Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

183

Range 61–316

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection In-season usage moved the score inside this range.

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.

Quick answer

Buy

Fields caught 12 passes for 165 yards in 2026, ranking WR71 through 6 games. Still early at 23; there's room left if the job sticks. Don't pay for a bounce from the 2026 projection alone. Age is on his side — a reasonable buy if the WR role keeps opening up.
