Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
201
Range 79–328
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection In-season usage moved the score inside this range.
Rookie capital play — the score leans on draft pedigree and the projection, not a long NFL sample.
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
BuyBranch caught 7 passes for 46 yards in 2026, ranking WR119 through 5 games. He's 23 — best seasons can still be ahead if the role holds. Don't pay for a bounce from the 2026 projection alone. Age is on his side — a reasonable buy if the WR role keeps opening up.
