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.
2026 Engine Projections
75.6 pts
4.4 PPG · 6.0 games
1133.7 pass yds · 6.5 pass TD · 75.6 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.
Org environment ×1.02
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Quick answer
WatchHowell threw for 24 yards in 2024, finishing QB77. He scored about 118% less than his touches said he should. QB13 slipped to QB77 last year; that's the warning. Only 1 games in 2024 — availability is the headline. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
