Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

3,959

Range 464–7,290

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection Featured usage in a listed second role — score moved up inside a new range.

Proven WR in his prime — production and runway both hold.

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.

  • Durability ×0.98

    One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.

  • Process ×1.01

    Process residual (not a second production percentile).

Quick answer

Buy

Dotson caught 8 passes for 149 yards in 2026, ranking WR70 through 5 games. Through 5 games he sits WR70, up from WR109 — a climb, not a final rank. The 2026 projection is thin — only roster him if you need the upside. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
