Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

47

Range 163–381

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection In-season usage moved the score inside this 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.

Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.

  • Combine ×1.00

    Athletic composite 5.3/10 (RAS-like; fades after year 2).

  • Org environment ×1.01

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

Quick answer

Buy

James ran for 15 yards in 2026, ranking RB112 through 3 games. He's 23 — best seasons can still be ahead if the role holds. The 2026 projection is cautious — wait for a real role change before paying up. Age is on his side — a reasonable buy if the RB role keeps opening up.
