Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
7
Range 23–182
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection In-season usage moved the score inside this range.
Win-now veteran — still scores, but dynasty runway is short at this age for a RB.
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.
