Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
320
Range 222–419
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Rookie capital play — the score leans on draft pedigree and the projection, not a long NFL sample.
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.

Quick answer
HoldNowakowski projects for 18.7 catches for 196.5 receiving yards in 2026. He's 24 with a quiet recent trend — no red flag, no spike either. Don't pay for a bounce from the 2026 projection alone. This reads as a hold — nothing in the recent signal pushes it toward a buy or a sell.
