Finishes have swung hard (RB12 → RB5 → RB27) — volatility is the story.

Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

499

Range 467532

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 ×1.02

    Process residual (not a second production percentile).

  • Versatility ×1.02

    Light floor from multi-role usage (rush+receive or dual-threat).

  • Org environment ×1.01

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

Quick answer

Hold

Jacobs ran for 929 yards and caught 36 passes in 2025, finishing RB12. RB year-to-year rank has been jumpy; don't buy one season as destiny. Don't pay for a bounce from the 2026 projection alone. This is a hold, not a sell or a buy — the swings mean the price should already reflect the risk.
