Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

285

Range 227343

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.

  • Org environment ×1.01

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

Quick answer

Watch

Mixon ran for 1,016 yards and caught 36 passes in 2024, finishing RB13. Recent form cooled from RB5 to RB13 — watch whether that's noise or a real step down. At 30, age is the lead risk for a RB. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
