Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

7,249

Range 6,546–7,860

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

Proven WR in his prime — production and runway both hold.

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.
Process ×0.99
Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Org environment ×1.01
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.

Quick answer

Buy low

Collins caught 71 passes for 1,117 yards in 2025, finishing WR9. Path runs WR9 → WR22 → WR9 — a bounce-back, not a blank slate. Into 2026, the projection still expects starter production. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
