Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
0
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Young QB with proof and a long runway.
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 ×1.02
Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Quick answer
BuyLeonard threw for 415 yards and 2 TDs in 2025, finishing QB51. He scored about 23% less than his touches said he should. 2025 stopped at 5 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. The 2026 projection is cautious — wait for a real role change before paying up. Age is on his side — a reasonable buy if the QB role keeps opening up.
