Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
115
Range 250–361
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection In-season usage moved the score inside this range.
Depth/upside bet — WR 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 ×0.98
3 of last 3 seasons under 15 games — slight availability risk, not a short 2026 slate.
Process ×0.99
Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Org environment ×0.99
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Quick answer
WatchMetchie caught 5 passes for 56 yards in 2026, ranking WR100 through 3 games. Through 3 games the rank is WR100, off a WR90 season. Wait for more games before calling it a decline. The 2026 projection is thin — only roster him if you need the upside. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
