Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection In-season usage moved the score inside this range.
Proven QB in his prime — production and runway both hold.
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.

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 ×0.98
Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Org environment ×0.99
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Young threw for 1,268 yards and 9 TDs in 2026, ranking QB7 through 4 games. Through 4 games he sits QB7, up from QB19 — a climb, not a final rank. 2026 still looks like a starter, not a stash. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
