Through 5 games he sits RB56, up from RB93 — a climb, not a final rank; 2025 also ended early (4 games).
Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
174
Range 13–285
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.
Combine ×1.01
Athletic composite 6.9/10 (RAS-like; fades after year 2).
Org environment ×0.99
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Sanders ran for 43 yards and caught 11 passes in 2026, ranking RB56 through 5 games. The running rank is RB56 through 5 games, from RB93. Don't treat that like a season finish. 2025 stopped at 4 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
