Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

4

Range 76–224

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

Depth/upside bet — WR 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 ×0.98

    One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.

  • Process ×1.03

    Process residual (not a second production percentile).

  • Org environment ×1.01

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

Quick answer

Buy

Raymond caught 26 passes for 244 yards in 2026, ranking WR43 through 6 games. Through 6 games he sits WR43, up from WR98 — a climb, not a final rank. He's 32 now, old enough that decline risk is real. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
