Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
245
Range 182–308
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Depth/upside bet — TE role isn't locked starter volume yet.
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.
Quick answer
WatchAdkins caught 6 passes for 48 yards in 2025, finishing TE79. He scored about 8% less than his touches said he should. Recent form cooled from TE48 to TE79 — watch whether that's noise or a real step down. Played a short 2025 (6 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
