Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
0
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.

831.2 pass yds · 4.3 pass TD · 56.6 rush yds
Player quality
Why this DVS moved off a raw projection — not extra 0–10,000 components.
Durability ×0.98
One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.
Org environment ×0.99
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Quick answer
Ridder scored 21.9 Half-PPR points in 2024 (QB51). Played a shortened 2024 (5 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. Don't buy a bounce from the 2026 Engine line alone; it's a low-volume outlook.
