw for 2,479 yards and 15 TDs in 2025, finishing QB27. He scored about 13% less than his touches said he should. 2024 stopped at 7 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. At 42, age is the lead risk for a QB. Age makes this a fade risk in dynasty — win-now value only, don't pay a long-term price.
