Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

246

Range 183–309

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

Depth/upside bet — TE 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.

  • Org environment ×1.02

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

Quick answer

Buy low

Adkins caught 4 passes for 40 yards in 2026, ranking TE35 through 3 games. TE35 through 3 games is the running rank, next to a TE80 season. Played a short 2025 (6 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
