Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

174

Range 13–285

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection In-season usage moved the score inside this range.

Depth/upside bet — RB 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 ×0.96

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

  • Combine ×1.01

    Athletic composite 6.9/10 (RAS-like; fades after year 2).

  • Org environment ×0.99

    Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.

Quick answer

Buy

Sanders ran for 43 yards and caught 11 passes in 2026, ranking RB56 through 5 games. The running rank is RB56 through 5 games, from RB93. Don't treat that like a season finish. 2025 stopped at 4 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.
