Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
4,273
Range 4,071–4,823
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection Injured — score leans to the low end of the range until he returns.
Elite WR production now; the age curve is already in the score.
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.

Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.

Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Samuel caught 16 passes for 206 yards in 2026, ranking WR22 through 5 games. Signed a 1-year contract with SF on 7/30/26. 2026 looks more like a flex than a locked starter. This is a hold, not a sell or a buy — the swings mean the price should already reflect the risk.
