Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

71

Range 0154

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

Depth/upside bet — RB 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 ×0.96

    One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.

  • Org environment ×1.01

    Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.

Quick answer

Buy low

Ahmed ran for 61 yards and caught 16 passes in 2023, finishing RB73. He scored about 14% less than his touches said he should. Path runs RB90 → RB112 → RB73 — a bounce-back, not a blank slate. Only 7 games in 2023 — availability is the headline. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
