Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

48

Range 0–110

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

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.

Quick answer

Buy

Shorter finished WR211 in 2025. Finish path matters here: WR220 → WR211 is a breakout, not a development pitch. 2025 stopped at 3 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
