Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

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

Projected points per game

Quick answer

Hold

Zylstra caught 3 passes for 20 yards in 2025, finishing TE100. He scored about 62% less than his touches said he should. Finishes have swung hard (TE100 → TE101 → TE50) — volatility is the story. 2025 stopped at 1 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. This is a hold, not a sell or a buy — the swings mean the price should already reflect the risk.
