Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

755

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

Proven DB 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.

Quick answer

Buy low

Ward had 2 solo tackles in 2026, finishing DB154. The arc is recovery: DB138, then DB189, now DB154. Only 1 games in 2026 — availability is the headline. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
