Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Proven DL in his prime — production and runway both hold.
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 ×0.98
2 of last 3 seasons under 15 games — slight availability risk, not a short 2026 slate.
Org environment ×0.99
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Brown finished DL117 in 2026. Expect range, not a smooth curve — recent finishes span DL89 to DL124. Played a short 2026 (1 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. This is a hold, not a sell or a buy — the swings mean the price should already reflect the risk.
