Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
218
Range 171–299
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.

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.
Process ×0.99
Process residual (not a second production percentile).
McLaughlin ran for 31 yards in 2026, ranking RB71 through 3 games. RB71 through 3 games is the running rank, next to a RB78 season. Only 8 games in 2025 — availability is the headline. This is a hold, not a sell or a buy — the swings mean the price should already reflect the risk.
