Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

0

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

Depth/upside bet — QB 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 ×0.95

    2 of last 3 seasons under 15 games.

  • Process ×1.02

    Process residual (not a second production percentile).

  • Org environment ×1.02

Quick answer

Buy

Johnson threw for 372 yards and 1 TD in 2025, finishing QB53. He scored about 19% less than his touches said he should. Finish path matters here: QB70 → QB53 is a breakout, not a development pitch. Played a short 2025 (3 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
