Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
1,748
Range 1,646–1,846
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection In-season usage moved the score inside this range.
Peak window — still valuable, but age is already shaping the dynasty price.
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.

Player quality
Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.
Durability ×0.98
One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.
Org environment ×1.02
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
