Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

Range 76–224
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.

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 ×1.03
Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Org environment ×1.01
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Quick answer
BuyRaymond caught 24 passes for 226 yards in 2026, ranking WR36 through 5 games. Through 5 games he sits WR36, up from WR98 — a climb, not a final rank. He's 32 now, old enough that decline risk is real. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
