Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

275

Range 322–418

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection Injured — score leans to the low end of the range until he returns.

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.

Quick answer

Watch

Aiyuk caught 25 passes for 374 yards in 2024, finishing WR103. He scored about 30% less than his touches said he should. Aiyuk’s 2024 ended with a torn ACL in Week 7 — the 2026 question is recovery and role, not whether the talent disappeared overnight. 2024 stopped at 7 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
