Coming off a real climb — WR130 to WR102 tells the story better than age; 2025 also ended early (9 games).

Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

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.

Quick answer

Buy

McCaffrey caught 11 passes for 203 yards in 2025, finishing WR102. He scored 42% more than his touches said he should. Finish path matters here: WR130 → WR102 is a breakout, not a development pitch. Played a short 2025 (9 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
