Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
7,252
Range 6,473–7,771
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection In-season usage moved the score inside this range.
Peak window — still valuable, but age is already shaping the dynasty price.
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 ×0.96
One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.
Process ×1.01
Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Versatility ×1.02
Light floor from multi-role usage (rush+receive or dual-threat).
Quick answer
HoldWilliams ran for 343 yards and caught 27 passes in 2026, ranking RB5 through 5 games. He's 26 — that's peak RB age, not a wait-and-see profile. 2026 still looks like a starter, not a stash. This reads as a hold — nothing in the recent signal pushes it toward a buy or a sell.
