Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
482
Range 468–532
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection Injured — score leans to the low end of the range until he returns.
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 ×1.02
Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Versatility ×1.02
Light floor from multi-role usage (rush+receive or dual-threat).
Org environment ×1.01
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Quick answer
HoldJacobs ran for 929 yards and caught 36 passes in 2025, finishing RB12. RB year-to-year rank has been jumpy; don't buy one season as destiny. Don't pay for a bounce from the 2026 projection alone. This is a hold, not a sell or a buy — the swings mean the price should already reflect the risk.
