Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

Range 1,196–1,394
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Rookie capital play — the score leans on draft pedigree and the projection, not a long NFL sample.
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.

Quick answer
BuyDowns had 4 solo tackles, 1 sack in 2026, finishing DB5. 2026 stopped at 1 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. The 2026 projection is modest — the role has to hold. Age is on his side — a reasonable buy if the DB role keeps opening up.
