Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

Range 0–249
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection In-season usage moved the score inside this range.
Depth/upside bet — WR 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.

Royals caught 3 passes for 17 yards in 2026, ranking WR114 through 4 games. Through 4 games he sits WR114, up from WR219 — a climb, not a final rank. Played a short 2025 (2 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
