Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

1,301

Range 539–1,301

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection Listed as the lead with the touches — score stepped up for that role, not to the previous starter's price.

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

Henderson had 31 solo tackles in 2026, ranking DB20 through 7 games. DB20 through 7 games is the running rank, next to a DB244 season. Played a short 2025 (3 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.
