Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
825
Range 714–726
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Win-now veteran — still scores, but dynasty runway is short at this age for a kicker.
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.

One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.
Quick answer
Buy lowPrater made 18 field goals in 2025, finishing K26. The arc is recovery: K22, then K40, now K26. 2024 stopped at 4 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
