Range 2,576–2,987
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 ×0.98
One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.
Org environment ×0.98
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.

McDonald scored 85.8 IDP (solo 1.5 / sack 4) points in 2025 (DL39). DL, age 27.2 — the profile is quiet enough that patience is the right call. The 2026 line is modest; opportunity has to break right.
