Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

Range 2,442–3,216
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Rookie capital play — the score leans on draft pedigree and the projection, not a long NFL sample.
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.

Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Sadiq projects for 25.1 catches for 263.8 receiving yards in 2026. He's 22 — best seasons can still be ahead if the role holds. Don't pay for a bounce from the 2026 projection alone. Age is on his side — a reasonable buy if the TE role keeps opening up.
