Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

Depth/upside bet — QB 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.

Quick answer

Buy low

Rush threw for 229 yards and 1 TD in 2026, ranking QB42 through 2 games. Current rank is QB42 through 2 games — QB68 was the last finished season. Only 4 games in 2025 — availability is the headline. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
