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.

Player quality
Why this DVS moved off a raw projection — not extra 0–10,000 components.
Durability ×0.96
One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.
Process ×1.03
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
Walker scored 176.4 Half-PPR points in 2025 (RB22). Played a shortened 2024 (11 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. The 2026 projection still has him in every-week starter range.
