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.

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.
Quick answer
Gardner scored 61.5 IDP (solo 1.5 / sack 4) points in 2025 (DB156). Only 10 games in 2025 — durability, not age band, is the headline. The 2026 line is modest; opportunity has to break right.
