Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

261

Range 401–479

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection In-season usage moved the score inside this range.

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.

  • Process ×0.99

    Process residual (not a second production percentile).

  • Org environment ×0.99

    Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.

Quick answer

Watch

Boutte caught 12 passes for 153 yards in 2026, ranking WR82 through 5 games. He ranks WR82 through 5 games, down from WR47. Early, not a finished step down. The 2026 projection is cautious — wait for a real role change before paying up. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
