Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

218

Range 171–299

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection In-season usage moved the score inside this range.

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.

  • Process ×0.99

    Process residual (not a second production percentile).

Quick answer

Hold

McLaughlin ran for 31 yards in 2026, ranking RB71 through 3 games. RB71 through 3 games is the running rank, next to a RB78 season. Only 8 games in 2025 — availability is the headline. This is a hold, not a sell or a buy — the swings mean the price should already reflect the risk.
