Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

151

Range 76–225

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

Win-now veteran — still scores, but dynasty runway is short at this age for a RB.

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.

Quick answer

Buy low

Freeman ran for 319 yards and caught 1 pass in 2023, finishing RB64. He scored about 31% less than his touches said he should. The arc is recovery: RB92, then RB109, now RB64. Played a short 2023 (11 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
