Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

0

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

Proven QB in his prime — production and runway both hold.

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

  • Process ×1.03

    Process residual (not a second production percentile).

Quick answer

Watch

Rudolph threw for 310 yards and 2 TDs in 2025, finishing QB54. He scored about 43% less than his touches said he should. QB37 slipped to QB54 last year; that's the warning. Only 5 games in 2025 — availability is the headline. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
