Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

Range 170–298
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
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 ×0.99
Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Org environment ×0.99
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Quick answer
BuyBoutte caught 33 passes for 551 yards in 2025, finishing WR47. He scored 38% more than his touches said he should. The last two seasons moved from WR65 to WR47 — that's the dynasty read. The 2026 projection is cautious — wait for a real role change before paying up. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
