Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
101
Range 21–181
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Win-now veteran — still scores, but dynasty runway is short at this age for a RB.
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.
2026 Engine Projections

1.5 PPG · 13.1 games
8.4 rush yds · 10.5 rec · 68.3 rec yds
Player quality
Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.
Durability ×0.96
2 of last 3 seasons under 15 games — slight availability risk, not a short 2026 slate.
Org environment ×0.99
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Quick answer
BuyBurton ran for 8 yards and caught 10 passes in 2024, finishing RB91. He scored about 17% less than his touches said he should. Coming off a real climb — RB121 to RB91 tells the story better than age. 2023 stopped at 11 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
