Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
0
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Win-now veteran — still scores, but dynasty runway is short at this age for a QB.
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
4.7 pts
0.3 PPG · 4.0 games
82 pass yds · 0.5 pass TD · 2 rush yds
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 ×1.02
Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Quick answer
WatchRivers threw for 544 yards and 4 TDs in 2025, finishing QB49. He scored about 6% less than his touches said he should. Recent form cooled from QB19 to QB49 — watch whether that's noise or a real step down. Only 3 games in 2025 — availability is the headline. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
