Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
3,598
Range 308–8,563
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection Featured usage in a listed second role — score moved up inside a new range.
Depth/upside bet — RB 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.

Quick answer
HoldVidal ran for 109 yards and caught 7 passes in 2026, ranking RB41 through 5 games. RB41 through 5 games is the running rank, next to a RB42 season. The 2026 projection is thin — only roster him if you need the upside. This is a hold, not a sell or a buy — the swings mean the price should already reflect the risk.
