Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

3,496

Range 734–8,563

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection Featured usage in a listed second role — score moved up inside a new range.

Proven RB in his prime — production and runway both hold.

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.

Quick answer

Buy

Mitchell ran for 139 yards and caught 12 passes in 2026, ranking RB40 through 6 games. Through 6 games he sits RB40, up from RB66 — a climb, not a final rank. Don't pay for a bounce from the 2026 projection alone. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
