Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

17

Range 310–408

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

Depth/upside bet — DB 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

    3 of last 3 seasons under 15 games — slight availability risk, not a short 2026 slate.

Quick answer

Watch

McCloud ranks DB314 in 2026 through 1 game. Through 1 game the rank is DB314, off a DB213 season. Wait for more games before calling it a decline. 2025 stopped at 10 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
