Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Young QB with runway — the score still pays for the years ahead.
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
BuyPenix threw for 1,982 yards and 9 TDs in 2025, finishing QB33. Finish path matters here: QB47 → QB33 is a breakout, not a development pitch. 2025 stopped at 9 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.
